Is Our Species Decaying?
By Nigel Kerner
Yes it all goes against human vanity and we’ll all struggle
against accepting it but it may well be the way things are going.
On March 15th 2010 scientists announced that they have
recreated a 28,000-year-old skull from remains found in France and
have found indications that the human brain is shrinking.1 Cro
Magnon 1 was discovered among five ancient skeletons in 1868. An
initial assessment of the fossil’s skull suggested that the brain
it encased was up to 20 per cent larger than modern brains,
reversing an earlier trend towards bigger brains. This assessment
involved the creation of a three dimensional replica of the brain
known as an endocast, made by scanning the interior of the skull
to obtain a picture of the impression left by the brain on the
neurocranium.

A new replica of an early modern human brain has provided further
evidence for the theory that the human brain has been shrinking.
The skull belonged to an elderly Cro Magnon man, whose skeleton is
called Cro Magnon 1. The entire skeleton was discovered in 1868 in
the Cro Magnon cave in Dordogne, France, and has since become one
of the most famous Upper Palaeolithic skeletons. Using new
technology, researchers have produced a replica of the
28,000-year-old brain and found that it is about 15-20% larger
than our brains.

Although this new evidence does not suggest that our ancestors
were more intelligent as studies have found that the link between
brain size and IQ is not well defined, it does raise some very
interesting questions.
The researchers have speculated that the shrinkage in brain
size might suggest that our brains are becoming more efficient
like shrinking computers. But this may also be a sop to our vanity
because if this is indeed the case, why did the human brain
'evolve' to be so big in the first place?
Evolutionary theory suggests that advantageous adaptations to
the environment are naturally selected through time, in other
words those individuals in any particular species who have those
advantages will survive longer and produce more offspring. The
more the brain grows, the more energy and nutrients it takes away
from other vital organs. In fact the brain only takes up 2% of our
body weight, but uses 20-25% of our energy intake by far the most
of any organ. Thus the natural selection of a larger brain which
is to a certain extent redundant and unnecessary is in complete
contradiction to the selective mechanism that is presumed to
govern human evolution.
Professor John Lorber did a study of individuals who somehow
managed to function normally with an IQ over a hundred with only a
sliver of brain tissue. One boy had an IQ of 126 and a first class
honours degree in mathematics despite the fact he had "virtually
no brain". A CAT scan showed that his skull was lined with a thin
layer of brain cells to a millimeter in thickness. The rest of his
skull was filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
Of approximately sixty cases of hydrocephalus patients who had
95% of the cranial cavity filled with cerebrospinal fluid, half
were profoundly retarded. The other half had IQs greater than 100.
He admits that CT scans are not easy to read with pinpoint
accuracy but also points out: "I can't say whether the mathematics
student has a brain weighing 50 grams or 150 grams, but it is
clear that it is nowhere near the normal 1.5 kilograms."2
So if a smaller brain is all that's necessary how and why did
it ‘evolve’ to be so big, keeping all that wasted capacity for so
long and wasting huge amounts of energy to maintain it? What then
prompted it to shrink about 28,000 years ago? Could the larger
brain could have belonged to a superior species who used it to
full capacity? Did we devolve from them?
One of our greatest scientists Dr. Paul Maclean, at the
Laboratory of Brain Evolution in Poolesville, Maryland, discovered
that the brains of higher living organisms were divided into three
distinct schemes of tissue. In other words, we have three distinct
brains in our body. Dr.Maclean called it the “triune brain.” The
three distinct tissue schemes that make up our brain correspond to
three distinct behavioural modes. He identified the three tissue
schemes respectively as the neocortex, the limbic system, and the
cerebellum.3
Interestingly, despite the overall shrinkage in brain size
there has been a growth in the size of the cerebellum, seen by
Maclean as the most primitive reactive section of the brain. So
any ideas that mankind is evolving into a species centred on the
higher brained neo-cortex functions (which govern our ability to
reason and think holistically) are without foundation. If the more
advanced feature, the neo-cortex is more a feature of the past
brain than the present brain then what does that say about the
evolutionary premise
Startling though it might be is it possible that humans and
indeed all species once came from ancestries that devolved down
from grander, perhaps more ephemeral forms? Forms that perhaps may
have had incredible abilities to manipulate physical materiality
(matter) as a function of mind empowered by a capacity maybe as
much as twenty times larger than ours now.
Our universe is subject to the second law of thermodynamics
that breaks all things up into greater and greater states of chaos
with time. It could thus be argued that the ordered complexities
of living systems could never have arisen from within this system.
Sir Fred Hoyle has pointed out that the odds for the origins of
life in the first place are outlandishly high. He calculates that
the chance of the vital two thousand enzymes being formed in
exactly the correct way, which they must be or else complex living
organisms simply could not operate, is “about the same as the
chance of throwing an uninterrupted sequence of 50,000 sixes with
unbiased dice!”4
Scientists studying mutational phenomena have discovered that
there is a blueprint, “an ancestral body plan” that guides
development from one species form to another. Instead of inventing
a new set of body plan genes for each new type of animal, it seems
that natural selection has simply tinkered with an old one, a set
known as Hox genes.5 If all organisms that now exist had from
their very inception into the evolutionary process a blue-print of
how they should evolve, then where did that blueprint come from in
the first place? How did the first multi-cellular animals evolving
some 700 million years ago contain the basic template of
information that only needed to be shuffled around in order to
form a human being? All the myriad changing environmental factors
and chance mutations—which allowed survival within changed
environments and thus evolution through the survival of the
fittest—had not yet occurred at that point. So where did the most
basic of living organisms, or indeed the chemical soup that
produced them in the first place, get this genetic blueprint?
How then can we explain the fossil record that seems to suggest
an increase in brain size up to 100,000 years ago? Could it be
that the fossil record does not present a single species line of
development from Australopithecus to Homo Sapiens Sapiens but
instead presents the end points of several species lines as
represented by their hominid remains? Michael Cremo has presented
evidence that over the past 150 years archaeologists have
discovered forms of human skeletal remains, human footprints, and
human artefacts tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of
years old, going all the way back to about 2 billion years.
According to Cremo the archaeological establishment have picked
and chosen only those artefacts that conform with evolutionary
theory.
A further implication of human devolution is the fact that only
2-3% of the human genome actually codes for the proteins that form
the body. Of the remaining 97-98% a fraction has been found to
have controlling or regulatory factors to this formation but the
rest appears to be redundant. Could this spare DNA also be a
remnant of the past, a fossil within the human genome of a
superior genotype that used the full 100% of that DNA?
If devolution is the governing momentum that drives living
species and prior states are superior to current states it would
follow that the earlier state is existentially the more superior
one. I am not saying that evolutionary processes like survival of
the fittest have no place in ancestral demarcation. They quite
clearly do. I am saying that Evolution within an overall
Devolutionary process may be the truer and more accurate format of
it all. The one that fits all the facts.
Does this imply creationism – would God create imperfect beings
from his own state of perfection just to watch the fun?
Intelligent Design starts from that same basic premise. Or does it
imply instead a non-physical state that would explain the quantum
reality that is now accepted by quantum physics? An implicit
centre of perfection and therefore perfect freedom to know all
options including the option to no longer be perfectly free,
perhaps this could be a new frame for the concept of God, a
concept that could unite physics, biology and religious belief.

Nigel Kerner is an author, screen writer and journalist. He was
born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) where his father served as an
officer in the Royal Naval Fleet Air Arm during the last war. His
paternal family line can be traced back to the German philosopher
and poet Justinus Kerner. His mother is of expatriate British
planting stock. His formal graduate education is in biomedical
science and human behavioural psychology.
Nigel Kerner's international family base provided a
background for an obsessive and serious interest in international
human affairs and in science and its interface with religion and
philosophy in the contemporary world. He has felt driven, from his
young years, to expose the humbug and hypocrisy in modern
scientific and religious and social thinking. A fascination with
the puzzling and enigmatic phenomenon of UFOs resulted in his
first book THE SONG OF THE GREYS published by Hodder
& Stoughton in 1997. A serious work on the subject now noted world
wide for its radical view on the phenomenon. Much to the author's
chagrin, many who have read the book consider him to be one of the
world's foremost ufologists.
Nigel Kerner lives with his wife and family on his
estate in middle England. He has a passionate interest in projects
on behalf of the poor of developing nations. He is at present
working with his family and a team of European friends and
volunteers on a medical and agro-development project done on
behalf of the rural poor in a country in the Far East.
His hobbies include reading science literature and
journals, wild-life videography, wildlife conservation activities,
singing and song writing. His singular sporting passion is cricket
and he has for many years been following the England cricket team
all over the world in the hope of being there when they win a
match. At the time of writing he is a happier man in this respect.

The Song Of The Greys
by Nigel Kerner
Order this book here >>
Of all the humanoid alien types that feature in
reports of sightings and abductions, the most common is "the Grey"
- smooth and sallow-skinned, small in stature, spindly and thin.
Who are they? Where do they come from? What do they want from us?
They have programmed in to their intercepted lines of mankind
all the mechanisms necessary to keep their experiments intact and
functioning. Racism and tribalism are a case in point. What better
way to keep experimental groups separate in order to avoid one
experiment leaking into another and affecting the final result,
than to programme separatism and tribal identity into the
experimental subjects.

Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls:
The Conspiracy to
Genetically Tamper with Humanity
by Nigel Kerner
“Nigel Kerner’s shocking new book
totally redefines the nature of the alien presence on our
planet. In a detailed study that is certain to send shockwaves
throughout the world of UFO research, Kerner offers a
terrifying theory to explain the presence of the so-called
extraterrestrial Greys on our world. Far from being the
benevolent visitors that many abductees believe them to be, in
reality aliens are cold and clinical creatures whose stark and
terrible task is to reap and manipulate our very life
force--the human soul--for purposes both nefarious and
ominous. A book that should, and must, be read.” (Nick
Redfern, author of Final Events: Alien Abductions, the
Government, and the Afterlife )

Book Description
Exposes the agenda behind the bio-robotic grey aliens’
genetic manipulation of certain human races
-
Reveals the Grey’s nature as sophisticated self-aware machines
created by a long vanished extraterrestrial civilization
-
Explains how their quest to capture human souls appears in the
historical record from biblical times
-
Explains how the phenomenon of racism is a by-product of their
genetic tampering
In 1997 Nigel Kerner first introduced the notion of
aliens known as Greys coming to Earth, explaining that Greys are sophisticated
biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilization they have long
since outlived. In this new book Kerner reveals that the Greys are seeking to
master death by obtaining something humans possess that they do not: souls.
Through the manipulation of human DNA, these aliens hope to create their own
souls and, thereby, escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor
of the timeless realm of spirit.
Kerner explains that genetic manipulation by the Greys
has occurred since biblical times and has led to numerous negative qualities
that plague humanity, such as violence, greed, and maliciousness. Racism, he
contends, was developed by the aliens to prevent their genetic experiments from
being compromised by breeding with others outside their influence. Examining
historical records, Kerner shows that Jesus, who represented an uncorrupted
genetic line, warned his disciples about the threat posed by these alien
interlopers, while Hitler, a pure product of this alien intelligence, waged
genocide in an attempt to rid Earth of all those untouched by this genetic
tampering. Despite the powerful grip the Greys have on humanity, Kerner says
that all hope is not lost. Greys exist wholly in the material world, so if we
follow the spiritual laws of reincarnation and karma, aiming for enlightenment
and rising above the material--a state the Greys are unable to reach--we can
free ourselves from their grasp.

Human Devolution:
a Vedic alternative to Darwin's theory
by
Michael A. Cremo |
WHERE DID WE COME FROM?
Drawing upon a wealth of research into
archeology, genetics, reincarnation memories, out-of-body
experiences, parapsychology, cross cultural cosmology, and the
search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Cremo provides a
refreshing perspective on human origins according to the ancient
philosophy of India. In their controversial bestseller Forbidden
Archeology, Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson documented
evidence showing that humans have existed on earth for hundreds
of millions of years.
|
|
Such anomalous evidence, contradicting Darwinian evolution,
catalyzed a global inquiry: If we did not evolve from apes then
where did we come from?
Human Devolution is Michael A. Cremo's definitive answer
to that question: We did not evolve up from matter; instead we
devolved, or came down, from the real of pure consciousness,
spirit.
Basing his response on modern science and the world's great
wisdom traditions, including the Vedic philosophy of ancient India,
Cremo proposes that before we ask the question, Where did human
beings come from? we should first contemplate, What is a human
being? For much of the twentieth century, most scientists assumed
that a human being is simply a combination of ordinary physical
elements. In Human Devolution, Cremo says it is more reasonable to
assume that a human being is a combination of three distinct
substances: mind, matter, and consciousness (or spirit). He shows
how solid scientific evidence for a subtle mind element and a
conscious self that can exist apart from the body have been
systematically eliminated from mainstream science by a process of
knowledge filtration. Asserting that humans are a combination of
matter, mind, and consciousness, Cremo pilots a cosmic tour through
incredible enigmas of time and space, ranging from Precambrian
microfossils to black holes to superhuman beings, thus revealing the
cosmos itself to be divided into corresponding regions dominated by
ordinary matter, the subtle mind element, and pure consciousness.
Human Devolution illustrates how the self originally exists on the
level of pure consciousness, in harmony with the personal source of
all conscious beings. When a conscious self relinquishes its
connection with the source of all conscious beings, it becomes
covered by the lower energies of mind and matter. Cremo calls this
devolution. But devolution can be reversed, and consciousness can be
restored to its original pure state by a process of spiritual
evolution. The Controversy Continues: The highly anticipated sequel
to the controversial best-seller Forbidden Archeology has arrived.
