This is a blog about some other blogs that have appeared the previous week on this site, and about some books, and some dot-connecting. So here we go. The late Charles Fort said something in his The Book of the Damned that I and other authors have cited, pondering its implications from the standpoint of ancient texts that suggest that humanity was perhaps the product of some genetic engineering experiment between "the gods" and some Earth-born hominid: "I think we're property. "I should say we belong to something: "That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other … [Read more...]
DNA PATENT RESEARCHERS CONCERNED: DO YOU OWN YOUR GENES? THOUGHTS AND SPECULATIONS
HAVE HUMAN MALES BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN THEORY SAYS THEY HAVE?
This one intrigued me for a number of reasons, but the bottom line here is that a recent study of the Y chromosome in African-American males has led to a rather interesting conclusion: Study of African-American Chromosome Poke Holes In Evolutionary Theory Now, while I would urge the reader to adopt a heady dose of caution before endorsing the headline's conclusion - "Study of African-American Chromosome Poke(s) Holes in Evolutionary Theory," it is interesting to ponder some of the implications of these particular paragraphs: "The study focuses on the analysis of a DNA sample that was … [Read more...]
MORE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO “HMMM…”: BIGFOOT, SASQUATCH, AND DNA
Recently I posted a short blog about the purported discovery of the finger of a giant (we "know" it had to be from a giant because, so we're told, the finger was some 16" long). Of course, stories of such giant finds abound on the internet, often with accompanying photos, and more often than not, most of the time these turn out to be hoaxes. In the case of the finger, I noted that a bit of Hollywood makeup artistry could come up with it. Yet I also noted that there is a more serious search on, involving none other than world-famous Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes, to sequence DNA samples … [Read more...]
GIANT FINGERS AND THE GENETIC QUEST FOR YETI/SASQUATCH
There's a bit of serious fun going on lately, concerning giants and genetics. Most of you are probably aware that the internet is rife with stories and pictures of the discovery and/or suppression of the find of humanoid giant skeletal remains. I have referred to these stories myself on this website. Well, there's a bit of fun, and a bit of seriousness, on both subjects going around lately. First, the "fun" courtesy of Mr. V.T., who found it and shared it with me: Giant Finger Discovered! O.K....we are all skeptical, not the least of which because with today's techniques and makeup … [Read more...]
MORE MYSTERIES IN THE HUMAN GENOME
There is more interesting news on the growing mystery of humanity's genetic history, and since this is a topic of interest to us here on this website, this one(courtesy of Mr. T.W.), following in the wake of the story I reported from Russian genetic studies a few weeks ago, is rather important: Sex with early mystery species of humans seen in DNA, UW researcher says What is interesting here is something that I have speculated upon in my various books, and that on the basis of consideration of some ancient texts, and some modern genetics. We may outline this speculation by highlighting … [Read more...]
