Did Extraterrestrials Genetically Engineer Humans?
Creationism and evolution are two popular theories of how humankind came to be. While they are perhaps the most widespread theories, there is another school of thought: Humans were created by extraterrestrials.
It may sound far-fetched at first, but, arguably, no more so than creationism or evolution. Some researchers, like Zecharia Sitchin, believe extraterrestrials genetically engineered humans to work as slaves. Others, like David Icke, hypothesize extraterrestrials are even more diabolical and have manipulated human consciousness to control the entire world. Let’s take a closer look at the different subsects of this lesser-known theory.
Reptilians
Former sports broadcaster-turned-researcher David Icke conducted extensive research on the role extraterrestrials play in human engineering.
Icke adamantly claims an extraterrestrial species, known as the Reptilians, controls our world. These menacing creatures allegedly have the power to shapeshift and take human form and have assumed the forms of political leaders to maintain global control.
Reptilian-like figures are prominent in many ancient texts — the serpent in Genesis’ Garden of Eden; the half-bird, half-snake Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoatl; and Greek mythology’s Medusa are all great examples. This recurring theme of “god-like” Reptilians could potentially indicate these creatures have been on Earth throughout human existence and perhaps played a role in creating us in the first place.
Mixed Bloodlines
Another theory explores the idea that extraterrestrials manipulated our DNA to create a mixed bloodline on our planet. The most notable piece of evidence to support this theory is something called the Rh factor.
The presence of the Rh factor in human blood makes the blood type positive, while its absence makes it negative. Most people are Rh-positive, and only 15 percent of the population does not have the Rh factor.
The Rh factor can be attributed to other species, specifically primates. The absence of it continues to remain a mystery. However, some believe it stems from extraterrestrials. Most alien abductees are Rh-negative. Is this a coincidence? It seems unlikely.
The Missing Link
“Missing link” is a popular term we’ve all heard at one point or another. It’s an informal term used to describe a transitional species, or a species that connects two together, such as apes and humans.
Gregg Braden has explored missing links and human genetic modification in depth. He publicizes the fact that human DNA shows “unmistakable signs of planning” that evolution alone cannot explain. In addition, he points to the fact that, according to the fossil record, modern, highly intelligent humans seemed to appear almost overnight about 200,000 years ago.
How did we progress so quickly from primitive apes to highly advanced beings? Is it possible that another species deliberately manipulated our genetic code?
Extraterrestrials & Genetically Modified Humans: Past, Present, and Future
Some of the aforementioned theories may sound a bit uncanny, but there is plenty of evidence that suggests extraterrestrials indeed influenced mankind. Ancient artwork, written texts like the Popol Vuh, and ancient artifacts all depict or reference otherworldly beings. Perhaps their impact is even more powerful. Perhaps we modern humans are a product of extraterrestrial engineering.
As genetic engineering continues to evolve and change over time, one can’t help but wonder if this is a new technology or if history is repeating itself. We’ve completed enormous feats throughout the years, from discovering DNA to sequencing the human genome to cloning animals and even genetically modifying human embryos.
Such incredible power and progression inevitably raise ethical concerns over whether or not we are “playing God.” Could we also be “playing alien”? It will be interesting, to say the least, to see where genetic engineering takes us next.

NASA Announces How It Will Report ET Contact
NASA Chief Bill Nelson says looking for extraterrestrial life is part of NASA’s mission, as its top scientists call for a detailed system for classifying ET life.
In a huge departure from the US government’s historical treatment of UFOs and possible ET life, NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in an interview with University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato, “[W]ho am I to say that planet Earth is the only location of a life form that is civilized and organized like ours?”
Meanwhile, top NASA scientists are calling for a scaled system for reporting any evidence of extraterrestrial life modeled after NASA’s progressive scale of Technological Readiness Level already in use for new spaceflight equipment.
Instead of the binary “life or no life” way of looking at off-planet discoveries, these scientists are suggesting a more nuanced way of reporting what they find. Cheryl Costa, retired journalist, UFO statistician, and author of the UFO Sightings Desk Reference, thinks it’s about time.
“I think it’s long overdue, they’ve been talking about this stuff for years. They know that there have been unidentified things in our skies since biblical times,” Costa said. “The fact that they’re finally owning up to the idea of classifying alien life. Their scale is going to have to run the range of organic molecules all the way up to sentient beings, so it needs to be a pretty big scale, and it’s nice to start seeing bonified scientists looking at this issue and saying ‘OK, we need to do this.'”
And what about NASA Administrator Bill Nelson’s comments?
“I think it’s refreshing that the NASA chief came out and said ‘Yeah, maybe’ on the UFOs and off-world life. I think they still know more than they’re telling us. I’m happy NASA is coming out with this stuff, I think they’re trying to feed it to us a little spoonful at a time. They don’t want to scare the populace,” Costa said.
