RE: Exploring Human Origins: A Look Back at the Inner Earth as Our Possible Ancient Home
It's a good theory to consider, but personally, I subscribe to the notion that our strain of DNA came from other worlds and were just delivered to this planet by way of asteroids. I feel like we have yet to achieve our final form, that's why we haven't fully evolved to battled all of the planet's elements. It does take millions of years and humans as a species have only lived for a fraction of it, so evolution is still taking place. It's a slow process, and one that we cannot see develop.
I don't know! There are lots of of ways to try to make evolution work in our chronology, and my whole life I've used evolution and adaptation as a blueprint for how the animal kingdom and humans came to be. The troubles that arise with an objective study of the theory are numerous, and there are quite a few things that never made sense to me about it. For instance, but I think strangely sometimes, I believe that such a question as 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' is a fair and legitimate question in a review of evolution, and while we know that through breeding and genetics we can make a better chicken over a few generations, and natural selection serves a similar function over time, there's still that thing about the egg. What a precarious leap that must have been for the original chicken, or chicken egg; an entire species depending on lots of factors, like that specialized beak that the chick used to break the first eggshell-- would it work?
Here in this piece I mainly wanted to explore the possibility that we had evolved according to evolution, but had done it in a different habitat than the one we're in now, and I'd never heard a lot of speculation that maybe we developed indoors-- inside the planet, so I went ahead and speculated that myself here. I don't think it really went over too well, maybe the article makes me sound like a creationist by default when I question Darwinism, but hell even Darwin questioned the idea of evolution, and I am a long-time fan of his, so I feel free to elaborate on those questions, and I like the idea of a hollow planet, so I mixed the two together for this fun little jaunt. I still don't know how we came to be here, and dunno if the Earth is hollow, I just enjoy adding logic to old ideas to see what surfaces in the mix.
I think it's as good a theory as any other I've ever heard. Maybe even a better one. The only trouble I have with it, is I can't imagine life without the wind through the trees, fresh air...would that be possible inside the earth? Or is it the true evolution that we were once completely suited for living inside the earth, but after being on the outside for tens of thousands of years we've changed so that we're not completely suited for either at this point.
I like that idea too; that we aren't suited for either at this point. I was trying to answer Darwin's question of where are all of the fossil records of us becoming the modern homo sapien sapien or whatever we are called now; maybe all of those fossils are inside the planet, fossils that would possibly even show the perfect curve of evolution which allowed us to advance cerebrally, how we got so smart compared to the surface critters before we got out here. I'm still looking for that missing link I guess. Next time... maybe we're from Mars! No seriously I think I'll back off of this topic for a while now.
Wait, explain that more. Do you mean some kind of micro organism that was somehow attached to the asteroids, and if so, how would it survive a collision course?
The hypothesis is called Panspermia which posits that there is life all around the universe, and the intermingling was made possible because of meteors, asteroids and comets. The below zero temperature preserves the bacteria. It's only when the cosmic mass enters an atmosphere when it becomes hot. The core still preserves the bacteria.
It could be that we are the byproduct of millions of bacteria from all around the universe, and with the right mix of the elements on Earth, we were able to materialize. Water would be the key factor though. So, yeah, if this holds true, then we are aliens by definition.
I've heard that spores can survive in space, and that maybe we are somehow related to mushrooms, but I'm not sure how that would work at all. If mushrooms are family, I suppose I should spend more time with them, but last time we hung out it was a little awkward and weird.
The last time I hung out with them, I lightly sauteed them in EVOO and ate them, so I'm not sure how forgiving they would be.
haha yep I ate every one I ever knew.
