Humans are not from Earth Quotes

“In the early 20th century the need to find this missing link became so desperate that an elaborate hoax was created. Piltdown Man (“discovered” in 1912) was believed to be genuine for over 40 years. In fact is was faked using a Medieval human skull, the jaw bone of an orangutan and fossilized teeth from a chimpanzee, and then “aged” by soaking it in acid and staining it with an iron solution.”

“Vitamin D is fat-soluble. If you’re overweight, your excess fat will soak up vitamin D and your body won’t get enough. You need a lot more of it than a slim person. The same thing applies if you have a digestive condition such as Crohn’s disease, gluten sensitivity or an inflamed bowel. In this case, your body might not be able to digest the fat that contains the vitamin D.”

“Kanzi, a bonobo who uses a board covered in symbols to talk to researchers. He’s even invented his own symbol combinations so he can express his thoughts. Another example is Koko, a western lowland gorilla who understands about 2,000 spoken words and can use sign language to communicate more than 1,000.”

“We’ve already noted that we can’t detect natural disasters on Earth, but many native creatures can. From this, we can conclude that our home planet probably doesn’t have any natural disasters. This is easy enough to explain: if the crust is one solid piece, as it is on Mars, rather than separate plates, as it is on Earth, there won’t be any earthquakes or tsunamis. Without seasons, there’s nothing to”

“seasons means no growing season and no harvesting season. Plants’ growth might not be synchronized with the planet, the weather, or other plants – even those of the same species. They might all grow and ripen in their own time. That would, of course, make fertilization extremely difficult. It’s likely that the plants have evolved some other mechanism for fertilization. They might also have evolved their own form of synchronization, perhaps using pheromones, so that all the plants of the same species grow and ripen at the same time.”

“many of us have tremendous difficulty finding our way around unfamiliar areas without signs, maps, compasses, satellites or spoken directions. If we were at sea or in the middle of a desert, and we had none of those things to guide us, and there were no landmarks in sight, and we couldn’t see the sky, and we lost our bearings, we’d be hopelessly lost. This would have been a serious problem in the past: thousands and thousands of people must have died.”

“the amount of time it takes to reach the Earth from these stars will be greater if the aliens can’t travel at near light speed. If they can only travel at half light speed then it would take them 44 years to get from Tau Ceti, for example. If they can only travel at one-tenth light speed then only Alpha Centauri A and B would realistically be within range – and the aliens would have to come from a planet orbiting one of those stars too.”
