Scientists Confirm Extraterrestrial Genes in Human DNA

I agree No difference between Alien and Extraterrestrial, that's the mexicans right?

extraterrestrial = ALIEN
alien does NOT = extraterrestrial

there is no reason to distinguish between 'alien' and 'extraterrestrial'... when speaking of DNA.

then 'who' are 'we'?

are you trying to convince me that beings advanced enough to travel through space come to earth to practice some kind of interstellar bestiality (one species having sex with another)?

sorry I just don't believe that anything advanced enough to travel space would have an interrest in molesting human women, let alone female whales, gorillas, dogs, elephants.... because this is what you're trying to tell me.

didn't you see... they got extraterrestrial DNA from humans. yeah, I know that doesn't make sence, but we're dealing with a branch of the human line that is akin to or siblings to the non-thinking faithful line...

or perhaps just the math... umpteen billion stars and we're the only life out there, and not only that, we're the most intelligent? arrogant to the extreme in my opinion...

I am never amazed at the seemingly impossible achievements humanity makes...

Least of all being the ability to explain it all away with God/gods, monsters, or aliens.

arrogant maybe... but in fact WE just may be the FIRST civilization (humans, not just modern eurocentric civilization) in the universe... but then we could be the last to show up, or yet still we may have sister civilizations with equivalent levels of technology. my point is that yes, there most likely IS life out there beyond earth, and yes their may be civilizations, but still there may not be. but also, ours may be the first... this is one explaination as to why we haven't heard signals from others yet... but also perhaps the signals have come and gone and we're too late... oh the combinations of hapenstance!

reminds me of the OLMEC heads found in central america. supposedly carved by the olmec (one of the oldest known cultures in the americas) but yet the faces on these heads have disctinctly 'aftrican' features and NOT the facial features of the other local tribes with distinctly native american facial features. so this begs the question, why are african faces carved onto american rocks, when later carvings all have features of the americans?

"this is one explaination as to why we haven't heard signals from others yet"

You also have to factor in the millions and millions of different frequencies, and the amount of sky we would need to monitor before we could even begin to conclude that no extraterrestrial signals are coming our way. SETI monitors a very low percentage of what could possibly be monitored.

So do you think that human beings were once much more advanced than they are now or are we devolving?

I have seen those. There were Pre-Sanskrit writings discovered in Illinois. The Olmecs had a story about star beings that came to earth.

Not to mention that their technology could be quite different from ours. Look at the huge changes in what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is being used for communications on this planet. They now occupy ranges that were never thought possible of being used for communications. Now we are on the verge of using other forms of communication that involve quantum mechanics and quantum computers.

Anyone ever heard of Quantum Engtanglement?

Well there are many ways that these ET's could communicate that we simply haven't had the technology to listen to.

I just think the information we know has changed due to our circumstances, "Modern Civilization".

For instance; let us examine the Pyramids of Egypt for a moment. A few facts: We have found evidence for water powered stone cutting devices, an odd belt device to wrap around square stones. And many transitional, and failed Pyramids before the constructions at Giza. If we first look at the people's of Egypt most basic structure (The mastaba) we see that it is trapezoidal in shape. When we then compare this with the "Stepped Pyramid of Joser" we see a series of mastaba or trapezoidal shapes stacked upon one another. Now if one were to then extend those slanted steps a little bit outwards on would create a pyramid similar to the ones at Giza. Now think about that odd belt I mentioned before... If as we know to be true a square can be inscribed within a circle, then if one was to create a belt that was to wrap around a square as to make it a circle(or wheel) then one could easily move it around. All that is then required are ramps made from soil, to get the stones to the given location they exist in. As a matter of fact one could easily design this belt to have an attaching point much like an axle that could then be pulled by any beast of burden.

For each of these things I have mentioned there is evidence for. For all that is mentioned one can start to determine a clear evolution for how pyramids were constructed. Now I ask you, given this evidence is it more likely that people built the Great Pyramids, or aliens?

My over arching point is that, we forget one thing when we look at the inventions or successes of the ancient world... They took a really long time. Think about the first plane, and how long it took us to get to the jumbo jet. Now realize that there was a lot of technology speeding up that process. Now think back to the Egyptians, and how little technology they had. Point being, it took them a really long time to get there and a whole lot of trial and error.

I'm reminded of an article I read in the book "Death by Black hole" by Neil Tysson. At one point he goes into an in detail analysis of what people can determine about there existence with simple stick technology. One can determine the days of the year, the solstices, given some basic math one can even give a rough estimate for the diameter of the earth, moon, and sun, with the distances of each as well. When you have enough time to think about the little that goes on in your world you get really good and understand what does happen in it.

I hope that clarifies my stance. If not, then maybe I should summarize by saying we are no dumber or smarter than we ever were.

I don't doubt that Humans built the pyramids but the big question is did they design the artifacts that seem to be in conflict with the accepted archaeological story...such as the artifacts found in Ecuador, Columbia and Bolivia? Was there a global civilization that existed wherein one common language was shared world wide and was that civilization technologically advanced enough to create the artifact that were found?

The whole pyramid argument was an analogy. Just because something may appear to conflict with the archaeological evidence, does not mean that it actually does. There are many instances of researchers discovering objects are people that have been dated way before one would expect(according to the standard model), and in all of those instances it has been a failure in the test, due to contamination(as radio carbon dating can be thrown off if other newer material is mixed in within, or vice versa). As for language, all the evidence shows that there was no one world language that spread across the globe. Indo-European and Asiatic languages share nothing in common.

...correction, this could be one reason why we have heard no signals from others.

how could that be? the olmec seem to have not use a writen language, or at least the ONLY remnants of the olmec (being the olmec heads) do not have writing of on them.

Your not the first person to get confused with the wording; which is why i suspect DogBoy wisely used the term Extraterrestrial rather than alien; because most equate the word with little green men instead of its intended meaning, foreign.

Exactly! It's self evidently illogical. Nothing to be "sceptical" about, it's just a completely made up L Ron Hubbard style fiction.

The wording is shit. It's full of crap like "20 extra terrestrial civilisations". You can't work that out from looking at genes my friend. Genetics don't work that way...

"Oh dear! I see from your genes that you fly spaceships, have long walks on the beach, and enjoy fine wines in the evening...'

Ya... not happening. Ever ;)

"12 extra terrestrial civilizations.."...voted up wink
AGREED
DNA does not denote spaceships or any influence in the 'back story' other than the genetic data , which now has been independently verified by numerous sources world wide as to being extraterrestrial in origin; not of this biosphere.

at the same time... how can you confirm that it's *not* alien dna?

yes! IF it's DNA, then there is NO way to tell if it's extraterrestrial unless we have already sampled a similar (extrarerrestrial) DNA.

As any "third year" ...heck even first year students, are well aware from lessons with the periodic table and identifying unknown elements ..,

DNA is identified as belonging to a specific species through counting the chromosomes( http://cnls.lanl.gov/q-bio/wiki/images/f/f0/Poster08-ray.pdf ) within the genome .( http://www.ai-junkie.com/ga/intro/gat1.html ) With DNA or rather chromosomal design ,.."the problem is to find the integer value of x between 0 and 255 that provides the maximal result for f(x) = x2. (This isn't the type of problem that is normally solved by a genetic algorithm, since it can be trivially solved using numeric methods. It is only used to serve as a simple example.) Our possible solutions are the integers from 0 to 255, which can all be represented as 8-digit binary strings. Thus, we might use an 8-digit binary string as our chromosome. If a given chromosome in the population represents the value 155, its chromosome would be 10011011..." not like i would know...
If it shows/results in numbers that don't reoccur within nature , they fall under 'extraterrestrial'; not of this bio sphere; no need to have tissue samples of little green people on ice; , no fault , learn lol track 'em transposons ...... .. ... .... .. ..... nu

counting the chromosomes does not alone identify any species.

there are most likely other species with the same number of chromosomes. also the full count of chromosomes is NOT even needed to develop an organism. this was proven with sea urchins, and proved the chromosome theory of inheritance.

we think otherwise because we're a species that doesn't quite follow this rule thus we use haploid genetic information for some aspects of development but then also the full polyploid set when using genetic information for other aspects of development. for example both the egg and sperm in humans have the information for developing a placenta, but this information is silenced in the egg, therefore ONLY the sperms version of a plecenta will develop.

also DNA is not binary it is quaternary.

Thank you kindly for the correction, the only way to learn is to present ignorance...

sorry, but this video doesn't do anything but prey on the uneducated. it's pseudoscience. just like those people who talks about "programing" crystals with "loving" or "kind" energy... they're prostituting ACTUAL science for wishfull thinking and ignorance.

there is no way to discern any DNA from any other DNA unless both have already been anylized and one compares the two.

nobody has anylized ANY extraterrestrial DNA. BECAUSE we have not found extraterrestrial life.

therefore we DO not have anything to compare, therefore any claim to have identified extraterrestrial DNA is false.

lol I didn't present this as 'proof' of anything ; other than to highlight that ancient information world wide, has pointed towards 'DNA manipulation' for a very long time. ( My wording can be misinterpreted: 'this 'research-pertaining to the original post, not video)
Agreed 'extraterrestrial origin,' is postulating , until it is stated as evident, by scientists world wide that manipulation did occur ; which HAS HAPPENED. The videos i posted ,so far were four separate 'scientific' (postulating ) studies into ancient manipulation of DNA ...there are thousands of examples; except NOW DNA manipulation has, a genetic foothold

I am not in a position to describe how or why they came to this conclusion , but here it is; confirmed by others in the field. There obviously are many questions that are raised with such a claim but to expect answers in a normative forum such as current, is highly unlikely.

I know. Logic has no place in the minds of the gullible.

lol that is how a confirmation is produced -

First you have a bunch of postulations that are conformed into a consistent theory.Which then is either recognized as apparent or not by the contact es'.

The choice to approach the data with skepticism is natural but , not see the forest for the trees...lol

"...unexplained if 'we' evolved from primates but no primate displays this basic trait." you could also say this of the broca's area in the brain, as well as the whites of our eyes... however, this is a fallacy. like saying that since monkey's have tails apes could not have evolved from monkeys because apes do not have tails. but again. this is a fallacy. simply not true.

We didn't evolve from primates, we ARE primates, we are in fact part of the Great Apes group. Genetically, there is a greater difference between chimpanzees and gorillas than between chimpanzees and humans.

An ape is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans. Due to its ambiguous nature, the term ape has been deemphasized in favor of Hominoidea as a means of describing taxonomic relationships.

Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:

* the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 14 species of gibbon, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the lesser apes.

* the family Hominidae consisting of chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans collectively known as the great apes.

A few other primates, such as the Barbary Ape, have the word ape in their common names (usually to indicate lack of a tail), but they are not regarded as true apes.

Except for gorillas and humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees. They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, including grass seeds, and in most cases other animals, either hunted or scavenged, along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia, although humans have spread to all parts of the world.

Most nonhuman ape species are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most of the endangered species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are further imperiled by hunting for bushmeat.

Thank you for the fine response. Yes , we are primates ; the term 'ape' is much to broad a stroke. I should o've caught that when 'd' mentioned it , good eye.
humanities inhumanity.. a bit ironic if not...so sad

not really sure what your point is?

yes it IS untrue to say humans are not primates. this is NOT opinion, it is FACT. just as it is untrue that any particular feature of anatomy can be used as evidence that we did not evolve from other apes. that's simply untrue. even if humans had feathers and a beak, ALL evidence says we are apes, and IF some particular feature is NOT part of the ape criterion, then that's a feature that had to have evolved AFTER the schism between humans and other apes. this is logical if you have a correct understanding of WHAT evolution is. and you don't even need to know the details to be right!

I do not need to prove untruth, it's up to you to disprove accepted truths, if that's your purpose here. humans are primates and have evolved: FACT. just as the earth orbits the sun: FACT, just as ALL KNOWN organisms are related. FACT: just as my house is made of wood and nails. this has nothing to do with any opinions, merely truth and untruth.

This is a very ignorant comment.
You should have gone to biology class.

Im currently in my third year on a degree in genetics. my arguemnt is not on biology, but the logic of evolution. perhaps YOU should take a logic class.

lol

this post makes obvious the "absolutistsm" so prevelent in our culture, there in actuality no such distictions as genera species family... these are used simply because humans are obsessed with labels.

in reality we (humans) could breed with a person who is bread with a, (the intermediates between human and chimp) who is bread with a chimpanzee... if only there were intermediates to breed with thus connecting through generations all our relations (human and not). it just so happens, and luckily for our need to use labels "this" species or "that" species, the intermediates are all dead.

this is demonstrated with the herring gull versus lesser black-backed gull... As Dawkins states in 'Gaps in the Mind', "In Britain these are clearly distinct species, quite different in colour. Anybody can tell them apart. But if you follow the population of herring gulls westward round the North Pole to North America, then via Alaska across Siberia and back to Europe again, you will notice a curious fact. The 'herring gulls' gradually become less and less like herring gulls and more and more like lesser black-backed gulls until it turns out that our European lesser black-backed gulls actually are the other end of a ring that started out as herring gulls. At every stage around the ring, the birds are sufficiently similar to their neighbours to interbreed with them. Until, that is, the ends of the continuum are reached, in Europe. At this point the herring gull and the lesser black-backed gull never interbreed, although they are linked by a continuous series of interbreeding colleagues all the way round the world. The only thing that is special about ring species like these gulls is that the intermediates are still alive. "

The article didn't say Alien it said, Extraterrestrial. Difference.

irrelevant. extraterrestrial is a synonym to alien.

Alien: Extraterrestrial Life

Extraterrestrial Life: Life that does not come from earth.

I also did research to not look asinine. http://thesaurus.com/browse/alien

I bring up this FACT because as-far as i know, we do not know of any aliens, which is exactly why the article states "Extraterrestrial" and not "Alien".

are you hinting toward panspermia? or the seeding of life from organic molecules in space? I'm not sure what your point is? Extraterrestrial means 'not of earth' alien means foriegn... therefore extraterrestrial DNA on earth is by definition ALIEN (foriegn) DNA.

The article says Extraterrestrial DNA. DNA that is believed to not be from earth dude, jeez.

Article seems stretchy anyways, F4G3tiT.

ok, so you're not even arguing a point or discussing anything... you're just bored and posting on forums. ok. maybe read a book or something? just a thought.

I'm giving up on sharing my word pixels with you, because you lack of understanding no longer amuses me.

lack of understanding? you mean in this fabricated antifactual bullshit?

except for the fact that this is all made up.

So very true.

As it's been said before: Sometimes even the smartest people can believe the stupidest things.

Nobody is mocking Crick - we are mocking the pseudo-scientists who pretend to continue his work.

How do you know that anyone in this post/article even Smokes Weed or Consumes alcoholic beverages? Your being just as ignorant as the people you are trying to belittle.

you want a hard FACT to refute this tripe? how about this... DNA does not come with labels saying "tomato gene" or "Human gene". this is why this article is pseudoscience.

Thats why the said the DNA was from something Extraterrestrial, no DNA doesn't come with labels but almost everything that exist has had its DNA cataloged and stored, it might not be right to say its Not from this planet because we do not have ALL species cataloged and yes tomatoes do have a label Google Tomato DNA string and Human DNA string. Difference.

"almost everything that exist has had its DNA cataloged and stored." actually very few (out of the very many) organisms have even been anylized at all.

people label DNA as human or tomato DNA.

DNA itself is NOT marked as "tomato". this is how we can put a gene from one organism into another. IF DNA were marked as "tomato" then another organism could NOT use it and transgenetics would not exist. DNA is nothing more than digital information, a program. and this information is translated the same way in all organisms, somewhat like saying that all cells are computers running the came operating system. and just as the birary code used to compute anything can be put into any system (of the same OS).

the ONLY way to discern a "tomato" gene from a "human" gene is to compare the two. we do not have alien DNA to compare to anything.

Whadda' ya' mean you don't smoke pot. That is you, Valence, in the avatar right ? People that smoke that crap can't even recognize there selves in the mirror.You must be drunk and high right now with all of the nay saying jibberish you're quoting.....
Yeah, you're high, just like I figured. Your typing is slurred, and your buddy dariusvons,... if he isn't high....no one is. Look at his avatar. He's an alien if I ever saw one.

Go to bed , both of you,and sleep it off, you freakin' drunks before I send Doctor Spock after you..

Haha, i laugh at how asinine, ignorant and immature you are.

I do not drink, smoke marijuana(Anymore at least) or cigarettes, my typing is slurred? Check out your grammar. "Nuff Said"

1. The article states Extraterrestrial DNA, DNA which is not of this earth.

2.DNA is not marked by words but by differences.

3.Go back to high school and re-take biology.

You're kidding, right?

It always surprises me how people can believe crazy crap. Current isn't the national enquirer. Go have your babies with bigfoot in peace.

The problem is that it says there's DNA from "20 extraterrestrial cilvilizations". So yeah, it IS worded to sound like the crap it is.

ok, and just what are these 'differences' that mark this DNA as extraterrestrial professor? "nuff said" as you put it earlier.

wow... if highschool is the last place you learned anything about genetics then it's no wonder you believe this tripe! get a clue, highschool biology as taught today is something like 30 years behind the actual science... we KNOW a whole lot MORE now... so maybe YOU should go to college.

actually when it comes to the stats, something like 40% of americans admit to smoking MJ at some time. this means that nearly HALF the populus... and thats just who ADMITTED it for the survey!!!

Yeah I was kidding, but and f---em' if he can't take a joke.

You're right. Current is not the National Esquire. National Esquire is much more of a reliable source.

Much more.

A) I use to smoke pot many many years ago.Then, one day, I just got tired of being wasted. What a waste.

B) None of those above mentioned sat around on their asses all day and just got blitz.

C) So What. That's not even a fraction of the great people who walked this Earth that have never touched drugs in their lives.

D) It might be to you, but that list really isn't all that impressive to me.

I don't see Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Joseph Tutu, Gandhi or Buddha's name on your pothead list.

Your attitude towards what you call "potheads" is identical to the attitude of racists towards people of colour.
