We have deep intuition, direct access to our subconscious for affirmations and healings on demand.

There are instead a series of very precise genetic mutations that are responsible for the neocortex (the largest part of the human brain), which gives us empathy, sympathy, compassion, deep intuition, and perhaps most important, an extraordinary potential to self-regulate our emotions, our bodies, and our healing in a way that no other form of life can do.įor example, we have the ability to activate and direct our powerful immune systems. There’s no long, slow evolutionary path leading to us. The science is showing us now that what are called Anatomically Modern Humans appeared on this earth 200,000 years ago, and the DNA that we have today and the DNA from what we were 200,000 years ago hasn’t changed. The DNA evidence that’s now available through new technology tells us that our DNA is not descended from Neanderthals, for example, or linked to these other forms of life.

The truth is, we don’t know what happened. For many people it’s always been a binary choice: If it’s not evolution as Darwin suggested, then it must be creationism. Thinking about evolution, about where we come from, is a very emotionally charged issue. They’re believed to exist but they haven’t been proven. The Smithsonian Institution, for example, says these are speculative or inferred relationships. They are dashed lines because no physical evidence has been found to date to support that connection. But if you look closely at the lines that connect them to us, you’ll see they’re never solid lines. We’re told that we are descended from these other forms of hominids, like Neanderthal and Australopithecus. When you look at what’s called the evolutionary tree, it looks like the branches of a tree connecting all these different forms of life to us-and we’re at the top of the tree. When I was in school back in the 1960s and 1970s, I was told that evolution is our story too. I’ve seen it in the fossil record with various forms of plants and animals. I am a degreed geologist with a strong background in the life and earth sciences, and I believe in evolution. It took me 32 years to write my new book, Human by Design (Hay House, 2017), because it’s taken that long for the science to catch up with the evidence. In such a world, we’re insignificant and powerless beings.

That story tells us that we live in a world based upon competition and conflict and that we are the product of random mutations-essentially an accident of biology.

But what if those stories aren’t true? There’s a huge story that the Western world has told itself about human origins that we now know is simply not supported by the evidence.įor those of us who have been educated in the West in the past 150 years, Darwin’s theory of evolution-the survival of the fittest-has been a primary theme. All of us live our lives, choose our relationships, heal our bodies, and solve our problems based upon the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
