"Exogenesis is a milestone in understanding our past." —Erich von Däniken, author of Chariots of the Gods
Exogenesis: the hypothesis that life originated elsewhere in the universe and was spread to Earth.
Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans offers a deep dive into the strongest ever scientific evidence that supports the popular belief that Earth has been visited in prehistory, but goes even further, concluding that there is also compelling evidence of alien involvement with the human genome. The broader history of possible extraterrestrial contact is explored alongside a look at current events in the subject of alien disclosure with the result of highlighting evidence of a contact continuum that has continued since the dawn of humanity. The data brought together suggests that the next stage in human evolution may involve the manifestation of full open contact with the visitors in our lifetimes.
Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans explores: An ancient sacred Aboriginal artifact Wreckage from a huge colony ship gets identified along with associated NASA studies concluding it is a material found in only one place on Earth Genetic engineering of Homo sapiens from an early hominin species is confirmed with a lengthy list of DNA anomalies only explainable by humans being an alien ‘hybrid’ creation The recent NASA sea change with certain academics calling for serious study of UFOs and other anomalous phenomena The theory that an extraterrestrial modified retrovirus was used to deliver some of the genetic information into the upgraded humans

Fenton has earned the respect of his peers and made a name for himself in the research fields of ancient mysteries and human consciousness. A world traveler and public speaker, Fenton’s research activities have also been featured in the UK’s Telegraph Newspaper. He was recently honored to receive an invitation to appear as a guest presenter on a popular Science Channel show.
Fenton is a current member of both the Palaeoanthropology Society and the Scientific and Medical Network. Working closely with the team at ForgottenOrigin.com he continues to transform the current understanding of our shared origins.
The hypothesis of this book is that life on Earth is originally extraterrestrial, and then that humans were engineered. It is a clearly written book, very easy to follow the reasoning of the authors. Unlike many of the books in this “ancient astronaut” or “alternative history” field, it is well researched. But it is not perfect, and by no means a definitive or perfectly scientific proof of their hypotheses. They do have strong support for most of their ideas, but also some weaknesses that at the minimal need more proof, and definitely means the ideas cannot be called theories. I stated that the text is well researched, but in many cases the evidence is one web site article, or one interview from a non peer reviewed source. (Of course this research is tough to get in peer reviewed sources so is somewhat of a catch-22.) However those, one bit at a time, as well as much of the mid chapters using mainly the Alcheringa text would be considered anecdotal, or as a sample number of one. The authors did combat this weakness to varying degrees of success depending on the chapter. Early they did do a good job establishing that there is a lot of aerial phenomenon and psychic abilities that are unexplained. Some of the psychic abilities were shown in properly controlled experiments. The authors also do a good job reminding the readers a lot of what we think are assumptions, such as aliens would have similar technology to ours, and/or would be carbon based, and/or would have never previously visited to name three major ones. The Earth being seeded does have outside evidence. Yes, asteroids and comets can carry organic molecules, and organic molecules have been discovered elsewhere. But the authors ignore the Miller-Urey experiment where those molecules were created in a proto-Earth environment. The strangeness of octopi was another proof they used, and yes, they are different, but not so different to be classified in their own phylum. They are classified, or linked, to every other mollusc. Then the authors move into the story of alien ambush, crashing and surviving, based in the Alcheringa text. Three problems have to be overcome: 1. The story sounds like something out of a science fiction movie with a Federation, warring species, etc (though the authors would say, perhaps correctly, the science fiction is preparing us for the truth of this story); and 2. There is only one basis, the Alcheringa text; and 3. The story is not consistent with the other major origin hypothesis of the Anunnaki coming to mine gold, and engineering humans as a result. For problem 2, the authors do a very good job with multiple lines of evidence: geography, tetktites, poleshifts, to show the incident the text says happened 780,000 years ago could yes have in fact happened then. This is a very strong point of the book. Chapter 12 began what I was mostly interested in: the potential genetic and biological evidence for their hypothesis. And this chapter was one of the best defenses of this alien intervention hypotheses that I have seen (and I have seen and commented on quite a few). Its science is correct. There are many HARs. Many are involved in brain development. Most would be in control regions. For one he shows how it would be statistically impossible for the number of mutations to occur naturally. But what about the others? FoxP2 for example is only 2 mutations. The authors later correctly identify this as an HAR, but except for time of the sequence changes, do not attempt the same statistical defense. Or the other 100+, are they all statistically impossible? Using one could be sampling error; picking the one that proves the hypothesis. So that is a problem. A lack of proper referencing in general; a lack of peer reviewed genetic research is also a problem. At least the Scientific American a few years ago on HARs would have been better. The other main proof the low diversity is okay, but even the author admits this could be due to low starting population (we call this genetic drift, or a bottleneck.) It only supports a low population; anything else is speculation not supported by that data. And we know there are bottlenecks in human population history, from events such as Ice Ages and the Flood. One more strength is that most dates match the dates above, except maybe the Denisovan split, which I have before 780,000 years ago; in Reich’s well written book (and he is an evolutionary geneticist with his work peer reviewed), he has the Denisovans split from modern and Neanderthal between 1 million and 800,000 years ago, a little too early to support this hypothesis, and much too late to be the authors’ hypothesized first engineering. The next evidence, the chromosome 2 fusion has the same strengths and weaknesses. The event is timed correctly for their hypothesis. But the date from Reich makes the Denisovan part a problem. Also the idea that this event would not occur naturally is potentially incorrect on two counts: 1, it is a fusion at the centromeres, which are highly conserved, so a fusion/recombination event would occur at such similar sequences, and 2, telomeres protect ends from replication loss, not from recombination events (in fact telomeres are also highly conserved, so if there were more sequence, they would probably recombine too, which could have happened here, the telomeres of the two ape chromosomes recombined.) Further, I could not find the evidence the authors use for their idea with the recombination frequencies and base substitutions in PubMed, nor could I access the website in the references to check them myself. This calls into question if the assumptions and calculations his source used to get those dates are correct (otherwise such an important paper would be peer reviewed and published, as Reich’s and others work using similar calculations and assumptions are). Since no genetic material was lost, (the authors admit this) they are incorrect in suggesting this aberration, like most others, would disappear. A few other notes: What is the concurrent mutation to allow this to persist as hinted at on p 171? The gene editing technology is a good point. P 178, interbreed would not have been an H.sapiens first; it would have been a sapiens, erectus hybrid. Further hybrid breedings gets to more pure H.sapiens. Ch 14 is are excellent, and well supported, especially the human reproductive problems and that a potential major reason for societal structures. ( I in fact have the same Lents reference ready to use). Ch 15 brings up some good points about potential ecological disaster and the need for human help. I ask again where is the story of the Anunnaki, who hypothetically came to Earth to save themselves from an ecological disaster? There likely is the first parallel the authors need for the ecology proof (if this hypothesis of alien intervention can also be substantiated.) The authors accomplish their main goal: a scientific discussion of the evidence for alien intervention in general and in creating humans more specifically. They present a lot of consistent observations, and unlike many others in this field, do not over interpret the data. However, the goal of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is not met, (they even suggest this in the ch 15) but it is the closest and best thought out yet. Note: review and critique written by a PhD Cell and Molecular Biologist, writing as I would a peer review for a scientific article. So yes there is at least one academic giving your ideas a fair hearing. I am willing to discuss these ideas and future angles for research with them or anyone else who is interested.
To say the Fentons are presenting a paradigm shift in the way we must view humanity and its evolution would be an understatement, but it is purposeful that such discussions take place. It is only then that a clearer understanding of humanity’s true origins can be achieved.
I recommend “Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans” to anyone seeking to fill in the gaps of their own scientific study of the connection between extraterrestrial biological entities and humanity, and to explore different avenues of available information to learn more about who we are as a species.
In our attenuated times, there’s been an unconscious linkage formed between the scientific method and materialism. Prising apart this assumed automatic connection will be vital, if we are to survive and thrive as a species against the backdrop of the ongoing mass extinction event, insect die-off and the bottom-up trophic cascade.
Ensuring that an hypothesis has a potential negative result doesn’t necessarily mean that falsifiability is generated via an outcome conforming to the fiction of material reductionism. At base, this is what Bruce and Daniella Fenton set out to explore in the case of the often derided ancient aliens hypothesis in their most recent book Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans: A Scientific History of Extraterrestrial Genetic Manipulation.
I had the same feeling reading Exogenesis as I did when reading Graham Hancock’s Magicians of the Gods a few years ago: a hidden pre-history (in this case, much deeper into the past) is hiding in plain sight but finally now being carefully revealed thanks to diligent work from outside the academy.
The Fentons deploy a triangulating approach, coming at the evidence of alien contact in ancient times from a variety of angles, some relatively speculative, while others appear to be the only plausible explanatory pathway. I doubt the authors would want to claim they are certain of being correct with every claim (this would go against falsifiability and be bad science), but I do think they are likely to be correct in general terms. Rather than wild conspiracy theory, as with Hancock, they piece together credentialled research that currently lies in silos, preventing the required dot-joining that helps us understand how we arrived to this moment.
Reading the book helped me understand why disclosure is so problematic and fraught with issues for those in the know and is being distributed incrementally. The issue is not really that the earth has been visited by aliens and that there is overwhelming evidence to support this (the inexplicable 5% of UFO cases now includes evidence and testimony from within the US military industrial complex), it’s rather that homo sapiens as a species is likely to be a creation by alien intelligence some 780,000 years ago.
Genetic manipulation appears to be the only statistically likely explanation of why non-coding genes and gene expression switching changed so rapidly to enable the developing of the pre-frontal cortex and language ability in that timeline.
I doubt as a species, we are quite ready to absorb this information without having a collective allergic reaction. It turns out the creationists and the evolutionists may be both partly right and partly wrong. I also doubt we are quite ready for the challenge to the standard evolutionary paradigm (which doesn’t really explain the Cambrian explosion of diversity) which comes from panspermia and horizontal gene transfer via viruses which are extra-terrestrial in origin.
Nor will many find palatable the theory that the Australasian tektite strewn field — which does not have an impact crater — is the remains of an advanced spacecraft that had its own intelligence that was destroyed by a rival alien enemy force.
My sense however is that the resistance to this new paradigm of explaining the human origin story and our place in a cosmos full of far more powerful intelligent “life” will incrementally change as this decade progresses, and Exogenesis is a significant landmark along the way.
The book closes with the thought that we now require a more evolved intelligence at this stage in order for our earth to thrive once again. It’s likely that other earths destroyed themselves as they attempted to transition along the Kardashev scale of planetary civilisation and that external intervention will now be required (and is perhaps already in play).
Please may they come and help us, as we have gone astray in our greed and consumerism and have almost fatally wounded our home.
Good opening. Was into it, but then several chapters seemed to be devoted to recapping or expanding upon Valerie Barrow's experiences as described in her ALCHERINGA book. I was expecting more tangible evidence to support Fenton's theories. I don't want to discount shamanic or dream-like encounters with other beings. It just wasn't what I was hoping for with this book. Last 60 pages were the best, though. More rooted in that tangible evidence I was expecting.
A fun, shockingly well-written book that provided plenty of UFO highlights and a curated bibliography with fascinating jumping-off points for googling (tektites being the most memorable). Disregard the silly cover. This one’s a keeper.
This book is a good introduction to the panspermia theory. But you need to be acquainted with the whole extraterrestrial life subject. For example: alien life presence, UFO sighting and alien abduction.
"Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans: A Scientific History of Extraterrestrial Genetic Manipulation" by Bruce Fenton is a captivating journey into the fascinating realm of extraterrestrial genetic manipulation. This thought-provoking book offers a unique perspective on human evolution and raises intriguing questions about our origins.
The author skillfully weaves together scientific research, historical evidence, and speculative theories to build a compelling narrative. Throughout the book, readers are presented with compelling evidence and thought-provoking anecdotes that challenge conventional beliefs about human development. It's an engaging read that encourages you to ponder the possibility of alien influence on our genetic makeup.
One of the book's strengths is its ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible to a general audience. The author breaks down intricate ideas into digestible explanations, ensuring that readers with varying levels of scientific knowledge can engage with the material. This makes "Exogenesis" an intriguing read for both science enthusiasts and those simply curious about our place in the universe.
While the book provides a thought-provoking exploration of its subject matter, it's important to remember that some of the theories and claims presented are speculative in nature. It encourages readers to consider alternate possibilities for human evolution, but it doesn't provide definitive proof of extraterrestrial genetic manipulation. This makes it an intriguing conversation starter but not a conclusive scientific work.
In summary, "Exogenesis: Hybrid Humans" offers an intellectually stimulating and captivating exploration of extraterrestrial genetic manipulation. It challenges our understanding of human evolution and raises intriguing questions about the potential influence of aliens on our genetic makeup. While it doesn't provide concrete answers, it's a thought-provoking and enjoyable read that will leave you contemplating the mysteries of our existence.
An excellent work combining first hand experiences, documented research, and a large number of references for people interested to further look into. A great case is made here and I hope it inspires more scientists to look to get into related fields and see what else they can find. I was pleased to see a reference to Barbara Marciniak. I’ve read some of her work and I find her compelling to say the least. I wish more people would learn about the art of channeling, channelers, and their messages as I feel it’s stage one of direct contact and should get more attention than it currently does. I also enjoyed Bruce’s Alice in Wonderland reference. Our world is far more mysterious than we give it credit for. Some people are content to slap a label on something so that they can fit it in a “box of comprehension” and tuck it away in a mental cabinet so that they don’t have to truly look at and think about it with an open mind. We didn’t come here to be complacent and comfortable... we came here to learn and experience. You learn nothing by labeling something or someone for that matter. Things, ideas, concepts, and people are multi-faceted. Science, religion, politics, etc are all an inter-related web. You cannot pull on one strand without affecting the others. I hope we see more books like this and that we develop more inter-related areas of study to further our understanding of ourselves and why we are here. Thank you To Bruce & Daniella for your efforts!

Was really excited to read this and I wasn't disappointed when I finished the book. There is a lot of questionable evidence presented here that most people will dismiss, but that I think could use consideration and an open mind if you're into this subject matter. The book gets quite scientific at times, specifically, the parts where Fenton will go into DNA, chromosome and genetic anomalies within the human being. However, this is the part of Exogenesis that I think bears the most solid evidence, especially when compared to the genetic make up of our closest primate relative the chimpanzee. The author does a good job of providing new material for the ancient astronauts theory. Fans of the history channel will dig this.
This book brings a lot of newly discovered data, which the authors then synthesizes into a well-crafted theory and argument for historic alien intervention. That was what excited me the most, that the arguments often built on finds from the last few years. The story paints a big picture and places us, humananity, into a coherent historical perspective where aliens tampered with prehuman DNA. The authors perspective also includes a spiritual view on the alien phenomena. Watched from this point of view, a lot of the wierd anomalies, including reoccuring themes in the accounts from alien abductees, makes total sense. The book is a wild ride.
This was pretty bad. I do like some alien conspiracy theories from time to time, some are just almost comedic, some are pretty believable, but until I see some solid proof I won't be convinced. This had a bit of both, but the way it was presented made it fairly incomprehensible. It's like the author was in some kind of mental episode and was just rambling on, jumping from one topic to another. When I spaced out for a few seconds, sometimes I had no idea how we got to that point. I wouldn't recommend, even for alien enthusiasts.
If you are at all interested in the development of our planet and the humans who live here, please read this book. As a planet we are in dire straits to improve our living condition and help our world perhaps survive complete devastation. It’s not science fiction, but science fact. A little difficult to read in some places but muddle thru. It’s worth it.
A very interesting book, but the authors err by claiming that channeling, visions, dreams, and hypnotic regression of abductions and past lives constitute objective scientific evidence. They do not. Accordingly, the book presents interesting theories, but scant reliable evidence is presented in support.
