1. The sun hurts our eyes – How have we not evolved to look towards the sun after millions of years of evolution here A: The Sun hurts all animal's eyes. My cat can't stare at the Sun... neither can ancient animals, such as crocadiles.
2. The sun kills us – How can the sun, which we need, be able to kills us through skin cancer A: The Sun kills a lot of animals. Ask the earthworm that wanders on to the sidewalk in the morning.
3. SAD - Other animals migrate or hibernate while we just get depressed A: We have the means to hibernate. We choose to hibenate in our cubicles at work every day.
4. Bad Backs – We are from a planet with different gravity and aren’t meant to grow this tall = Bad backs A: Our bad backs ususally come from the things we do... like playing basketball, lifting heavy shit or slouching in our couches for way too many hours... not how it is designed.
5. Fossil records – Lack of fossil link between early apes and modern humans has never been found A: Maybe we just aren't looking in the right place.
6. Lack Of body hair – To keep us warm like other animals A: Ever been to the Jersey Shore? Just because people manscape their backs, doesn't mean their backs are hairless.
7. Hay fever and asthma – After millions of years of evolution we should have adapted to this A: Airborne particulants. Most of the plants and flowers around are not native to your lands. I'm not allergic to pollen... yet.
8. Diet – We should eat food found in nature. However we are constantly modifying our food (all our produce such as corn carrots) and even cooking the food which is not how it is naturally. We should have evolved to crave natural food A: With the knowledge of fire... comes the hot meal.
9. Excessive overpopulation – We can’t sustain ourselves A: That is our own stupidity.
10. Lack of defensive capabilities – If we evolved in East Africa we would have no defensive capabilities to survive the environment, long before we used any type of tool A: We hid in the under brush and were considered prey animals to the early predators, while being predators to the smaller animals, such as rodents, rabbits, insects and reptiles.
11. Destroying the environment – we are the only species on earth that changes and destroys its environment by doing what we do naturally A: What we are doing is not natural at all. Producing tons of plastics and throwing them into our oceans, thinking they will dissolve is merely attributed to stupidity.
12. Technological Leaps – The jump from Homo sapiens to modern humans is extremely short. It took us 10,000s of years to use rudimentary tools, however only 7000 years for me to use this computer A: Knowledge leads to innovation.
13. Chronic Illness – No other species on earth experiences chronic illness like we do A: Tell that to my cat that died of cancer.
14. Unhappiness and depression – Most humans aren’t happy and depression is growing, where as there’s a saying “happy as a pig in shit” we aren’t happy here because we are not from here A: I don't like shit and i don't want to be in a pit of it. and i'm happy... i deal with the blues now and then, but get over it. And i really don't know if my cat ever gets depressed... he never talks to me about it.
15. Self-destruction – turn on the news[/quote] A: That is our own doing. We have the ability to choose not to be destructive... but, we don't.

Hail, Hail!!!
Besides so much of this being easily refutable, it's interesting how hard we try to be something other than who and what we are. We have books like the one in question here that propose shaky theories about our "alien origins". We have religions that magically transform us in an "afterlife". We invent cults founded on the idea that by doing so we may be able to contact aliens who will whisk us away. We have indoor philosophies and activities, work and amusements many of which are scarcely of at all based on any connection to the natural world around us and thus alienate ourselves from the natural world and its cycles from which we evolved and belong such that we no longer see ourselves of this world. I don't think we came from anywhere but this planet but at the rate we are going we will, indeed, become aliens upon it.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Why would some aliens bother to put us humans here? Curiosity? Experimentation?
Harvest us for food. Once we've grown to the number worth their time, they'll come get us.
Hahaha. I don't think we're that tasty to be farmed for 50,000 years.
OK, another rambling of the mind:
We know the world is made of atoms. But has anyone ever thought that the world might itself be like an atom in a much grander dimension? Have googled this but couldn't find such a hypothesis.
What's your part, who you are?

According to sharks- the way they spit us out after chomping into us- we may very well be horrible tasting!
As for your second thought... I have considered that as well: just a miniscule, insignificant nothing in the much larger picture. In reality... this is the truth.
1. The sun hurts our eyes – How have we not evolved to look towards the sun after millions of years of evolution here A: The Sun hurts all animal's eyes. My cat can't stare at the Sun... neither can ancient animals, such as crocadiles.
2. The sun kills us – How can the sun, which we need, be able to kills us through skin cancer A: The Sun kills a lot of animals. Ask the earthworm that wanders on to the sidewalk in the morning.
3. SAD - Other animals migrate or hibernate while we just get depressed A: We have the means to hibernate. We choose to hibenate in our cubicles at work every day.
we also migrated away from africa
4. Bad Backs – We are from a planet with different gravity and aren’t meant to grow this tall = Bad backs A: Our bad backs ususally come from the things we do... like playing basketball, lifting heavy shit or slouching in our couches for way too many hours... not how it is designed.
also by walking upright we are also going against gravity.
5. Fossil records – Lack of fossil link between early apes and modern humans has never been found
A: Maybe we just aren't looking in the right place.
or they've been destroyed, or they are so far under our feet we are unlikely to find them
6. Lack Of body hair – To keep us warm like other animals A: Ever been to the Jersey Shore? Just because people manscape their backs, doesn't mean their backs are hairless.
7. Hay fever and asthma – After millions of years of evolution we should have adapted to this A: Airborne particulants. Most of the plants and flowers around are not native to your lands. I'm not allergic to pollen... yet.
hay fever is our bodes immune system detect foreign bodies and thinking its a disease, hay fever is a product of evolution and without what causes it we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves against diseases
8. Diet – We should eat food found in nature. However we are constantly modifying our food (all our produce such as corn carrots) and even cooking the food which is not how it is naturally. We should have evolved to crave natural food A: With the knowledge of fire... comes the hot meal.
also with out developing fire to cook food we would have found it very difficult to get enough protein in our diets for a brains to have developed.
9. Excessive overpopulation – We can’t sustain ourselves A: That is our own stupidity.
its because of our lack of natural predator. we are on top bitches.
also farming with out which we would be defiantly fucked. tbh i think the risk of overpopulation is exaggerated.
10. Lack of defensive capabilities – If we evolved in East Africa we would have no defensive capabilities to survive the environment, long before we used any type of tool A: We hid in the under brush and were considered prey animals to the early predators, while being predators to the smaller animals, such as rodents, rabbits, insects and reptiles.
chimpanzés also us tools
11. Destroying the environment – we are the only species on earth that changes and destroys its environment by doing what we do naturally A: What we are doing is not natural at all. Producing tons of plastics and throwing them into our oceans, thinking they will dissolve is merely attributed to stupidity.
on the other hand we have developed the ability to bend nature to our will a lot of the time.. but this is more of a philosophical question than a scientific question
12. Technological Leaps – The jump from Homo sapiens to modern humans is extremely short. It took us 10,000s of years to use rudimentary tools, however only 7000 years for me to use this computer
13. Chronic Illness – No other species on earth experiences chronic illness like we do A: Tell that to my cat that died of cancer.

many other animals kill other members of their species.

When I think about it, the sun is pretty strong for my eyes I could actually be from out of space.. :think:
