Denisovan Origins

Hybrid Humans, Göbekli Tepe, and the Genesis of the Giants of Ancient America

De: Andrew Collins, Gregory L. Little

Narrado por: Micah Hanks

Reveals the profound influence of the Denisovans and their hybrid descendants upon the flowering of human civilization around the world

• Traces the migrations of the sophisticated Denisovans and their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations more than 40,000 years ago
• Shows how Denisovan hybrids became the elite of ancient societies, including the Adena mound-building culture
• Explores the Denisovans’ extraordinary advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, and celestially-aligned architecture

Ice-age cave artists, the builders at Göbekli Tepe, and the mound-builders of North America all share a common ancestry in the Solutreans, Neanderthal-human hybrids of immense sophistication, who dominated southwest Europe before reaching North America 20,000 years ago. Yet, even before the Solutreans, the American continent was home to a powerful population of enormous stature, giants remembered in Native American legend as the Thunder People. New research shows they were hybrid descendants of an extinct human group known as the Denisovans, whose existence has now been confirmed from fossil remains found in a cave in the Altai region of Siberia.

Tracing the migrations of the Denisovans and their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, Andrew Collins and Greg Little explore how the new mental capabilities of the Denisovan-Neanderthal and Denisovan-human hybrids greatly accelerated the flowering of human civilization over 40,000 years ago. They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication. Examining evidence from ancient America, the authors reveal how Denisovan hybrids became the elite of the Adena mound-building culture, explaining the giant skeletons found in Native American burial mounds. The authors also explore how the Denisovans’ descendants were the creators of a cosmological death journey and viewed the Milky Way as the Path of Souls.

Revealing the impact of the Denisovans upon every part of the world, the authors show that, without early man’s hybridization with Denisovans, Neanderthals, and other yet-to-be-discovered hominid populations, the modern world as we know it would not exist.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Collins and Little are the perfect team to address one of humanity’s greatest enigmas.... From giant skeletons to the mysterious mound builders of ancient America, this team assembles the lost pieces of the human time line." (Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, award-winning New York Times best-selling author and documentary film director)

"Andrew Collins and Greg Little are two of the most respected writers in the ancient mysteries subject. They team up to provide a comprehensive account of the enigmatic Denisovans and their impact on the emergence of modern human society. If they are correct in their findings, as I very much suspect they are, then they have discovered a missing chapter in our knowledge of the emergence of civilization, both in the ancient world and - as I put forward in my own book America Before - in the Americas." (Graham Hancock, author of the New York Times best seller America Before)

Thanks for the questions.

Like any good treatise it raises more questions than it answers. Like, why the snobbery in traditional studies of archaic civilizations. … and how to details in North American civilizations connect worldwide? How would there be a land bridge with all the ice had melted raising sea level’s?

There was more before you ...

It is just utterly amazing to stay up to date with new finds and insights. We evolved from such diverse and interesting backgrounds it is just so hard to come to grips we all lost track of how to be ‘human’.

Interesting

I have been interested in the origins of South American populations for some time. This book and the authors findings seem to shed more light on these first peoples quite well. So much more research must be done to be sure. But this book helps me get a better picture of human movement out of Africa. I hope to read more as the details become available.

Refreshingly comprehensive

Satisfying to read a book that can rise above entrenched ideas and present data that conflicts with broadly defended ideas that have led to confirmation bias limiting our understanding of discoveries that don’t reinforce what has been perceived as known facts.

Intense, amazing

Very dense book - it took me 2 false starts to really get into it but well worth it. Combines well with the recent work of Graham Hancock and Freddy Silva.

Lots and lots of well-researched information regarding the history of humanity and excellent information on The Americas which I hadn’t heard before.

Great read

I have studied this material for over 40 years this book stitched many of the questions I had together it is a great theory

interesting discussion of ancient people

I was put on alert by a very few comments about space aliens. However, overall I was impressed by the wide array of information about early humans, especially in the America's. Also fascinating was the discussion of the relation between mound builders and early ideas of religion and afterlife.

Very Interesting

There seems to be a lot of good information in here and it is delivered in a manner that allows the points to build. Some of the speculation is presented as fact even when acknowledging that it isn't. If you are curious about things that you won't learn in school this book is a good escape. I will be digging deeper to see if I can corroborate some of the more fantastic information.

the new old world

Humans won the last man standing ordeal. Humans had a struggle with other humanoids, who were smarter, stronger, and had been around on earth longer at that time, than we have been sense then. They survived tens of thousands of years, had knowledge and experience we could really use today. they still lost the battle of civilization. Their world lyes under 4oo feet of ocean. that's where we'll find Atlantis and Mu. the side story of this book to me is we know more about the moon and mars, than we do about earth 400 feet off and below the coast lines of our dry land. The survivors of the younger dryas epoch shared their knowledge and their DNA with humans and we created a new civilization. Did you ever wonder where DNA for red hair came from? The vocabulary is college level reading but you can get it easily. The reader goes fast You might want to adjust the speed. I like to read Graham Hancock in this jaundra best. however Collins and Little are good to. Storch would be good to if he would write in a similar style, and put notes, bibliography and such at the end of the book like everyone else does.

One of the best yet!

By far one of the most interesting story lines in human evolution and the populating of the Americas. The narration could have been better as the guy was in a hurry the whole way through but I slowed it down to about 80% which made it easier to follow.

I look forward to listening to more works from Andrew Collins.
