Our Cosmic Ancestry In The Stars

An exploration of how acceptance of panspermia will soon change history • Offers extensive scientific proof of panspermia--that life arose on Earth via comets and that evolution is seeded by viruses arriving via comets and interstellar dust • Explores the major philosophical, psychological, cultural, religious, and environmental ramifications of the acceptance of this new scientific worldview Mainstream consensus is that life arose on Earth spontaneously out of “primordial soup.” Yet this theory, as well as the Darwinian “survival of the fittest” concept as it relates to major steps in evolution, has no scientific basis or proof. Where, then, did life come from? As the authors show, with conclusive scientific evidence, life came from space--a concept known as “panspermia.” We humans, and all other life on Earth, evolved over millennia in response to viruses that arrived via comets, and we continue to do so. Exploring the philosophical, psychological, cultural, and environmental ramifications of the acceptance of panspermia, the authors show how the shift will be on par with the Copernican Revolution--when it was finally accepted that the Earth was not the center of the Universe. Explaining the origins of the panspermia theory in the work of the late Sir Fred Hoyle, the authors reveal the vast body of evidence that has accumulated over the past 4 decades in favor of the cosmic origins of life, including viral inserts found in DNA that have shaped our human genome over millions of years. They show how the tiniest of viruses, microscopic animals (tardigrades), and even seeds have been found to be natural cosmonauts. The authors also show how space-borne viruses play a crucial role in the positive evolution of life and that our entire existence on this planet is contingent on the continuing ingress of cosmic viruses. Revealing how panspermia offers answers to some of humanity’s longstanding questions about the origins of life, the authors discuss the impact this shift in understanding will have on our relationship with the Earth and on culture, history, and religion. And perhaps the most dramatic ramification of all is that acceptance of panspermia means acceptance that Earth is not unique--that other life-filled planets exist and intelligent life is common in the Universe. Not only did we come from space, but we are not alone.

The idea that life is a cosmic, rather than a purely terrestrial phenomenon, has progressed from scientific heresy to mainstream science within the short timespan of a few decades. The theory of cometary panspermia developed by Fred Hoyle and the present author in the 1970's has been vindicated by a spate of new discoveries in astronomy and biology, and also with startling new evidence of microbial fossils in meteorites and micrometeorites. The recent Kepler Telescope searches for exoplanets have indicated the presence of over 100 billion habitable planets separated by only a few light years, thus making panspermia and the transfer of microbial life between such planets an inevitable fact. The book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the Hoyle–Wickramasinghe theory of cometary panspermia in a manner accessible to a wide general readership.

Key Features:The recent estimate of some 140 billion habitable planets around red dwarf stars in the galaxy makes panspermia inevitable, so a reassessment of panspermia theories is timelyThe book is written by one of the foremost pioneers of the theory of cometary panspermia and is thus of interest to scientists across many fields, as well as to historians of scienceThe intended readership of the book ranges from science buffs to the general public with a general interest in scienceKeywords:Panspermia;Astrobiology;Comets;Origin of Life;Extraterrestrial LifeReviews: “The author is today's foremost expert on panspermia, having inherited that mantle from the iconic astronomer of the 20th century Sir Fred Hoyle who, with Wickramasinghe as his pupil, strongly re-introduced the subject in the early 1970's. He makes a compelling case for panspermia conveying a cosmic imperative for biology.” Gilbert V Levin Principal Investigator of NASA's Mars Viking Mission of 1976 Discoverer of evidence for Microbial Life on Mars Arizona State University “The book is accessible to those interested in an appreciation of a central question that spans all ages, and scientists and science students, who are seeking coverage of this pioneering subject matter. The historical approach to the subject will be appreciated by readers. The book will take you on an intellectual trek and can transform how you think about humans and the universe. Hopefully it will encourage the next generation of scholars to continue seeking an understanding of the origin of life, one of the most profound challenges for humanity.” Professor J T Trevors University of Guelph, Canada

"If life were to suddenly appear on a desert island we wouldn't claim it was randomly assembled in an organic soup or created by the hand of god; we'd conclude it washed to shore or fell from the sky. The Earth too, is an island, orbiting in a sea of space, and living creatures and their DNA have been washing to shore and falling from the sky since our planets creation" --Joseph (2000). What has taken place on Earth represents not a random evolution, but the metamorphosis and replication of living creatures which long ago lived on other planets. --Joseph 2000 "Our ancient ancestors, and their genes, journeyed here, from the stars." --Joseph 1997 The discoveries and theories detailed in this text can be summarized as follows: (1) Life on Earth has extraterrestrial origins. (2) These extraterrestrials are descendants of prokaryotes and eurkayotes which had long ago "fallen" unto other planets where they engaged in interplanetary horizontal gene exchange. (3) The genetic information for the evolution of life on Earth has extraterrestrial origins, (4) Once on Earth extraterrestrial genes, including "silent genes" and the genetic material for the generation of additional genes, were transferred into the eukaryotic genome from viruses and bacteria which "fell" to Earth and (5) and their DNA contained all the genetic information necessary for the evolution of every species which has walked, crawled, swam or slithered across this planet--including species which never evolved on Earth. (6) Over the course of evolution on Earth, various species with their "libraries" of extraterrestrial genetic information, genetically and biologically altered the environment via the liberation or secretion of oxygen and calcium and other substances which (7) acted on gene selection leading to new species adapted to a world which had been genetically engineered for their survival. (8) When sufficient oxygen, calcium etc. had been secreted, and with the formation of the ozone layer, silent and other genes were activated giving rise to the Cambrian explosion (9) and the evolution of the eye, brain and skeletal system. (10) Bacteria, archae, and viruses, and perhaps even more complex species, continually fall from space and (11) continue to insert genes, via horizontal gene transfer, into the eukaryotic genome. (12) All these factors explain the step-wise, punctuated equilibrium which characterizes evolution on this planet, leading to the multi-regional evolution and metamorphosis of numerous species of human which indicates (13) Earth was genetically seeded to "grow" every species which has appeared on Earth culminating in woman and man (14) according to the genetic principles of "evolutionary metamorphosis." -Contents- 1.

Our Cosmic Ancestors is a dynamic work unraveling the messages of these 'universal astronauts' and decoding the symbols and visual mathematics they have left for us in the Egyptian Pyramids, Stonehenge, the Mayan calendar, the Maltese Cross and the Sumerian zodiac. The book is captivating reading from beginning to end. However Mr. Chatelain's purpose in sharing these exciting discoveries lies in the hope that all humans will extend their horizons, to release fear of the unknown just enough that another generation will exhibit growing curiosity to continue the search for signs of purposeful nurturing of this planet.

This is a well illustrated book intended for the general reader and deals with the age old question of whether life exists anywhere else in the Universe, that is apart from on Earth. Until recently any attempt to answer such a question would have to be mostly speculation but international space agencies are providing new information on a regular basis. The writer examines all the latest data and discusses the subject from what we know about the evolution of life on earth. He then uses his extensive knowledge of astronomy in an effort to determine if there are similar environments elsewhere in the Universe. Recurrent themes throughout the book are life, the Universe and the interactions between the two. The twentieth century was the century in which our understanding of the Universe changed out of all recognition and the new millennium will bring equally phenomenal changes in human knowledge. This book will be of material assistance in enabling the general reader to more fully comprehend the solutions to the many unanswered questions. You will discover the true nature of the stars and the colossal scale of the Universe as well as be enthralled as the evidence of its origin becomes revealed.

This book examines the process philosophies of Whitehead and others against current discussions of astrobiology, extraterrestrial life, and their engagement by theological and religious systems.

"In this new and exciting book you'll find out the true history of earth as it connects to the suppressed history of our galaxy. In a way where science, philosophy and spirituality finally come together as one. You'll come to understand the true origin of our species, our cosmic ancestry as it relates to endless worlds, other dimensions and multiple universes. I will open up your eyes about Earth's place in the multiverse and about a greater organization of cosmos that is being orchestrated by the multiple councils that exist on every level from the central universe to the local planetary systems. Most importantly, you will have a better understanding of our reality in terms of evidence that is currently being suppressed by a controlled Academia and the scientific consensus"--Back cover.
