The Genesis Race: Our Extraterrestrial DNA and the True Origins of the Species

Rate this book

For millennia Homo sapiens—the species that emerged after the demise of the Neanderthals—existed throughout the world as hunter-gatherers in small, cooperative social groups. Then suddenly, around 3000 B.C.E., the first of six great civilizations sprang up around the globe. All of them told creation myths in which gods came down to Earth, fashioned humans in their own image, and then taught them the arts of agriculture and civilized life. In addition, all these cultures—established in Egypt, Sumer, Peru, Mexico, China, and the Indus Valley--created mammoth pyramids, though science has never been able to explain how or where they obtained the advanced technological knowledge to construct these edifices. The abrupt appearance of these civilizations and the similarities of their development call into question the Darwinian theory of evolution—for there exists no trace of an intermediate Homo sapiens between these advanced people and the hunter-gatherer peoples who preceded them and who continued to live in other parts of the world as they had for thousands of years.

Now, using the most current research on DNA, Will Hart shows that these gods were actually visitors from other worlds who genetically engineered modern humanity from the beings that then inhabited the planet. He also suggests that the Bible and other creation stories have been interpreted falsely as myth when they should have been read as history. The structures left by our ancestors were designed in accordance with precise astronomical and geodetic alignments to make them visible from outer space and to survive for thousands of years with the intent of communicating information relating to physical and temporal events. Humanity’s current stage of development has finally reached the point where the secret messages of these structures can be decoded to reveal the fate of humanity in the coming Earth changes.

I am journalist, author, photographer, content provider. My articles have appeared in such magazines as Atlantis Rising, New Dawn, Wild West, Sierra Heritage, UFO, and Nexus, all hard copy periodicals.

Happy to announce the publication of Alien Civilizations, now 9/28/15 available on Amazon.

My work has been widely distributed on the Internet on a wide range of websites. In addition, I have written syndicated articles for newspapers and a regular column for a local paper in the Lake Tahoe region.

Moreover, my first book 'The Genesis Race -Our Extraterrestrial DNA' was published by Inner Traditions. My second book the series, 'Cosmic Ancestry', will also be published by IT.

Another book whose main hypothesis was that humans were visited and helped by ETs in the distant past. Yet another book with DNA in the title, but next to nothing on DNA and biological intervention, except maybe for agricultural crops. Please, authors, stop putting DNA in your titles when the bulk of the book is about monuments, myths, and cultural advances.
This book in particular, like many others I have read on the topic, does a very good job showing that multiple early civilizations have similar creation stories. It does a good but little speculative job of showing how many cultural, agricultural, and technology events do not fit a neat timeline. But many times the argument is circular: as in, the society could not develop "agriculture" alone because they could not learn fast enough was defended by they could not learn fast enough so the knowledge of "agriculture" had to come from outside. These circular reasons were prominent in most cases.
Maybe because of the date, 2003, some of the actual science in the book is incomplete or incorrect, or the concept is misunderstood by the author. On p 26, his definitions of macro and micro evolution are not quite correct: micro is DNA level and macro is evolution due to big events, not species to species necessarily as the author writes. Also p27, he says he is not correct in assuming that the number of genes correlates to complexity. On p 28-29, the lack of fossils does not necessarily mean the missing steps did not occur; fossil formation needs particular conditions perhaps missing at time points, and to the date, some of those fossils are now found. I wonder if that would change the author's thesis any. p30, incorrect, reptiles did lead to birds. p32, potential false assumption on flowering plants being less efficient; they are perhaps more, or else they would not be the dominant type, (there is more to their success than reproduction.) p36, another questionable assumption on one tree means "design." Could also mean only one other event, like only one panspermia. similar false assumption on p38. Though I do tend to agree that the complexity does argue against randomness. I do also agree that Darwinian evolution cannot be used for culture, but not for his reasons. Because it was never meant to. It is a mechanism to explain inherited biological traits; unless culture caused selection of certain alleles, it is in appropriate. And then makes Darwinian for culture incorrect still, because then one must accept the alternative hypothesis that selection can be forced onto genes. I'll put my disclaimer here: the reviewer has a PhD in cell and molecular, and hopes the author takes the critiques positively and not as a slight to his research or writing ability.
The mythology, paralleling of civilizations was clear and researched well. The parallels were striking.
Overall, good thinking material. One of the more clearly written cases for this hypothesis. Can only give it three stars though because of the number of poor assumptions/science, and number of circular reasonings.

Interesting reading

Hart quotes lots of facts. A good book with information to think about. I would recommend for another way to view our world and existence.

Тотално извън зоната ми на комфорт като тема, но исках да дам шанс. Не ме грабна, не ме накара особено да се замисля. На моменти даже беше излишно и натрапчиво детайлна.
