RED ALERT!!!! – THE HUMAN BRAIN HAS BEEN SHRINKING FOR
THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Most people don't know this but the human brain has shrunk
dramatically through the millennia of the history of mankind.
Scientists are in some disagreement as to whether this shrinkage
started thirty thousand years ago, or ten thousand years ago, but
they agree that the brain has shrunk by 8-10%. The brain has in fact
been shrinking for the past 100,000 years albeit at a slower rate.
Another conundrum for evolutionary biologists is why the human brain
'evolved' to be so big in the first place! It gobbles up an
extraordinary amount of energy. It only takes up 2% of our body
weight, but uses 20-25% of our energy intake - far more than any
other organ. The more the brain grows, the more energy and nutrients
takes away from other vital organs.

The necessity for such a large brain in evolutionary terms was
thrown in doubt by Professor John Lorber's study detailing
individuals who somehow managed to function normally with an IQ over
a hundred with nothing more than 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 the
boy's 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. The young man continued a normal life with
virtually no brain.
From over 600 scans of people with hydrocephalus Lorber documented
that just under 10% had 95% of the cranial cavity filled with
cerebrospinal fluid. Half of this group were profoundly retarded.
The remaining half had IQs greater than 100. Sceptics have claimed
that it was an error of interpretation of the scans themselves.
Lorber himself admits that reading a CAT scan can be tricky. He also
has said that he would not make such a claim without evidence. In
answer to attacks that he has not precisely measured the amount of
brain tissue missing, he added, "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."
All this brings up startling questions:
- WHY DID THE HUMAN BRAIN GROW TO BE SO UNNECESSARILY LARGE IN
TERMS OF OUR EVOLUTIONARY SURVIVAL AND PROGRESS?
- WHY DID THE BRAIN MAINTAIN THIS SIZE FOR SO LONG DESPITE THE
FACT THAT IT USED UP SO MUCH ENERGY?
- WHY DID IT SUDDENLY START TO SHRINK 30,000 YEARS AGO? IF THE
SIZE OF THE BRAIN IS A SIGN OF THE EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS OF AN
ORGANISM, DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE ARE WE NOW DEVOLVING? IF A
SMALLER BRAIN IS ALL THAT'S NECESSARY IN EVOLUTIONARY TERMS, HOW
DID THE BRAIN GET TO BE SO BIG IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I am reminded of a book called 'The Song Of The Greyseries' by Nigel
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
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.
Source: An Interview with Kerner
In 1998 when the book was published, long before this
affirmation about the shrinking brain size, he made a stunning case
for the suggestion that we did not evolve from a sea-worm. We
'devolved' from something much much better than we are now. The
large brain is just a remnant of what we once were, that's why it's
shrinking. Kerner also suggests that the 95% of the human genome
that does not seem to code for proteins was also at one time in the
ancient past used in full. We have, in other words, lost 95% of our
potential through devolution.
This is not the first time I've found confirmations for stuff in
this book. Kerner insists in the book that human lineage includes a
Neanderthal input. Research into mitochondrial DNA claimed to prove
that this was impossible. But research published last year suggests
that Neanderthals may well have contributed to the human gene pool
after all. ('The Neanderthal Within' - New Scientist 03 March
In fact several of Kerner's suggestions in the book seem to be have
come almost prophetically true since the book was written. I read it
last year and the amount of things he mentions that have already
happened is unbelievable.
Kerner's not a creationist though thank God!! If he were I'd have
put the book down sharpish. He suggests that the difference between
us and the animals is freedom of scope, freedom to know, be aware of
and make a vast range of choices outside the status quo. So, if we
are 'devolving', we had more freedom of scope in the past and if you
trace that right back to our beginnings, we would have been
perfectly free with no limit. That perfect freedom you could call
'God' and Kerner
does. But the refreshing difference is that he says we made our own
free choices to understand what it might be like not to be perfectly
free. We chose to experience the one thing we couldn't experience
from the state of perfect freedom – limit. If 'God' is all knowing,
says Kerner, then that knowing would kind of have to include a
knowledge of what it's like not to know all. Sound strange? It won't
if you read
the book and see the full argument. It was just what I was looking
for, as I could never relate to a creator God, but could never
figure how our existence could be explained without one.
So basically, Kerner says that humankind in the past was a less hard
wired more ephemeral sort of being that gradually devolved into a
more and more physical type of being through the action of the
second law of thermodynamics, with time, to a point where we became
a sort of monkey man.
Another angle on this is his radical and extraordinary theory
involving the Grey aliens that feature in reports of alien
abduction. He suggests that when we reached our current
devolutionary point we became susceptible to interference by these
entities that come from elsewhere in the universe. These alien
biological robots (he calls 'roboids') are, he says, genetically
engineering us to serve their purposes to this day. This
interference has modified our present form of Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Could the creation story of Adam & Eve describe just such a genetic
engineering exercise, he asks. Could the taking of Adam's rib to
make Eve describe a cloning procedure?
He claims there were many more of these genetic interceptions
previous to this. All of them leading to a point where these alien
things harvest some of us for what he calls our 'soul fields'. A
'soul' is the only eternal mechanism in 'a universe of diminishing
returns', as Kerner puts it.
He asks: Could we have DNA codes in us now that bear the hallmark of
that interception? He then names specific DNA codes, they call them
trinucleotide repeats and alas, they seem to resemble something that
a cloning mechanism would produce. The biggest irony, he says, is
that the Greys don't realise that they can't, with physical means,
get a handle on something that's not physical, simply because they
only understand the physical. So the tragedy lies in the damage they
trying to reach what they can't reach. Converting us, via abduction
and genetic manipulation, to be more like them, in the vain hope
that they can bridge into our souls that way. Making us, in other
words, more like machines.
Kerner gives evidence to show that the great religious teachers,
including Christ, came to warn us of this fact. More disturbingly he
claims the UFO phenomenon is in fact the harbinger of this
mal-intent on the part of this alien power and it continues to this
day. A continuity that may well end in the final harvest of those
suggests are the more suitable types of human for an alien purpose:
The 'Euro-Caucasian' genotype.
Read this hugely interesting book and you'll find it explains most
of the conundrums we now face through scientific discoveries and
actually ties in and affirms religious belief in a Godhead, in a way
that is quite brilliantly logical. The book was first published in
1998 so it's out of print, but I searched around and found that you
can still get it from the book's website
I bought this
book for every member of my family. I believe it is the greatest
favour I could do them in this world.
Bigger brains than necessary, shrinking brains with time,
I don't think so.

Is Our Species Decaying? by Nigel
Worth a Look
a Vedic alternative to Darwin's theory
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.
