The Hidden History Of The Human Origin | Episode 1 | The Missing Link

The origin of the human race has probably been one of the most debated issues in our history as well as in evolutionary biology over the last few decades and controversy about the origin of human beings continues to rage even today, nearly 150 years after the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. So where did humans come from? Creationism and evolution are two popular theories of how humankind came to be. Advocates of the "creationism" perspective continue to argue that the biblical story of creation - in which we were created in an instant by a God - is as viable and as valid as the evolutionary perspective while scientists largely assume that the argument should be over and that the evolutionary explanation is supported by scientific evidence. As we unravel more mysteries from our past, more questions to be answered. Does the theory of evolution best explain where life came from? Homo sapiens is an evolving species, but some researchers speculated that DNA shows “unmistakable signs of planning” that evolution alone cannot explain. Highly intelligent humans seemed to appear almost overnight about 200,000 years ago. So, how did we progress so quickly from primitive apes to highly advanced beings? Is it possible that another species deliberately manipulated our genetic code? Every day more and more physicists, anthropologists, geneticists, and historians are pushing the boundaries of accepted theories suggesting that extra-terrestrials indeed influenced mankind. Perhaps their impact is even more powerful. As genetic engineering continues to evolve from discovering DNA to sequencing the human genome to cloning animals and even genetically modifying human embryos, we should ask ourselves, are we “playing God” or maybe are we “playing alien”? So, if you’re among those people who wonder what would be the possibility that a more intelligent life form played a role in developing our DNA, stay tuned as we’d like to share with you some of the remarkable discoveries being discussed in the scientific community, so you can develop your own opinion about if our genetic makeup is more than just a random hand of cards.
