The mystery of the origin of man worries scientists, philosophers, physicians and archaeologists for many centuries. Having learned to use his brain and speak, a person wondered where and why he came from, various theories were put forward - from primitive creeds to complex cosmogonic systems, people of the past believed that a god or gods created a person, some higher beings endowed with supernatural power. Later, science began to "rule the show", Darwin's theory arose, explaining the mystery of the origin of man by the progressive movement of evolution. However, this did not become the last step; more and more new alternative theories are emerging that consider the issue from a different angle. We invite you to get acquainted with some of them.
Creationism
The most ancient theory of the origin of the world and man is the concept of divine creation. For many centuries, people believed that God was the creator of the first people,Adam and Eve, from whom all other people are descended.
Bible teaching claims that this happened about 6 thousand years ago. However, geological and archaeological finds cast doubt on this figure, because the true age of mankind is about 40 thousand years.
Modern look
Everyone decides for himself whether to believe in the divine theory, we will present an interesting fact that allows you to look at the hypothesis from a different angle. To quote the text of the Bible:
“And the Lord God brought a sound sleep upon the man; and when he fell asleep, he took one of his ribs, and covered the place with flesh. And the Lord God created from the rib taken from the man a wife, and brought her to the man. And the man said, Behold, this is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken from man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cling to his wife; and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:21-24).
The creation of a woman occurs at the moment when Adam is plunged into a deep sleep, which resembles anesthesia, and the removal of the rib itself is similar to an operation that allows you to obtain genetic material.
Darwinism
Another popular and familiar theory of evolution from school. The mystery of the origin of man is explained here by the natural processes of development. At one time, this bold hypothesis caused a wide resonance in the scientific world and the clear dissatisfaction of the church, whose postulates were questioned. Caricatures were drawn on Charles Darwin himself, in which this venerable old manappeared in the guise of a grimacing monkey.
The mystery of the origin of man was briefly explained as follows:
- All living organisms on the planet have a single common ancestor.
- The progenitor of man is a primate, but over time people have changed.
Interesting facts about Darwin's theory and their interpretation are presented in the film “The Mystery of the Origin of Man. Forbidden archeology. The essence of the complex process is natural selection and can be summarized as “survival of the fittest.”
The adherents of the theory believed that archaeological finds would help them discover the so-called transitional forms - the remains of creatures that combine the features of primates and humans. In addition, it was hoped that living specimens preserved in the deep corners of the planet would be discovered.
Fact manipulation and criticism
Evolutionists ruined the "reputation" of their theory by the fact that, not finding irrefutable evidence, they created them with their own hands. In particular, the Mbuti, a representative of one of the pygmy tribes of Africa, was passed off as a "transitional form" that combines the features of humans and primates. The man, whose name was Ota Benga, was kept on a chain, then placed in a zoo, where he was proudly shown to visitors as proof of the theory. Unable to bear the shame and constant humiliation, the unfortunate African committed suicide at the age of 32.
The unfortunate pygmy was soon forgotten, and evolutionists continued to prove their theory with all the truth andlies. So, in 1912, the skull of the so-called Piltdown man was discovered, in which features of a transitional form were revealed, proving that people really descended from monkeys. For more than 40 years, representatives of the scientific world believed in its authenticity, until falsification was proven in 1953. It turned out that this skull belongs to a person, and the lower jaw of a primate is attached to it artificially.
These and similar hoaxes undermined the credibility of the theory of evolution, although in schools it is still presented as the only true one. But modern researchers are trying to find out the truth, offering very bold hypotheses.
Mysterious artifacts
In the documentary "The Mystery of the Origins of Man (BBS)" with Charlton Neston as the narrator, you can get acquainted with a selection of shocking facts that cast doubt on the correctness of Darwin's theory. Here are some examples:
- 1880 - a tool was discovered in rock layers, the geological age of which is more than 50 million years. They may well indicate that humanity is much older than is commonly believed in official science.
- In the 60s of the last century, many spearheads were discovered in Mexico, the age of which is 50,000 years.
- Dinosaur footprints frozen in lime were found in the bed of the Palaxi River (Texas), next to which there are other footprints resembling human ones. However, official science claims that dinosaurs and humans are separated by millions of years.
All this raises doubts about the authenticityDarwin's theory.
Space hypotheses
The most popular and logical is the theory of panspermia, according to which meteorites, flying over our planet, “seed” it with the smallest organic particles. This suggests that the transfer of the simplest microorganisms to Earth from other planets is quite possible. The main evidence sounds like this: the planet was lifeless and was a large fireball, devoid of atmosphere and containing no oxygen in its composition. In such an environment, living organisms could not have arisen in any way.
However, the beginning of the formation of life was the formation of the atmosphere and the appearance of oxygen in it. How could this happen? There is a completely logical hypothesis: a meteorite fell on the planet, on the surface of which there were microorganisms that managed to survive in such a harsh "fire-breathing" climate. It was they who gradually created the atmosphere and saturated it with oxygen.
The second similar theory is directed panspermia, its essence is that life is brought from outer space, but behind this process there are some higher beings, inhabitants of other planets. And the civilization that "revived" the Earth, quite possibly, has already ceased to exist.
Sixth race - experiments
Let's get acquainted with an alternative theory proposed by the Soviet scientist Oleg Manoilov. For a long time, his experiments and their results were strictly classified. Now the film “The Sixth Race. Mystery of originperson. Strange thing.”
In the 30s of the last century, a scientist conducted an experiment by analyzing blood samples of various representatives of races and nationalities in his laboratory. The main goal of this large-scale experiment was to confirm the hypothesis that modern people do not and cannot have a common ancestor. The theory as a whole explains the appearance on the planet of a huge number of races, sub-races, which at the moment are not fully classified.
Experiments were conducted in an atmosphere of strict secrecy, briefly the essence of the experience can be described as follows:
- The scientist was mixing blood samples with a special solution, his own invention.
- Part of the blood turned a deep blue hue.
- Other color samples did not change.
All this suggested that people with different bloodlines have completely different ancestors.
The essence of the hypothesis
Modern geneticists have found that the blood of some living beings has a blue tint due to the content of copper in it, while red, "ordinary" blood, has iron. A shocking conclusion arises - the blood of individual representatives of races differs in composition. And the ancestor of these people may well be not a primate, but a reptile.
About the fate of the researcher after the experiments, almost nothing is known, we only know that his diaries were seized, and the results of the work were classified.
Evidence
Let's continue our acquaintance with the “Sixth race. The secret origin of man. Of course, not everyone is able to believe thatsome people are descended from reptiles, but the evidence is as follows:
- In the myths and legends of many peoples of the world there are some snake-like creatures that became the progenitors of people. There are many images of half-humans, half-snakes. Of course, the evidence itself is weak, but given the simplicity of the minds of ancient people who drew what they saw and rarely fantasized, then there is reason to think.
- In China and Japan, people believed that the imperial dynasties were descended from dragons. Snakes enjoyed honor and respect in ancient Egypt, in Indian tribes.
- There are so many planets in the galaxy that intelligent life could well have originated on some of them.
This allowed us to put forward a bold hypothesis - powerful snake-like creatures flew to Earth from another planet, on which copper was the main element. Hence the difference in blood color. However, why is modern man not covered in scales, like a reptile? The answer was found by an American researcher - he suggested that one of the ancestors of people is a hybrid of a primate and a dragon.
Involution
Let's get acquainted with another unusual hypothesis, the author of which is paleoanthropologist Alexander Belov. He wrote the book “The Mystery of the Origin of Man Revealed. The theory of evolution and involution”, in which he suggested that it was not man who descended from animals, but, on the contrary, in the course of involution - degradation - primates appeared. Consider the main provisions of the theory.
- Many animals have a resemblance to humans in external structure, and various "human" signs can be observed in animals that are not related to each other.
- The remains of primitive people are so ancient (contemporary finds testify to this) that these early people could very well be the ancestors of modern orangutans and gorillas. Belov argues that the following can be assumed: primates are descended from an upright human who, for some reason, climbed a tree.
- Serious studies confirm that monkey and human feet are very different from each other, so many scientists categorically refuse to believe that people are descendants of primates.
In this he argues with Darwin's theory. Note that the book itself gives the impression of a serious work with a large number of references, sources, quotes from other scientists, pictures illustrating its main provisions. But not popular at the moment.
