10 Reasons Why Humans May Not Have Come From Earth

7. We're Too Advanced

The most conspicuously different feature of the human race, is just how much more advanced we are when compared to the rest of life on Earth.

Why are we so far ahead of every other animal? It sounds like classic human arrogance, but for all our talk about how intelligent dolphins are because they can recognise themselves in a mirror - they didn't invent the bloody mirror, did they? 

Okay, how about if we argue that inventing things like wheels and mirrors and social media executives isn't necessarily an indicator of intelligence? It's still drastically different to what everything else on the planet is doing. 

Why are we such outcasts from the natural world? It could be because it's not our natural world.

If we arrived on a primitive Earth with a head start, it could explain why we appear to be leaps and bounds ahead of every other species. Dr. Silvers also cites that fact that the "missing link" that would connect us with our common ape ancestors is still, er, missing (it's not, but never mind).

We could have come from a planet where a number of species were similarly advanced - perhaps that's even the reason we left, to go and rule elsewhere.

It all seemed to happen at once too. Evolutionarily speaking it took us fricking ages to get the hang of sharpened rocks, then, all of a sudden, we invented agriculture, writing, language, art, electricity, machinery, chemistry, quantum physics and pretty much everything else around us today. What the hell happened?
