Higher intelligence, and in our ancient texts, there are different ways of looking at that. Are we talking about gods? Are we talking about angels? Are we talking about Nephilim? That's a whole conversation. The point, higher intelligence intervened, and we know this. Now, I want to be really clear. Are you okay if we have this conversation, this part? Do we have time?
So, as a geologist, I believe in evolution. So I'm not anti-evolution. I've seen it in the fossil record when I did my field work. I saw it for plants, insects, animals. Darwin's theory of evolution breaks down when it comes to humans. We showed up mysteriously 200,000 years ago, and we don't know where we came from. What we do know, now that we have, we can do what's called forensic DNA.

And this is only within the last few years. We can look at our genome and look backwards, reverse engineer what had to happen to give us our humanness. For me, the smoking gun, there are a couple, but I think the one that is the most outstanding and probably the most controversial is human chromosome number two. And I write about this in the new book.

What we know, so human chromosome two, it's the second largest chromosome in our nucleus. It's a big, long chromosome. It has about 1,200 genes, and I won't go through all of them, but a couple, I mean, even one, gene TBR1, TBR1, is responsible for the neocortex in the human brain. I mean, that is where our humanness comes from, empathy, sympathy, compassion.

It is where our logic capabilities, where the mirror neurons that we use for learning, they're all contained in that neocortex. It is where, I mean, there's so much happening in the neocortex. And that's just from TBR1. So it's an important chroma. We wouldn't be here if we didn't have it. And so scientists say, well, where did it come from? Well-

Now, the proceedings from National Academy of Sciences, this is a volume called Genetics, they know the answer, and they don't like the answer. Because they say, and this is important, when a scientist makes a discovery they want credit for, and they're proud of, they will say, look at what I discovered.

When they make a discovery that they may lose their tenure for, or that little controversy around it, they'll say, look at what we discovered. So proceedings National Academy of Sciences, the summary actually says, we conclude the origin of human chromosome two is from the fusion of the telomere to telomere fusion of two ancient chromosomes.

All right, telomeres, I know our viewers know, telomeres are on the ends of the chromosome to protect them. When the cell divides, it's a trauma for the cell. If you could imagine, the chromosomes are pulled apart. And there's a part of the chromosome, every chromosome, that is not going to make it in that pulling apart. And that means there's a potential to lose important DNA.
