I don't believe in the alien hybrid theory. Read my comment. I suspect that their experiments never properly worked, and IF they did work, then its not because they mixed our genomes. It's because they changed them, and we are looking at the changed results thinking they are normal. Really, if you are to act as though science is settled on the matter of our evolution, our genome, and our ultimate beginnings, then you are barking up the wrong tree. I already know that most of what people take as literal truth is little more than educated guesses. So, you are just guessing that if we were to carry around foreign DNA or somesuch, then we would be able to notice. I am saying that we wouldn't notice unless we were already acknowledging its existence. Anyways, I don't support the alien-hybrid theory because I don't believe giants are aliens, unlike most folks who are interested in the old tales. They are tales, with some amount of truth. You don't know what amount, and neither do I.

I know a fair bit about genetics, specifically human population and ancestry. We would indeed be able to spot inserted genes in a flash for a whole range of reasons. We can detect "ghost" populations of humans by their traces, which would be way harder by comparison.

They are tales, with some amount of truth. You don't know what amount, and neither do I.

Some do have some roots in traceable facts. For example, bronze age European myths and fairytales are traceable back to the same root culture (Yamnaya). You can spot the roots of assorted deities going back almost 5K.

Myths of floods are pretty ubiquitous because we had a massive change in sea level in the Mesolithic all over the planet.

You can even roughly date some mythical events by their match to archaeological sites.

For example theres an excellent match for the story of Sodom and Gomorrah found recently. Looks like a comet airburst over a thriving bronze age town, so hot that ceramics vitrified and molten salt got blasted all over the nearby plain (oblique angle of impact).

Anyhoo, another issue with "giants" is mistranslation. For example the Nephilim get called giants, but a better translation is "great men", the term great in the original text didn't originally mean size. That's a major issue in a lot of myths, words shifting meaning between generations.

ghost" populations of humans

What's that?

An extinct human population that you can deduce existed from DNA and or archaeology.

Once again, educated guesses with just as much truth, if not a little more applicable truth, than the myths.

Well, except that we've found bones from some of them. Like the Denisovans.

It's not really guessing if you've got their bones in your hands.

Thank you for this information.
