Thank you for stopping in.

I had a little thought today, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of it's validity, although much of it is based on speculation.

Humans, as a species, share much biological history with Monkeys, Apes and other such animals. In particular, science believes that we share a good deal of our selves with the Chimpanzee.

Many people often ask 'well, if we came from the Chimpanzee, why is it still here? Why didn't it evolve?'




I've thought about this, even when science has given us some answers.



Here is what I thought of this morning, and please, don't be too harsh.



My idea is this, we did evolve from Chimpanzees, but that was in another timeline.


Chimpanzees evolved into Humans, and then, deep into the future, Humans discovered either how to travel through time, or how to travel into other Universes or Dimensions.

So my theory is this.

We are in the present. It is our present. But to future Humans this is the past.


Humans evolved from Chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees as we know them no longer existed.

It was just Humans.

Humans developed some sort of time travel device and travelled back in time (which to us, would be about 1,000,000 BC) to where Chimpanzees still exist.

So that would mean, by my theory, that today, the present, is about 1,000,000 years BC.


Future Humans came back here and developed a new society.



Over time we lost most of our knowledge and are only now developing it again.




May I please have your thoughts about my theory.

Hmmm why does this sound familiar... oh yeah it's a hit TV show called Terra Nova.

All I can say is if you are willing to accept time travel as real then nearly any scenario is possible.

'Terra Nova', huh?


Well that's one show that I haven't looked into.


I guess I may have to check it out.

This is the same as asking "If Americans originally came from Europe, then why are there still Europeans?"

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has suggested that morphic resonance fields -- the stuff that essentially gives us our consistent forms and shapes through time -- are not necessarily constrained by linear time and may offer living organisms a "hint" or "guide" as to what they should eventually evolve into in order to survive. Our shapes and forms echo both forward and backward through time and keep us from dissolving in a pool of entropy. It's an interesting theory.

Also, most contemporary physics allows for their to be tiny wormholes working their way through the fabric of spacetime as a result of quantum interactions (or lack thereof). Most physicists say these tiny wormholes are extremely small, and couldn't be used to transfer information or matter into different time contexts. I wonder. Given certain unusual circumstances, I can imagine energy, matter, information of just about any size (including living organisms) being sucked in and instantaneously shifted to practically anyplace in time and space. If a mouse got sucked into such a tiny wormhole, they'd most likely end up dead in space somewhere. But what if a bacteria managed to luckily land on a nice, warm, watery planet a few billion years ago?

Now that might play a bit of havoc with evolution, wouldn't it?

Where are the time travelers?
