Everyone has their own belief system which also includes where did or how man came to be here. Many believe in the evolutionary process; others in creationism. Me, I consider some aspects of both to be true. So, what does that make me then? Is it logical to have more than one belief systems?
Evolution of Man
Lets begin by saying this: anything that is from or of this planet will share the same basic elements that are found in DNA. This is probably why most scientists conclude that Man evolved from apes/chimpanzees. For far too long they've been fixated on what is similar between the two or more species rather than wondering about the 1-2% difference which separates them. So, where does this difference come from?
Man: older than previous thought
There have been a string of recent research and findings that show Modern Man to be much older than previously thought. In this particular article a startling new finding indicates that Modern Man may have originated from Israel and not Africa. And there are still more out there waiting to be discovered like the possible site in the Persian Gulf. Scientists keep uncovering evidence that shows Modern Man to be much older than previously thought as well as being far more advanced hundreds of thousands of years ago when they should be more primitive. More definitive physical evidence and clues to the true origination of Man may likely be still buried deep underground or in the oceans which may never be discovered.
My theory?
Scientists have so far discovered that there are many different types of hominid species, but have not been able (at this time) to show definitively that Man did indeed come from the same gene pool as the primates.
My theory is this: I believe there were species similar to primates and other hominids who shared the same gene pool because they originated/emerged from Earth; but when Modern Man arrived (quite suddenly it seemed; possible theories are related to Creationism and Ancient Alien/Astronaut Theory) they (some) interbred with the dominant hominid species which was why scientific results show Modern Man sharing similar DNA information as the native hominids/primates. Sounds crazy? Perhaps. It would explain the differences in the development of various hominid species, and why the first civilizations seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps scientists should take a closer look at the 1-2% difference on our DNAs for I believe the answer lies there.
Does it matter that we know where we really came from? What do you think?
