The Evolution of Man: From Ape to Human to Alien

This is the first blog posting not directly related to naming the decade. However, as a forward thinker, I wanted to present an idea that has existed inside of me for a long period of time. The idea is about how the Evolution of Man, where by men evolved from Apes will eventually lead men to evolve into aliens. I have never read an article or story about this concept, so I want to present my small vision on this intriguing idea.

Man has always had a fascination with aliens. This fascination was only encouraged by Hollywood. Whether an extraterrestrial being, or a person from another plant, man has always sought UFOs and aliens. But nobody has really described and tried to uncover the idea that aliens are humans in the future. While human evolution can be f

The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, primatology, linguistics and genetics. Whereas, the new alien evolution is the future foresight that man will become aliens by either important physical transformations by choice or by needs makes man evolve into the alien form we come to recognize.

You see most of science fiction leads men on a quest to accomplish what only the imagination has created. Face transplants, flight, teleportation, space travel and laser beams are only a few distinct examples of what man has only once thought about but overtime has scientifically worked to achieve these vast imaginations. We flight.

Let's take this step by step and see if our idea can be explained further.

Big Alien Eyes

The alien face is the most recognizable aspect of an alien. We see the big large eyes which give off the spooky alien look. But how would this look be replicated or encouraged mankind to recreate and tamper with them. Well it is a known fact that a bee's eyes see a different part of the light spectrum mostly ultraviolet light. Humans see visible light, or simple light. It might be possible to genetically engineer our eyes to see a different portion of the light spectrum. Including radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray. So who's is to say that we can not genetically engineer our eyes to see a different portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Green Skin

Next up, is the green skin. Our alien imagination always depicts aliens with green skin. Well, this is an easy one to explain through genetic engineering. Our world is made up with many plants, trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae which are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The mostly obtain energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. Is it possible to cross humans with plants and genetically engineer our human makeup with plants, whereas we future humans obtain energy via photosynthesis too? It could be possible and by genetically engineering ourselves with plants, it would give our bodies the green skin. This slow man-made evolution could start a natural evolution eliminating the need for teeth and big mouths. Our mouths would get smaller due to the lack of a tung. Overall, photosynthesis could make our bodies smaller in size, lack of protein and muscle mass.
