Humans engineered? Unusual biology & cultural dissonance

[Udjat]

I have heard that we don't even belong to this planet and that we come from somewhere else, maybe the red planet. Yes, we are different than the porcupine, fish, lizard, ant, etc. and it seems as though we really don't belong here on this planet. And maybe we are from some where else.

The way I think about humans, especially after witnessing the things that I have seen, I truly think that we started from somewhere else, came here and conquered what ever form of life that was close to being like us. We destroyed them and then the true being from this planet exist no more. It has happened this way within our "own" race of beings over, and over and over again. We are quite predictable creatures. It seems as though we are pretty adaptable creatures, more so than what a pelican, or a turtle would be. Especially from drastic environmental changes. The "human" always finds a way to survive, or else we wouldn't be talking on this forum right now.

Yes I am a "spiritual" person I would say, so when you bring this portion in to the mix it really seems to change a bit what I just had written. Or does it? I know many "spiritual" people that would confirm that they are spiritual, but they next thing you know those same people (hypothetically) go and murder someone. What then, what would the perspective be? Good energies, bad energies, all of that and more you could throw in the mix to try and explain away "what, why and who" we are, but it does not change the fact that most humans feel lost and are always looking for some control, some hope, some faith, some way to "connect", someone to save them. Is this just more proof we are still waiting for our ship to come and take us back home, or will we find out in the near future that we are stuck here forever, and no one is coming for us because our "old" home had been destroyed?

. yet we're culturally monogamous. Once again, "imitating the masters"...
Why don't human females find human males attractive?

Human females find alpha males attractive. Especially if they eat raw meat.

Monogamy was culturally imposed on "the masses" as part of the often white conquest of native peoples. For the same reason the usa drinking age is 21. Power and control are easier if guilt is imposed and natural human urges suppressed.

Pig plus monkey = you man...is one well documented theory mentioned earlier though mccarthy posits random mutation vs. the creation method.

Would people still eat pork if they knew? If they would...humanity is a ghastly beast.

I feel like another aspect of humanity that I don't often see discussed, but which is an obvious built-in imperative, is the need for veneration. We all need to venerate something, and give it our attention, time, resources, and mental and emotional effort (sometimes physical) - whether or not we realize or acknowledge it. Fanaticism in the modern world abounds and is intentionally provoked and cultivated by those in power, as I am sure it always was in previous generations. I would certainly consider this factor to be something that is unique to humans, though it is a quality that is easily abused and invoked as a means to keep us distracted from actual important issues. If we look at it from a spiritual/metaphysical standpoint, higher powers out there benefit from it in some way and/or such veneration may actually be harmful for us in the long-term depending on where it's directed.

While in the secular world this may not be discussed much (arguably because there is a lot control that can be had if you keep people ignorant of it), this is talked about at great lengths in theological circles (especially around the causes of idolatry).

Is the missing link in Mccarthy's macroevolution an ancient genetic splicing lab...

We humans are not robots. We have simply been collectively traumatised and therefore tend to want to hurt ourselves and others.
