Humans do NOT come from Earth
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2507377/Humans-NOT-come-Earth--sunburn-bad-backs-pain-labour-prove-expert-claims.html
A U.S. ecologist has claimed that humans are not from Earth but were put on the planet by aliens tens of thousands of years ago.
Dr Ellis Silver points to a number of physiological features to make his case for why humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth, in his new book.
They range from humans suffering from bad backs - which he suggests is because we evolved in a world with lower gravity – to getting too easily sunburned and having difficulty giving birth.
Dr Ellis says that while the planet meets humans’ needs for the most part, it does not perhaps serve the species’ interests as well as the aliens who dropped us off imagined.
In his book, HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH: A SCIENTIFIC EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE, the ecologist writes the human race has defects that mark it of being ‘not of this world’.
‘Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth's environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more,’ he told Yahoo.

Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
I've never felt at home on this planet. I always thought the logical explanation was that we were from Mars. The population of Mars knew their planet was dying and and they moved to Earth.

Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
While the germ of life might have come from somewhere else, there's the inconvenient fact that human beings have the same basic body layout and parts list as nearly every other vertebrate I know what you mean though, Lurker.
Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
Also, having things like problems with the heat/sun, bad backs, etc. hardly makes us any different from any other living thing, all of which have vulnerabilities and health issues.

Yes...
We do know, eddie...
His story is pure fantasy..
Huh, wassat ? Bright lights.. strange noises... something about "phone home" ?

Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
Sometimes I wonder if anybody ever uses critical thinking on stuff like this. "All things are possible"? Sure, but let's look at this:
Human being, frog, lizard, tiger. All four have:
* A brain in their heads and two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth on the outside
* Supported by a spinal column made up of a stack of smaller bones
* branching into a torso that has four limbs that branch out into digits at the ends
* a digestive system that works roughly the same in each (and thousands of other vertebrates)
* A nervous system, one heart, two lungs, etc.
* A reproductive system remarkably similar to the others
* The same respiratory needs, the same need to drink water, the same need to regulate body temperature, the same fight-or-flight response
How anybody ever falls for this cockamamie nonsense is just further proof that we didn't come from anywhere special and evolved from this here dirt like the rest of life on this planet.
And I for one am tired of being called closed-minded for calling utter bullshit what it is!
* Edit -- meant to underscore my main point, in what is the probability that one of those creatures (us) evolved like that on another planet and just happened to be *that* similar to Earth life?

Man walked on the moon in 1969 as well but why?
There's nothing up there so what a waste of time, expense and energy.
Thousands of lives could have been saved here on earth if that amount of money had been spent updating hospital equipment but no. we waste it spending it in space bollox.
Nothing to do with my point, but:
1. CAT scanner: this cancer-detecting technology was first used to find imperfections in space components.
2. Computer microchip: modern microchips descend from integrated circuits used in the Apollo Guidance Computer.
3. Cordless tools: power drills and vacuum cleaners use technology designed to drill for moon samples.
4. Ear thermometer: a camera-like lens that detects infrared energy we feel as heat was originally used to monitor the birth of stars.
5. Freeze-dried food: this reduces food weight and increases shelf life without sacrificing nutritional value.
6. Insulation: home insulation uses reflective material that protects spacecraft from radiation.
7. Invisible braces: teeth-straightening is less embarrassing thanks to transparent ceramic brace brackets made from spacecraft materials.
8. Joystick: this computer gaming device was first used on the Apollo Lunar Rover.
9. Memory foam: created for aircraft seats to soften landing, this foam, which returns to its original shape, is found in mattresses and shock absorbing helmets.
10. Satellite television: technology used to fix errors in spacecraft signals helps reduce scrambled pictures and sound in satellite television signals.
11. Scratch resistant lenses: astronaut helmet visor coating makes our spectacles ten times more scratch resistant.
12. Shoe insoles: athletic shoe companies adapted space boot designs to lessen impact by adding spring and ventilation.
13. Smoke detector: Nasa invented the first adjustable smoke detector with sensitivity levels to prevent false alarms.
14. Swimsuit: Nasa used the same principles that reduce drag in space to help create the world’s fastest swimsuit for Speedo, rejected by some professionals for giving an unfair advantage.
15. Water filter: domestic versions borrow a technique Nasa pioneered to kill bacteria in water taken into space.

Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
the guy is wrong in so many ways
Africans are fine in the sun.
Whites are the product of inbreeding but due to our migration to cooler climates and clothing the faulty gene was not a fatal flaw, infact give a slight advantage the cold dark places like Europe.
this shows evolution.
and we are the top of the food chains but not the most evolved.
not 100% what is, but Influenzas must be up there, evolving thousands of genetic changes in a single human life time.

we know for sure that the majority of our DNA is shared by rats (let alone other primates)
If it wasn't all those lab tests would be a bit pointless.
defintily wouldn't have been able to do things like grow human ears on rat backs etc
so Yeah we are PRETTY FUCKING SURE
cause we are literaslly using that knowledge to achieve what we are achieving
if it was wrong then what? the drugs we invented have been by pure luck?

Compared to cockroaches we are pretty weak. They have been around 300 million years, and will probably be around long after our species has died.

Re: Humans do NOT come from Earth
What a load of nonsense. I suppose the author hopes to make a fortune by selling his silly book. We now know that evolution was a fact, several species of early Man have been found, going back 3 to 4 million years, also there are approximately 30 million species of life on Planet Earth, many as Ben said above, having the same bodily composition and functions as we humans. I have a pet theory as how and why we evolved our brains to a self-aware being, capable of actions and thoughts, less animal-like and more human-like. I've yet to present that idea to a professor for consideration.
The Mars probes might find some very primitive life-cells but I doubt very much if they'll find anything remotely resembling us. Oh, excuse me, an Alien has knocked on the door begging for a cuppa. Bye for now.
