what is our missing link?

Question

isn't scientists saying that we share something like 97% of identical dna to chimps. So evolution has done a lot. But where im confused is the brains we have. How did we get this brain, that we use so little of.

My theory is that what so called " abductees" are talking about; cross breading species. Highly evolved species giving small amounts of their characteristics to a primitive man. Maybe in possible hope to save their own species. Maybe they have no home, blood lines are getting smaller. And were their experiment.

Its all just theory, I just hope the animals in us, wont destroy us

I admit that this is weird and maybe ive been watching too much tv. We are still evolving but humans as we are now are the practically the same as to what we were like10,000 years ago. just thinking maybe we came from the primitive Neanderthals that were given brains. Maybe they(et) needed a work force on this planet to serve them. it could give an explanation to adam and eve(i dont believe this) or could jesus be more like them( but he clamed we all could do what he did). not trying to offend anyone. If you agree or disagree say something but u dont need to be an a$$ about it. if you cant say something nice than dont say anything at all, right

Answer 1

We do coexsist with other beings who are more like observers and manipulators. I challenge you to this as I did by accident. I observed Troll-like beings and Nome-like beings at the same time, together as a group, who were folowing me through the woods in the Pisgah National Forrest in western North Carolina. This happened more than ten years ago as I was camping deep in the woods with three friends. It was mid summer, I had to let my buddies know I would meet them at our campsite because I was running late from leaving work. I parked my car at a scenic overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway and started the four mile trek through the woods at 11:00 pm in the near-absolute darkness, with an eight cell Mag light. Because of certain critters that could be disturbed by walking up on - as they are bedded down, such as deer or a bear, I only used the flashlight when absolutely needed.
The hike only takes about an hour in a bee-line, off of the trail.
As I was approching my friends,however still quite a distance away from them, well before I could see the glow of an enormous campfire. I had disturbed something standing close by in front of me, as if I had statled it, as it startled me at the same time. I did not turn on my flashlight at this point, thinking it was mearley a opossum or some small animal. I stopped walking so briskly to let the the initial startle settle. As I continued on, there is a dense patch of rhodedendrons of at least 20 square acres. Our campsite is on the other side. As I was making my way through them, nearly halfway, I was starteling more of these small animals that would run away only 20 to 25 yards from me and stop. Then continue to scamper to keep that same distance of 20 yards. The number of creatures scampering away grew in numbers. This when the hair stood up on my neck when the numbers of them grew to estimate probably 50 or so. I knelt down on one knee focusing my ear in a direction of the scampering, though the scampering was surrounding me by now. When rhe rustling of running stopped I switched on my Flashlight in the direction of my focus. As I was looking down the beam of light like a gunsight. All I could make out was dence rhodedendron. I thought to myself how strange for the rhodedendron to be so dence that low to the ground. I stayed fixated in same spot the light first shined. As I studied the laurels, the appearence of bodied figures became apparent. Short and huskey. No more than three feet tall. Squared torsos with legs only a few inches long. Lankey arms without shoulders, no neck with a head like dome as wide as the torso maybe two feet wide. They were well adapted to the features of laural foliage. like a comoglage. I sat there studying these creatures standing, facing me, for a good minute and a half. I notice a nook in the trunk of one the laurals; where the trunk branches, When I got spooked. Absolutley freightened at a sight. An albino human-like creature peering at me through the branch of the trunk. It had a very narrow face,the whole head elongated with very blonde hair. Boy-ish looking only a foot and a half, or so tall. It had very small, beady eyes ans lips that looked puckered. With the sight of that, I stood up at a full out run, as fast as I could toward the campsite. I got to the fire to find my three friends. They could tell I was frieghtened of something. It was very difficult to explain to them what I just saw. It took me all night of interigation to explain. A week later. One of the friends named Lewis, said he beleives what I saw and that I should keep it to myself. Later he gave me a book of short stories written by H.P. Lovecraft. I know I can not be the only person to have seen these "things".
What was your question? Something about aliens?

Answer 2

We don't have one. Humans are one of a kind, if we DID evolve from monkeys and apes - why do they still exist? Evolution tells you "Survival of the fittest" - this means only the organism best adapted will survive... so, if you look as humans and primates - and if we DID evolve from them:- Why are they so primate? And us so advanced? Why is it that if we were the best adapted to survive and that they are still around?

Another thing is that primates may share the same DNA - but so do all other living things. ALL DNA is able to be put into other animals (scientific experiments used to do this. E.g.: Cloning). You've used the wrong word - you should have said GENES or CHROMOSOMES... but even still, you'd be wrong because humans have a different number of genes in comparism to primates.

At this stage, no one can be sure about the human brain because it is complex. No one knows everything about it, and it's hard work even studying it. At the moment, there are many assumptions rather than FACTS - if people say we only use 10% of our brain, then why is it we have a large brain which takes up so much space in our skulls? Why have something that we're not going to use all of? Common sense my friend, - we just haven’t understood ourselves and our minds properly.

"The animal in us", is more of a psychological issue rather than a cross breeding program. Everyone has a savage/animal side to them - that’s what counts us under the Animal Kingdom as mammals... The whole cross breeding thing is just science fiction and fear.

Answer 3

We don't use "so little" of our brain, that's an urban legend. We use almost our whole brain. As expensive as the brain is,m do you really think evolution wi\ould bring about somethign that big and then use 10% of it?

As for abductees, there is no such thing. Did you ever notice that the first claim of abduction came within weeks of a sci-fi movie on TV in the 50's depicting that very idea?

"Skeptics argue that the raw details of abduction accounts have been featured in science fiction since at least the 1930s, and that these details have had widespread currency, thereby influencing and shaping expectations of what an encounter with extraterrestrials might entail. For example, a 1935 issue of Amazing Stories featured on its cover an illustration of a being with large eyes and a large head who was restraining a human from entering a room where another human was reclined on a table with another large-eyed creature examining her. [10] See Rogerson's four-part article, and Martin Kottmeyer's "Entirely Unpredisposed" in external links"

Answer 4

You mean, "Where is our missing link?" That's a good question. If there was a higher species, don't you think that they would have given brains to the first primitive man. I mean, really, The brains that we have today, if they(brains) were given to the Cromagnon or even the Peking man, what would this world be like today? Interesting. It's almost like asking, how did God evolve. A priest told me that we as a people are not suppose to know. Lets not confuse the two (God and Jesus) because as we know it, we know how Jesus evolved as well as Satan.

Answer 5

How do you know that we use so little of our brains. What runs the immune system, the digestive system, the circulatory system and co-ordinates your movements?

Here's a thing about alien abductees. Almost all the people who claim to have been abducted by extraterrestrial are citizens of the USA. Canadians must look (and sound) pretty much the same as Americans to the average maurading extraterrestrial, but the abductions almost never happen north of the 54th parallel and are all but unheard of in other parts of the world. This sort of indicates that the abductions are and always have been imaginary.

Answer 6

Go to the museum and look at increasing cranium sizes over time. Pretty clear to me. The process being continiuous, you'll always have a missing link unlike you find the cranium of all our ancestors, which is obviously impossible, and also unecessary. Even more unecessary are theories based on non-undestanding due to complete lack of knowledge, rather that based on build up of facts.

Answer 7

We use 100% of our brain. The body cannot afford having an organ it uses little of. The many species of human that have come before us homo sapiens have had brain sizes in between our size brains.

Answer 8

Evolutionary theory, including "the missing link" is simply bad science.
It takes more faith to interpret nature to fit this theory than it does to objectively compare it to the claims of Creationism as given in the Bible.
I know, I've taken classes for both.
I'm not trying to change your mind, just pointing out something that most evolutionary thinkers seem to overlook.
This very idea may be your "missing link'- the fact that the missing link theory needs to be tacked on top of the theory of evolution in order to make it more plausible.
Just something to consider.

Answer 9

I agree with the alien theory. I do believe they are the missing link, just as we are searching for other planets to polinate so to speak. It has already been done, history repeats itself. We are an experiment and as in the past the phrase "Too smart for your own good" will come into play. Aliens have been visiting to check on us all through time and taking samples of their work to study.

Answer 10

I think aliens did have a hand in our evolution, but not exactly sure how. I disdsagree with the theory of us using very little of our brain.

Answer 11

we are animals, because we were inferior physically, our brains evolved to predict nature's food sources - like associating vultures with a dead caucus and an easy food source. The rest is history, and we don't need aliens to explain it.
