In another article, we discussed the possibility that Earth is a prison planet with the Moon as its guardian. Suddenly, Dr. Ellis Silver stipulates a theory that corroborates the prison part of that article.
Furthermore, Dr. Silver’s theory comes to give credit to older theories maintaining that the human being is not natural on this planet.
All of these theories are based on the differences between man and all the other species that inhabit the planet. Dr. Silver’s theory focuses on the claim that mankind is not suited to live on this planet, along with behavioral patterns that suggest as if we are here as a sort of punishment.
We will discuss Silver’s observations in conjunction with the rest of the theories in order to extract a conclusion. The basic elements of all the theories put together are:
1. Bad backs
Silver claims that the problems that spine and back problems humans face are a clear indication that our original environment is one of lower gravity. Earth’s higher gravity puts a strain in our skeleton and the result is the back pains.
2. Sunlight
Humans, in contrast with other species, cannot sunbathe for more than a given time per day without getting sunburned. According to Silver, this indicates that the human body was not designed for constant exposure to the sun.
3. Illnesses
Dr. Silver stipulates that humans are always ill because they evolved on a 25 hour per day environment instead of 24 as on Earth, and they have not adapted yet. The older theories add to this concept than in many cases, when there is an illness, humans are disabled and cannot carry out their workload, which rarely occurs in the other species.
4. Dislike of the Earth environment
Many people have a profound dislike for all foods that are naturally grown. An equal amount of people do not feel that Earth is their home. Many have reported visions and dreams of other worlds with other circumstances and other living conditions much better than even the best conditions available on Earth. Dr. Silver sees is as an even further indication of human beings been brought here from someplace else.
5. Birth difficulty
Babies’ heads are too large, which presents a problem to women when there are giving birth, a problem which may result in fatalities to both the mother and the infant.
6. Growing up
Dr. Silver does not mention this point, which is a major issue for the older theories. In all species that inhabit the Earth, the offspring is capable of doing things in a relatively short time, which may vary from just a few minutes to eight weeks after birth.
Human offspring are completely helpless and powerless to do anything for at least ten years before acquiring some capabilities. It takes another five to ten years before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around. Something that is never seen in all other species put together.
7. Advances
The human being does something that no other species has been observed doing – we use external tools to overcome our physical shortcomings. Has anyone ever seen an elephant with an artificial leg? Or an owl wearing real glasses?
8. Behavior
Lions and the other carnivores will hunt to eat and they will engage in fights almost always for reasons of reproduction. Most fights in the animal kingdom are actually for reproduction and areas for feeding. And whenever there is a fight, when the victor is declared, the fight is over.
There is no observance in any other species than the human being for retaliatory attacks, pre-emptive strikes, and most of all weapon construction in ever-increasing lethal potential. Unless anyone has ever seen a mouse with an M-16 at hand and never bothered to inform anyone about it.
According to these theories, this is the most important argument to suggest that mankind is not from here. The inherently violent nature.
As stated by a World War II journalist in condemnation of mankind: “People kill each other because they like to.” (Ernie Pyle, war correspondent – responding to a question posed by Maj. General John P. Lucas). He went on to say that when someone kills someone else, he lives that moment more vividly than any other moment of his life. At that specific moment, he is more than he will ever be again. Has anyone ever observed this kind of behavior in any other species?
Dr. Silver puts this issue into mankind being sent to a prison-like Earth until we learn to behave ourselves. It seems that after 4,000 years of recorded history, things are getting worse, not better.
The book that Dr. Silver published, as per his own words, is not a study, but ideas for debate. Strangely, this book resonates with other controversial theories like:
- Mankind landed on Earth on starships to escape a destroyed world.
- Mankind is brought here from a reverse universe, either through a random occurrence or through intentional action.
- Mankind is brought here as an experiment of evolution.
These theories will be discussed along with their features in future articles. The focus on this one is whether there is validity to the claim that we did not evolve on this planet.
Why Is Dr. Silver’s Theory Unplausible?
As expected, the theory was met with criticism and skepticism from other scientists. For example, Dr. Silver completely neglects the fact that humans share a big percentage of their DNA with other living beings on Earth.
But there were also favorable opinions like the one of Prof Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield. According to him, life is constantly brought to Earth from other worlds. In any case, Dr. Silver’s arguments are rather weak and should be perceived more as an extravagant idea to entertain one’s mind rather than solid evidence.
Until science finds irrefutable proof as to the origin of mankind, there will always be evidence and circumstances in favor of one theory or another. But it is beyond any reasonable doubt that man is quite a different species than any other of this planet. Science will have to prove why.

Some of us are from all over the multiverse and some of us are even here on missions! gasp! lols! This is not new news to the awakened crowd. Thanks.
It’s because they are only carnal and have yet to be awakened to their spiritual existence where all truth is known. Mankind is in need of remembered center :)
…in my opinion
Katherine, so agree with you! I’ve had the belief for years that we are sent here with missions!Always been fascinated with the beyond.
Interesting theories however it fails to critically look at other possibilities. For example bad backs do not affect everyone… Could it be a lifestyle choice causing the spine issues? The birth risks with the big head theory again hasn’t looked to nature. I have seen cows birthing with the same issues, elephants have big heads compared to birth canal also. And so on.
Through many years of Reiki’ and other forms of meditation and healing have come to believe that I originate from planet Lyra in the Pleiades Constellation.
I’ve even been there several times through Lucid Dreaming and Astral travel, this might sound insane to some, but as you said for the Awakened this makes sense.
Now I don’t resonate with all that Dr. Silver states (I don’t agree with his statement on illness. I say; Healthy mind=healthy body) but I do agree with that this is another experiment. A HUMAN experiment. We either learn to live together in peace or perish. Of course there is much more to this experiment.
if we didn’t evolve on this planet then would anyone care to explain why 90% of our DNA is exactly the same as every living thing on the planet including bacteria plants and fungi
People only use 8-10% of their DNA according to Science. Maybe the rest was put in by whoever made us.
You made a good comment…, followed by a ridiculous religous one counterproductive
People use only that percentage NOW! That doesn’t mean that with further evolution we won’t be able to use more…….
“◾Mankind landed on Earth on starships that escaped a destroyed world.”
Really? And we forgot all about that wonderful advancede technology?? Seriously?? We are not like other species, because we evolved from beings animals ourselves…And that evolution means among other things, bigger brains/heads, etc, etc… It means we evolved intelectually and phisically we lost some abilities… By the way, there are so many people who have no back problems or sme of the other problems mentioned…
Maybe our DNA is common in our type of life-form throughout the universe. We are carbon based type life. There are theories about silicon based type life…
i agree with Tom here we are carbon based lifeforms like everything else on this planet with the same amount of base pairs in our cells, both of those facts are holes in this theory and supports that all life on this planet evolved from something very basic
I came to make a comment that the idea is no controversial, that “It’s the truth, it’s actual, Ev’rything is satisfactual”, but you make a very interesting observation. There is a lot of evidence that we came here from somewhere else via Mars and that our genetic makeup has been deliberately altered at various times. One predominant theory is that we are a hybrid of primates that grew up here with aliens. There is also the idea that most life in this galaxy was seeded from one place to another via various space objects, since it has been discovered that some microorganisms can survive such a trip. So, things are not that simple, and “all of the above” could be the right answer.
All of these reasons have a simple explanation. Why would we share 98.7% of our DNA with a chimpanzee if we are not very closely related and share a common ancestor just a few million years back.
It could even be that we humans are like a slow acting virus for the earth and have the job of destroying it
Actually humans are very similar to mammals who live in ‘packs’ – dogs, elephants, horses, dolphins, apes – the list goes on. They have love, envy and complex relationships but what humans have is language, and as a result, the ability to imagine, predict and remember with greater scope and accuracy, as well as compound knowledge with writing and spoken word.
Why do we speak? Again, it’s precisely because humans evolved to exist in these ‘pack-like’ groups: Who else would you want to ‘talk’ with in such a way? Lizards? Trees? There is nothing other-worldly about our evolution in my opinion.
That’s what happens when we transgress against the Law :)
Thank the Most High that all sin (debt) has been bought with a price :)
When our thoughts (what we say) match simultaneously with the waves of our heart (what we do) and live in the now is where all power resides for all to benefit.
There is a law for every thought where we have at times been fooled that any of it pertains to you now.
Makes one wonder, however. Why have we consistently failed to recover and identify a fossil record of the missing link between humans ans pre-humans?
You can literally walk into any appropriate muesem & see for your own eyes though?! You should ask for a Richard Dawkins book for x-mas.
Another possibility is that our DNA is not natural, but was genetically altered by some kind of alien species.
This man is a fool so many gaps in the theory. Does the fossil record just not exist anymore.
Were you born yesterday? Are you fool enough to think we’ve just arrived??? I’m thinkin’ we’ve been here a few thousands of years myself. Remember from your science class….the flow of water erodes that which it flows upon.
Millions of years is a more appropriate time scale. I vote for “all of the above”.
all the points here are disputable, Dr.Silver clearly has lost his marbles, time for him to start searching.
Is Dr. Silver a scientologist or something?
Okay I am a new ager and a pretty open minded person when it comes to spirituality and new ideas about existence. However, I also rely on science and things THAT ARE LOGICAL, which this theory is not.
Look, I have heard of people who say they don’t feel like they are from here (starseeds, indigo children, etc.) This is a psychological and spiritual thing. The points Dr. Silver made have to do with biology. Biology and consciousness coincide, however they are two very different things.
Alright let’s do this:
1. Bad backs come from bad posture and other factors from over time. Exposure to heavy lifting, strenuous physical activity, etc.. There are many factors but gravity is not one of them.
2. Not designed for constant exposure to the sun? Tell the people in Africa that then. Melanin is a compound in our skin that develops to protect us from UV rays. That is why our skin gets darker when exposed to the sun. So we naturally develop a protective barrier. Humans are naturally tropical beings, we NEED sunlight!
3. “humans are always ill because they evolved on a 25 hour per day environment instead of 24 as on Earth, and they have not adapted yet.”… Are you serious? … I have no words. *2 minutes later* I take that back, I do have some. First of all here’s a definition of time: “the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.” So time is a measurement, how would this effect our immune system? Exactly, it doesn’t! Our immune system status is reflected from our environment, not time. Please learn biology and human anatomy before coming up with an outlandish statement. I will repeat: Time, which is a measurement, does not effect our immune system. Your environment, diet, and exposure to microorganisms do!
4. “Many people have a profound dislike for all foods that are naturally grown.” FALSE. The diet of our ancestors was 100% natural foods, and that is the way is was for thousands of years. Humans are naturally hunter-gatherers; leaning more towards plant based foods for optimal health, as our ancestors knew. Humans love fruit! Only in the last 60 years a majority of humans (especially here in the U.S.) do not have a good diet consisting of natural foods. This is due to mass production and fast food. As a culture we have been exposed to loads of sugars, preservatives, sodium, etc..that it has become physically and psychologically addictive. So the dislike comes from modern production, not because we are not from this planet.
Some People may not feel like they are from here because of social issues, or other reasons (see what I wrote above). I do believe in reincarnation so maybe it has to do with a past life. I don’t know..there’s too many reasons for this argument and it would have to dive deep into psychology and philosophy, which I don’t have time for.
5. *facepalm* Birth is painful, but a woman’s body knows how to do it. The vagina naturally dilates to make way for the infant. If your statement was true, our population would not be over 7 billion on earth due to fatalities from birth being common.
6. So by your statement, humans can’t start carrying their own weight until age 20? What do you even mean by that? As in getting a job, our own place, and financially supporting ourselves? If so then yeah. If you mean feeding ourselves, getting things ourselves, and other things that require motor skills, the no. I’m not even going to go on about this.
7. “uses external ways to overcome his physical shortcomings”. Yes we are very intelligent and have come a long way with technology over time. In primitive days we sharpened the ends of sticks for hunting, we made all sorts of tools for our advancement. Even in the Victorian days inventions were pretty cool. In the last 50 years technology has exploded with awesomeness. However, just because we are very intelligent and enlightened does not mean we are not from earth.
8. Because of language, science, religion, other cultural reasons, humans can be violent towards each other. We are aware of our emotions, we do not fight based on survival as other species in the animal kingdom do. So Dr. Silver is right on that. However saying that this is a reason we are not from earth is again ridiculous.
We did not land in spaceships. An experiment? Could be..
Bottom line: Humans did evolve on earth. We are biologically designed to live and survive on this planet. Science has proven this. Dr. Silver has no evidence to back up his outlandish theory.
[1. Bad backs The problems that mankind faces with its spine and back are a clear indication that the original environment is one of lower gravity. Earth’s higher gravity puts strain in the skeleton and the result is the back pains.]
Wrong, it’s that our spines are held upright.
[2. Sunlight Humans, in contrast with other species, cannot sunbath for more than a given time per day without getting sunburned. This indicates that the human body was not designed for constant exposure to the sun.]
Lack of body hair is the reason. Certain breeds of dogs and cats that lack hair have the same problem, and even fur covered animals can suffer sun burns.
[3. Illnesses Dr. Silver stipulates that humans are always ill because they evolved on a 25 hour per day environment instead of 24 as on Earth, and they have not adapted yet. The older theories add to this concept, than in many cases, when there is an illness, humans are disabled and cannot carry out their work load, which rarely occurs in the other species.]
Most species on Earth have a circadian cycle that is longer than 24 hours.
[4. Dislike of the Earth environment Many people have a profound dislike for all foods that are naturally grown. An equal amount of people do not feel that Earth is their home. Many have reported visions and dreams of other worlds with other circumstances and other living conditions much better than even the best conditions available on Earth. This is even further indication of human beings been brought here from someplace else.]
Only with the introduction of science fiction and realistic portrayals of alien worlds. As to the foods, processed foods include more of what we’re hard-wired by evolution on Earth to crave.
[5. Birth difficulty Babies’ heads are too large, which presents a problem to women when there are giving birth, a problem which may result in fatalities to both the mother and the infant.]
Not actually unique to humans. There are quite a few species where this is a problem, and for some it’s because of the size of the offspring’s head.
[6. Growing up Dr. Silver does not mention this point, which is a major issue for the older theories. In all species that inhabit the Earth, the offspring is capable of doing things in a relatively short time, which may vary from just a few minutes to eight weeks after birth. Human offspring is completely helpless and powerless to do anything for at least ten years before acquiring some capabilities. It takes another five to ten years before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around. Something that is never seen in all other species put together.]
Again, not unique to humans, and is in fact very well understood through evolution on Earth.
[7. Advances The human being does something that no other species has been observed doing – he uses external ways to overcome his physical shortcomings. Has anyone ever seen an elephant with an artificial leg? Or an owl wearing real glasses?]
Also not unique to humans. Other animals do in fact use tools to offset limitations to their bodies. We just were pushed further through natural selection on Earth.
[8. Behavior Lions and the other carnivores will hunt to eat and they will engage in fights almost always for reasons of reproduction. Most fights in the animal kingdom are actually for reproduction and areas for feeding. And whenever there is a fight, when the victor is declared, the fight is over. There is no observance in any other species than the human being for retaliatory attacks, pre-emptive strikes, and most of all weapon construction in ever increasing lethal potential. Unless anyone has ever seen a mouse with an M-16 at hand and never bothered to inform anyone about it.]
This last one is stunningly wrong. Chimps and other intelligent animals have long since been observed fighting and killing over non-food and non-sex motives. Killing for sport is not at all uncommon. Then there are the animals that rape animals of other species to death. Reproduction isn’t the motive, just gratification.
What the article author appears to have no understanding of at all is that our chemistry is exactly like all other species on the Earth. We use the same twenty amino acids our of a possible two hundred, the same nucleic acids [when other XNA’s have been proven possible] and the other essential monomers of Earth life all within human beings.
Humans evolved on Earth. There is ample fossil and DNA records to prove this. We share similar DNA with many of the animal species on this planet.
Multi-Verse had not in anyway been proven.
Alien life had not been proven.
Humans evolving on Earth has been proven.
It is possible for us and many plant species to have arrived here from somewhere else on the scale of a million years ago, and evolved from there, preserving what we see in the fossil record.
Humans evolving on earth has not been proven. Same with the rest of the topics on this site. Just because a bunch of people claim there is proof, doesn’t mean it exists. If any of you want wisdom, pick up a King James bible, begin reading it, and follow it. If you want understanding, believe that Jesus is God per the King James bible and ask him for wisdom and understanding. Or, continue believing nonsense. The choice is yours. Remember, the proof is in the fruit (or consequence of action).
This is stupid and “Dr. Silver” needs to have his head examined.
A “mouse with an M16?” An “owl with an artificial let?” Seriously? That’s your argument?
We humans make tools, we walk upright, and we have big brained babies. We are genetically related to all other species on this planet.
Oh, and other species DO engage in retaliatory, pre-emptive and punitive attacks. Look at lions vs hyenas, chimpanzees vs other troops, and cape buffalos vs pretty much everything.
I think that there is some validity to the concept that we are not designed for Earth…our noses are better acclimated for swimming while our lungs are clearly not, we have a tendency for allergic reactions, and *it would appear* that we are one of the most intelligent species as far as being self aware.
I believe humans and the related sub types may have been the result of genetic experimentation, whereby the genetic material of a higher intelligence/alien was crossed with indigenous Earthly species, such as the primates (we share a lot of DNA and common physical features with some of them) and perhaps a pig (we have their pink skin, big noses and our internal organs are layed out almost identically). This is why we are so much more advanced than any other species on Earth despite not being here nearly as long.
This earth was made for us. Our pre-earth life shows that we are made with what scientists now call “dark matter.” We are here on a probation to prove what we choose. This is the most evil planet in this universe. There is a veil which separates us from other worlds, and other people in the universe, to protect those people from us. We were made to have joy and enjoy each day, to lovingly care for each other. We were made with love, and this earth is not a prison. No guardian moon is necessary. Those who placed us in the bodies our mothers made for us have done this since the beginning of earth time. The earth,our bodies, the wonders of the world were made for us. The other creatures of this world were made as part of our “learning experience.” Other creatures on this earth are not here to learn from us, but to help us learn, and they do so at their peril. Creatures of the earth have chosen to help us and know how terrible we can be. We truly are children of the universe, and not matured very much at all. It behooves us to choose well, does it not? We must pass this life test. Being free from our bodies after death is a bondage. Being reunited with our bodies is a freedom,if we choose well.
Dr Silver is either insane or trying to make a career out of exploiting the ignorant dunning-kreugers who think they understand nature and the universe without spending any time actually learning about either. Prison planet? Maybe. But the ‘evidence’ presented is either misinterpreted or just downright wrong. Professor Wainwrights discovery involves small particles of biological matter arriving from space, a perfectly reasonable idea which may or may not turn out to be correct. This is very different from large (human sized) lifeforms being transported here by aliens. I’m relieved so many people aren’t buying into this drivel.
I know for a fact I was born here so this is my home. I think the universe has always existed and current life forms exist on multiple planets. There may even be planets out there crawling with dinosaurs similar to Earth 60 million years ago. There may be oxygen rich planets with giant bugs. The possiblities are limitles. I think aliens brought some species here. I think we’re here to grow, get smarter. I know that this planet is our home, and we must protect it.
I’m sorry to say that while I believe in many levels of being this article is nothing but speculative horse-do-do.
Bad backs? that’s from sitting down too much.
Sunlight? does the author know of black people?
Illness: Humans are always ill – JUST WRONG.
Dislike of Earth? Wouldn’t we all feel it? How come I’ve never met anyone like that and most people I know love the earth?
Birth difficulty? How would this be different on another planet?
Growing Up? “It takes another five to ten years before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around.” WHAT? My one year old nephew is walking.
Advances: Many other animals have been observed using tools, even if they haven’t, how do you leap to the conclusion we are from another planet?
Weapon use: Monkeys have been recorded throwing stones, using sticks as weapons.
We may well be from another planet, but this article is spurious nonsense and fails comprehensively to suggest any credible proof of the theory.
