Anyway, point being, I'm skeptical about those because they find one fragment and there's a lot of interpretation that's going on there. The consensus has been for a long time that we appeared. I'm just going to preface this by saying I'm a degree geologist. I believe in evolution. Evolution is a fact. I've seen it in the fossil record for plants, animals, insects. Darwin's theory of evolution breaks down when it comes to humans. And it breaks down for this reason we now can do what used to sound like science fiction. If you ever saw the first Jurassic park where they pulled the DNA out of the fossilized remains of ancient forms of life in the movie, they brought them back to life. To the best of my knowledge, we haven't done that. What we have done is we can extract that DNA from the bone marrow of fossilized remains of beings that we used to believe were our ancestors. And what's happening is, and this is a mind blower, we know that we didn't descend from Neanderthal. We shared the earth with them, certainly, and some people have some Neanderthal DNA because of that. But we did not descend from them and we didn't descend from many of the other forms that you see on those traditional trees. You know, you've got modern humans here and all these lines connecting. But if you look close at the lines, most of them are broken lines, Joe, because there's no solid evidence, it's called inferred or speculative relationships. I've got a picture of it here if we want to see that. But what they're showing is that we showed up about 200,000 years ago. Now there's a little evidence that may have been back as far as 300,000. But the kicker is that we can now look at the DNA and reverse engineer it and say, what did it take to get where we are and what scientists are now calling the smoking gun, and there's still a lot of controversy around this, is human chromosome number two. Human chromosome number two, the second largest chromosome in every cell of the body. It's got about 1200 or so genes in that chromosome. And just one of them, gene TBR number one, is responsible for most of the brain that we have for our neocortex. So our humanness, our empathy, sympathy, compassion, love, our cognitive abilities, the mirror neurons, all these kinds of things are because that one gene. Well, where this gets really interesting is where did chromosome 2 come from? And scientists have the answer, but they don't like the answer because chromosome 2 is the product of a fusion. Proceedings from National Academy of Sciences. The volume Genetics says this very clearly. We conclude that the origin of human chromosome 2 is the product of an ancestral fusion of telomere to telomere fusion of two pre existing chromosomes. That does not happen in nature. It can't happen in nature. So here's what they're saying. You got two fully two fully formed, fully functional chromosomes. And on the end are the telomeres that protect those chromosomes when the cells divide. And that's why they're on the end. They take the hit. It's a trauma in a cell when those chromosomes are pulled apart and some of the DNA doesn't make it. So nature puts telomeres on the end to take the hit, so the good DNA remains intact, and that's why it's on the ends. Human chromosome two, those telomeres are right in the middle of the chromosome where they shouldn't be, because those chromosomes were fused together about 200,000 years ago when we. Whoa. When we appeared. And if that was the only one, you could say, well, maybe it's a fluke. Chromosome number seven. I'm a musician when I'm not doing what I'm doing now. Long before I was a researcher, and one of the things I always used to wonder about, you know, we share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, but you don't hear chimpanzees sing. You know, you're never going to hear a chimpanzee sing. Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven. And you ask, well, why not? I mean, 98% of the DNA we share with them, but it's because of chromosome 7. And for about 175 million years, this chromosome was stable. And all primates, all of them, orangutan, gorilla, chimps, all the primates, all of a sudden there was this little this little switch of a couple of genes that connected our tongue and our brain and our jaw and we can sing and we can have complex speech like no other form of life. It happened 200,000 years ago. What are the odds of that happening when chromosome 2 is fusing? So I've worked with scientists my whole life, both in academia and in the corporations. I was a problem solver for Fortune 500 companies through the late 70s, 80s and 90s. And one of the things I've seen about scientists, it's fascinating, is that there is one way of thinking that says we take all the evidence and we force it into a pre existing model, like all the new discoveries trying to force that into Darwin's theory of evolution. Or we allow the new evidence to lead to the story that it tells. And this is where science is stuck right now. Because the old theory, Darwin's theory of evolution is in trouble. And it's the DNA is the reason it's in trouble. It's no longer superficial or, you know, fossil evidence. I mean, the DNA is telling the story. And the new story suggests at the very least a scientist has to say there's been some kind of intelligent intervention. And this is where science gets stuck because science says it's not equipped to talk about any kind of an intelligent intervention. But that ties in to everything that's happening now. You know, if we're going to talk about ancient civilizations or if we're going to talk about we've been here before, are we going to talk about what it is that is the disclosure, all of those kinds of things. So science is kind of at the crossroads right now. There is something called the standard model and that applies to evolution. And what the evidence suggests is we are the product of an intelligent and an intentional act. Who or what that is, that's where it can get sticky, the universe. We've had physicists on here and really good physicists, and some of them are not aware of some of the new information that's come out now. But when I was in school back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, I was taught that the universe is dead, inert, just cold. And we happen to be lucky Biology. That's kind of what they used to teach. Now physicists are suggesting universe is alive, it is intelligent and it's conscious. And one of the reasons for this. And you can go to the NASA website and you can look at some of these images, the James Webb Space Telescope, they're showing galaxies that are in proximity of something that is dangerous to them, like an exploding Whatever. And what they'll do is they'll create jets from the center, both directions, these jets that actually move them out of the way. And I talk about, I've got a new book. And I talk about that in the new book. So it's documented in the book. They actually move them to a safer place. And you say, well, maybe that's a fluke. It's a one off. And now that they have found that they found, it happens time and time again.
