Invasion

Watching the 1978 movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" something caught my attention that I found peculiar...

While I'm well aware that this is a fictional movie wherein the human race is being replaced one by one with clones devoid of emotion (that right there should be symbolic enough!), one of the characters says something so 'matter-of-factly' that it was hard for me not to stop and think "wait, what did she just say?":

[Nancy] They could get into us and screw up our genes like DNA, recombine us, change us.

[Elizabeth] Oh, of course! This is the same way those rockets landed years ago so those spacemen could mate with monkeys and create the human race. It's happening now!

After the line, the movie immediately carries on to the next scene without missing a beat or even providing a moment for reflection on the rather bold statement.

I'm definitely not claiming to know how the human race was created; I'm not certain anyone really can. However, a noteworthy amount of supporting evidence exists throughout many different ancient texts and cultures which, in some form or another, all seemingly agree with this basic concept.

I don't believe that the so-called 'spacemen' came here and simply 'mated' with monkeys... but genetic manipulation is certainly plausible, especially if we're talking about a highly advanced civilization (curious how primates have 24 pairs of chromosomes and humans only 23, no?).

Perhaps the 'missing link' isn't missing at all... just absent...
