Maybe question itself could in fact explain the advancements of the human race just in the last 100 years.

No, at least not in the sense of extraterrestial aliens. The advancements of the human race in the last 100 years is due to changing attitudes toward independent thought, as well as the development of capitalism. Such ideals can be considered alien to the ways of the past, and in that sense, the men who espoused these views could be considered "aliens" in relation to their predecessor.

But that is stretching the definition of the word quite far, and in the contemporary sense of the word, to suggest that some humans are "aliens" is the most ridiculous and nonsensical thing I have ever seen.

If they are humans in the human race, they cannot be aliens since you already stipulated them to be human.

Ya, the advancments of the human race in the last 100 years requires, not reference to human capacities for knowledge, but reference to aliens, because there is so much evidence that aliens exist, and that they exist on earth, and that they cause advancements in human civilization.

In fact, I think that the ability to even explian the advancements of human civilization is itself a form of advancement in civilization. And since it is aliens, not human ingenuity, that causes advancement in civilization, I must be an alien!

Alien? Not among the humans, but I swear cockroaches are!

Mankind's advances into technology can be explained much simpler than to blame it on the extra-terrestrials; a dominate species on the third planet that they call the very unimaginative, although descriptive, name of Earth, circling a star they named Sol, are so basically warlike that they developed many things in their quest to produce bigger and better 'smart weapons' to kill their neighbors. But then, that's just my opinion.

A more conclusive report will be sent via the next transmission, I have to go free from their containers more of our almost indestructible information gatherers, so they can infiltrate wherever these inhabitants of the third planet gather and consume food. Additional: the subjects under observation have a tendency to talk of everything to everyone in the immediate vicinity during the consumption of nutritional items.

Considering that, had a large asteroid not hit Earth some 65 million years ago, Humans would probably not have evolved, what makes you think that aliens could even look like us, and not some reptilian life form, or an intelligent salamander, for instance. They would be very easy to spot then, wouldn't they? Or are you of the Star Trek persuasion, that most aliens look like us, but with nose ridges?

Interesting question.

Maybe not aliens, because why would it benefit them to help us become more technological? It would benefit them much more if we became more moral and compassionate.

BUT

I often wondered if wise souls were sent back to earth, like a reincarnation. Wise, intelligent souls. Maybe to teach us on a higher spirtual level but at the same time, they know greater things that we did not yet know.

No. Why should advanced sentient beings with the technology and culture to get here in the first place want to debase themselves by living amongst stupid, barbaric animals?

If you were a biologist studying naked mole rats, would you want to become one of them in order to learn why they eat their own feces, and perhaps to help them with their social development while you were enjoying your meals?

You seem to think that anything we have done, particularly in the past 100 years, is somehow significant. It isn't. There's no need to invoke aliens in order to explain the activities of primitive, self-destructive apes.

Umm......hate to wreck your little wagon pal, but humanity is in devolution, don't know where you got it from that we're "advancing". Unnatural forced integration is driving disparate races and tribes together despite the fact that all violent crime increases disproportionately when that's done. Your grandchildren will inherit an ungodly mess that cannot be sustained. Given natural freedom all mankind segregates itself to it's own kind. Better look with your own eyes instead of those of others whose motives you're apparently not aware of.

It could very well be. I heard that in some cave findings that there are wall drawings of People with Halos, some say these Halos might represent helmets, and I've hear that when Moses was leading his people, they followed a column of smoke by day, which was a column of fire by night, some say they could have been rockets. Whose to say that early man could'nt have bred with aliens?

Anything may be possible, but is it likely?

What evidence, genetically, would indicate that some "humans" are not human at all?

It's a hard sell. Maybe you could ask again with more specifics.

Peace,
