Chromosomes:

Humans 46 Primates 48

What a difference two chromosomes makes! 

My deep background research for Seeds of Heaven uncovered an interesting possibility in the world of genetic engineering.  It is probably technically feasible today to create clones of any living thing.  Yet these clones are not true clones in that they lack the viability of their parent organism. They are unstable and don’t live very long. This niche science is still in its formative stages.

In Chapter 1 of Seeds of Heaven cloning is cited as being used to create a slave labor force.  Hister uses the technology to deliberately create disposable humanoids.  The Children of Light lead by the Progenitor rescue and work on the clones with technology to reverse Hister’s inhumane practice. 

In my first article in this series,The Third Evolutionary Paradigm, I suggest that Homo Sapiens were genetically engineered by an extraterrestrial expeditionary team who needed a workforce.

Humans possess 46 chromosomes, primates 48. Darwinian evolutionists theorize that in the evolution from a common ancestor, Homo Sapiens lost two chromosomes which primates retained.  Yet  the loss of two chromosomes in such a short time span would surely result in a major disaster befalling Homo Sapiens.  Two chromosomes represents massive amounts of DNA and RNA just disappearing.

The fact that there is this two chromosomes difference is not really the issue.  Instead the issue is time.

Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon and Homo Sapiens just suddenly appear out of nowhere with no real bridging species in the discovered fossil record.

Ape to Homo erectus works in the time frame required by Darwinian evolutionary theory.  This is demonstrated in the fossil record. 

Darwinian macroevolutionary theory begins to breaks down, beginning with Neanderthal to some extent, though not conclusively.  Where it really breaks down completely is with the sudden appearance of Cro-Magnon and Homo Sapiens.

As a novelist and artist – read generalist who doesn’t plan on leaving my brains at the door of any temple, religious or scientific (universities being temples of learning with very strict rules of behavior not foreign to that demanded by religious dogma) – I suggest the genetic science community look at and work with the human genome from a mind set of reverse engineering. 

The glaringly obvious answer to the 46/48 conundrum is that someone using advanced knowledge of genetic engineering consciously spliced off two chromosomes from the ape genome and voila we have Homo sapiens.  Not only did these individuals create Homo sapiens, but they deliberately programmed into the gene pool some 4000 genetic flaws to make sure they outlived their creations.  Clearly they were protecting themselves against the eventuality that their creations might get out of hand.

We wouldn’t want a revolution of the students against the teachers; the slave against the masters; the creation against the creator now would we?  One sidebar question for us today is -- how are we going to protect ourselves against our soon to be creations… the clones! 

Earlier I suggested that today’s geneticist should approach the human genome as a reverse engineering project, I say this because the Anunnaki, our creators,  must have a master key that unlocks the flawed chains.  In the literature at least four Homo sapiens were granted immortality – Enoch, Noah, Elijah, and Hercules. 

I recently watched an interesting example of how a technological limitation can maintain the upper hand for the owner of a more advanced device.

There was a point in time when the transition between the two ball pistol and the six shooting revolver was not well known.  In this fictional account the hero holds the villain at bay with his revolver.  The hero had fired two shots killing the villain’s attacking henchmen.  The villain smiles raising his pistol saying, “You now have no more shots,”the villain began to advance to get within range for his older technology.  The hero replies, “Drop your gun and surrender, I have four more shots, this is the latest six shooting revolver, look at my barrel.”

“Liar,” cried the villain continuing to advance.

Pow!  Reports the hero’s firearm, the villian drops dead on the spot.

The hero cries out to the rest of the villain’s henchman, “With whom do you stand?”

In unison the answer came, “We stand with the winner!”

An Astonishing Record of What Happened

Of all the ancient bodies of stories and myths, i.e. Celtic mythology, the Nordic Eddas and the Hindu Mahabarata the Sumerian body of information is the most reliable for a very good reason.

Ashurbanipal a great Assyrian ruler in Mesopotamia and probably the first archeologist and historian prided himself on his ability to read the “old languages.”  He collected vast quantities of ancient (even for him) material into a great library at Nineveh.  This material is intact and has not been corrupted.  Most of the material from Celtic mythology, the Nordic Eddas and the Hindu Mahabarata, was lost in antiquity and rediscovered and worked over by imaginative later writers and chroniclers who probably altered the material irrevocably. Only very penetrating and exhaustive research across archeological, paleontological and etymological disciplines will ever put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

The Sumerian records unique intact reliability gives us a window into the probable events and manner in which Homo Sapiens came to be created.

What we don’t know is whether the Anunnaki created Man from Homo erectus or Neanderthal.  It is possible that Neanderthal had already evolved from Homo erectus and the jumping off gene pool was Neanderthal.

The bas relief below suggest to me that Homo Erectus must have been the starting point from which Ea, the Assyrian god who “suggests the method of creating man, in response to the heavy workload of the Igigi” (cf.The Assyro-Babylonian Mythology FAQ) eventually got the prototype – Neanderthal.

From the point of view of a generalist, I would surmise that Homo Erectus, being closer to the animal world, would have engaged in sexual intercourse doggie style simply because that is what he/she would have had observed as normal.  There may be some anatomical reasons the rear entry procedure works best as well.

The Sumerian chroniclers note that the Anunnaki seemed to be amused that Homo Erectus had not discovered the missionary position.

Apparently, even though Ea and his team of genetic engineers knew they could eventually create the slave race they wanted, they made a lot of trial and error mistakes as evinced by the following record:

Men appeared with two wings, some with four and two faces.

They had one body but two heads, the one of a man, the other of a woman. They were likewise in their several organs both male and female

Delineations found at the temple of Belus at Babylon.

The above tells us a lot about the Anunnaki’s moral code, particularly Ea’s.  He seems unable to destroy his creations no matter how unsuccessful. This single bit of insight into his character will come in good stead for mankind eventually.  The Anunnaki were absolute scientists completely and utterly without a conscience apparently.

The vision of these gene splicing mistakes roaming the countryside, possibly all around the world, is remarkable and a bit chilling.  They were turned loose and allowed to survive or die as they might.  They didn’t survive ultimately but they likely had a terrible life while they lived,  and they lived long enough to be seen and immortalized.

In the mass of errors there must have been one notable near miss.  Neanderthal!  Neanderthal may have not been up to the standard Ea’s team wanted to achieve.  There is no detailed record of what actually did happen but it stands to reason from the fossil record that Neanderthal was successful as an entity.  Of all the errors this one managed to be viable in the environment, but did not seem to come up to snuff for Ea. So they kept trying.

Eventually, Ea’s team is successful to a point.  They get Cro-Magnon.  Here was a laborer with the intelligence to follow instructions and the capability to endure hard manual labor. But Cro-Magnon was still not as refined as Ea wanted.  Ea is the key here.  It is almost certain that Enlil,  the leader of the Expeditionary Group and his crew, which up to this point did the hard labor, must have been satisfied that they were now free to do more honorable tasks.  It is not clear that Enlil ordered Ea to bring his project to a halt.  Enlil may have thought Ea would just be satisfied that he accomplished the original goal.  But Ea, ever the perfectionist, must have become very enthusiastic and confident in his ability.  He took another step.  The final step that created Homo Sapiens.

Mix to a core the clay from the Basement of Earth, just above the Abzu­ and shape it into the form of a core.

I shall provide good, knowing young gods who will bring that clay to the right condition.

Once Ea got the right creature with which to work, he now ordered his sister Ninhursag to perform the above process.  He now wanted to splice Anunnaki genes into the Cro-Magnon genes.  He must have had an clear and definite vision of what would happen.

I interpret the above Sumerian text like this – the Abzu is the place.  South Africa was Ea’s headquarters.  There seems to have been a gold mining operation down there and his laboratories were located in proximity of the mines.  Cro-Magnon was created and housed there.  His prize creation Cro-Magnon was the clay from the Basement of Earth and Cro-Magnon’s genome was the core.  Ea now was going to splice or graft the genes of good, knowing young gods who will bring that clay to the right condition… he may have even included his own, since his later actions demonstrates he had very compelling reasons to save Homo Sapiens from extinction.

The following is Ea’s crowning achievement in his own words:

"I will prepare a purifying bath. Let one god be bled....

From his flesh and blood, let Ninti mix the clay."

Ninki, my goddess-spouse, will be the one for labor. Seven goddesses-of-birth will be near, to assist.

Ninti will fix upon it the image of the gods; And what it will be is "Man."
