'Illuminating' TIM MARSHALL, bestselling author of The Future of Geography 'Refreshing' THOMAS HALLIDAY, bestselling author of Otherlands Our biology will change how you see the world. Lewis Dartnell explores how human biology has shaped relationships, societies, economies and wars across the globe How did haemophilia bring down the Russian royal family? And scurvy give rise to the Mafia? We are a wonder of evolution. Our exceptional abilities created life as we know it, but we're also deeply flawed. This extraordinary contradiction between our faculties and frailties is the essence of what it means to be human. And history has played out in the balance between them. Here, Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens of this uniquely fragile nature for the first time. From cognitive biases to endemic diseases, he explores how human biology has shaped relationships, societies, economies and wars across the globe - and considers how, importantly, it continues to challenge and define our progress.

The J-Seals Removal Session What to expect: - Original Divine Blueprint restored - the removal of these J-seals is the most important thing a person can do at this point in time - better connection to Higher self - assists in the DNA activation process - receive much more intuition from your Higher self and you can start making your free-will choices in line with the Higher self - restore our organic imprint for optimal health and well being - a natural light will be restored, not only to us, but the Earths Crystalline Grid - evolution towards frequencies of love and higher dimensions - more psychic skills noticed - reach higher states such as bliss and unconditional love - back, neck and knee problems dissipate - breathe better - better circulation The J-Seals (Jehovian Seals) are referred also as the Death Seals and are located at the planetary level. They were placed in the Earth's grid about 200,000 years ago, and every human being born has the 7 seals within their own energetic grids. It is especially important to have these 7 seals removed to restore our organic imprint for optimal health and well being. All beings have these seals. Since the Earth and our bodies are built the same energetically, and they share certain energetic connections and we inherit these Jehovian Seals at birth. They are located on the left side of the body. The removal of J seals is a distant healing session where we remove the 7 unnatural J-Seals. These seals may manifest dis-ease in their respective locations. Common experiences after the session are the ability to breathe better, back, neck and knee problems dissipate, better connection to Higher self and more psychic skills noticed, better circulation, and the ability to reach higher states such as bliss and unconditional love. These sessions are very important right now and very important for the DNA activation process. The seals act as a barrier to keep darkness, fear, despair within the Earth...creating chaos within the human heart and mind, as well as many devastating catastrophes on this planet. When the seals are removed from our physical body, a natural light will be restored, not only to us, but the Earths Crystalline Grid, allowing all Stargates to fully function, along with true liberation from the dark outer forces. During each J-Seal removal session, we also remove several other unnatural seals and implants. These affect the ability to communicate with your Higher self and block the natural activation of the 4th DNA strand and thus hindering a person to evolve towards frequencies of love and higher dimensions. Where are the J-seals located and when did they start opening? J-seal 1 – Top of the Skull (May 2001) J-seal 2 – Heart, Left lung, Left Knee Rear (May 2001) J-seal 3 – Pineal Gland (July 2001) J-seal 4 – Left side of neck and lymphatic’s (January 2002) J-seal 5 – Rear left thigh and buttocks (January 2002) J-seal 6 – Alta major (where skull rests atop the spine), hypothalamus, and top of left shoulder (September 2002) J-seal 7 – Aorta Artery Neck Left Side (September 2002) The effects of the J-seals happen anywhere between 3 and 12 months AFTER the J-seal opens. So if you have had problems in these areas in the last 4 to 5 years, it may be related to the J-seals. Apart from the J-Seals there are other implants and seals which affect your DNA template. These seals and energetic implants also include the Templar Seal, the Templar Axion Seal, the Cell Death Programs (Apoptosis), the Crown of Thorns, Avalon Seal, KCU’S – Karmic Containment Units, the Zeta Seal and the Tower of Babel Seal. Templar Seals - The Templar Seals have been passed on genetically over time and now affect the majority of the population, making physical ascension impossible. The Templar Seal involved the removal of the 6th base tone of DNA Strand 2, the 6th overtone from strand 4 and the 12th overtone of strand 5 which created massive distortions within the astral, mental and emotional bodies locking consciousness into the 3D time cycles. In order for biological transmutation (ascension) to take place, we require to braid the 12 magnetic base tones with the 12 electrical overtones (the magnetic represents the Feminine energy and the Electric the Masculine) within each DNA strand corresponding to the dimensional frequencies we are inhabiting and this results in an ‘up-folding’ of the physical form to then reappear in the next harmonic. If there are fragments of the DNA base-magnetic and electrical overtones missing, this is not possible. Templar-Axion Seal - The seventh dimensional Templar-Axion Seal involved the removal of the 6th base tone of the 1st DNA strand, the 6th base tone of the 5th strand and the 6th base tone of the 6th DNA strand. As a result of these distortions in the genetic codes people are unable to assemble their DNA adequately to “qualify” for the next harmonic universe. This is one of the reasons why so many people are “not waking up” during this ascension cycle. People who have had these seals energetically removed can then begin to rapidly integrate the higher dimensional frequencies of the higher harmonics in preparation for biological transmutation and ascension during this current ascension cycle. Cell Death Programs - This is apoptosis or what science terms as cells committing suicide and the telomeres becoming shorter. Science believes that apoptosis is normal however it was never intended by Divine Source for us to die and reincarnate. Cell Death Programs have shortened humanity’s life span in order to keep us reincarnating. Crown of Thorns - The Crown of Thorns is an energy configuration above the head which distorts the natural energetic circulatory system and blocks the receiving of the primal life force currents from your Higher Identity which spans your 4 through 15 dimensional self. The crucifixion was an energetic crucifixion of humanity. The Crown of Thorns scrambles the Universal currents and prevents its continuous flow through our gateway (chakras) to higher consciousness keeping us stuck in a third dimensional frequency fence. The Avalon seal implant is a distortion in dimensions 11.5, Kathara center 12 which affects chakra 10 above the head and chakra 12 below the feet, auric level 12 impacting the Nirvanic Christiac Avatar body. It was activated on March 23, 2002. Zeta Seal - Everyone has the Zeta Seal in their energetic physiology. This genetic manipulation involved the removal of the 2nd base tone and second and third overtones of the 4th DNA strand which created a hidden frequency fence on Earth. The result of this has been that people have been unable to access their soul identity Higher Self – intuitive body which would otherwise serve to direct them along a more favourable pathway of choices in their lives. This is also one of the main reasons why people are not “waking up” and recognizing what is transpiring on Earth right now. As a result of this interference the sleeping masses continue their lives completely unaware of the cosmic events unfolding around them as they remain focused within the third dimensional reality fields. The Zeta Seal is located in the 4 DNA strand, which blocks a person’s ability to evolve towards frequencies of unconditional self-love, omni-love and higher dimensions. The 5 DNA strand is blocked from plugging into any of the lower strands. It’s a frequency fence. All beings born since 1748 AD have this Zeta seal distortion. The Zeta seal distortion has created a blockage from experiencing astral awareness, astral travel, lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, intuitive gifts and causing difficulty in remembering dreams. Tower of Babel Seal - In 3470 BC, Invader Races caused a temporary collapse of Earth’s magnetic grids with the intent to set Earth’s Planetary Shields into reverse sequence. This caused a mutation in the human DNA Template. The mutations in the DNA template blocked the natural kundalini flow in the body causing malfunctions in the pineal, thalamus, hypothalamus and thyroid glands leading to a shortened human life span, blocked higher sensory perception and caused a loss of race memory and a scrambling of our original language patterns which are built upon DNA Template Fire Letter Sequencing. Our race has been amnesiac and dying young ever since. This historical event was recorded as the Biblical Tower of Babel story. Clearing the Tower of Babel Seal activates your kundalini and your higher sensory perception. KCU’S – Karmic Containment Units It is more than an implant, it's a containment device... your perception is influenced to believe that you have karma, and you begin to collect it, the type of karma you collect is not really yours, since you are bound onto the wheel via these KCU's to experience the karma, and to truly experience being human, so as everything in the universe, it is a matter of perception. On the one hand it left you unable to see beyond the veil, on the other hand, that is the ultimate idea, to have you not be able to see beyond the veil to completely immerse yourself into this earthly life and then at a specific moment in time to be awakened, and removed from this perception. So that you do not actually acquire this karma, you are tagged with KCU's. Basically it's the same as putting on some gear, however, both sides must benefit from this. If you have the KCU you are able to be here and experience karma, while at it, you are feeding the "dark side", you are feeding the matrix with your belief and energies, which allows the "dark" side to benefit. On the other hand you are not actually stuck on the wheel from which it is a bit more complex to get off. Therefore as you can see it is both good and bad. Once removed though, what happens is you are removed from the matrix. Does it mean you fall off the face of the earth, absolutely not. What this means is you simply are able to SEE beyond the veil, you are no longer feeding the “dark” side, nor feeding the matrix as the “dark” si

A team of researchers from several institutions in the U.K. and one in the U.S. has found that human culture evolves just as slowly as biological evolution. In their paper published in the journal Nature Human Behavior, the group describes how they developed metrics for cultural evolution and compared them with metrics for biological evolution.
Ours is a critical time in the cultural evolution of humanity that is likely to shape our long-term future, or lack thereof. As a species, we have been on a self-destructive trajectory that has led us to our current polycrisis of unlivable economic conditions, worsening climate disasters, and the potential of an unspeakably devastating war, as the […]

Can virtuous behavior be explained by nature, and not by human rational choice? "It's the animal in us," we often hear when we've been bad. But why not when we're good? Primates and Philosophers tackles this question by exploring the biological foundations of one of humanity's most valued traits: morality. In this provocative book, renowned primatologist Frans de Waal argues that modern-day evolutionary biology takes far too dim a view of the natural world, emphasizing our "selfish" genes and reinforcing our habit of labeling ethical behavior as humane and the less civilized as animalistic. Seeking the origin of human morality not in evolution but in human culture, science insists that we are moral by choice, not by nature. Citing remarkable evidence based on his extensive research of primate behavior, de Waal attacks "Veneer Theory," which posits morality as a thin overlay on an otherwise nasty nature. He explains how we evolved from a long line of animals that care for the weak and build cooperation with reciprocal transactions. Drawing on Darwin, recent scientific advances, and his extensive research of primate behavior, de Waal demonstrates a strong continuity between human and animal behavior. He probes issues such as anthropomorphism and human responsibilities toward animals. His compelling account of how human morality evolved out of mammalian society will fascinate anyone who has ever wondered about the origins and reach of human goodness. Based on the Tanner Lectures de Waal delivered at Princeton University's Center for Human Values in 2004, Primates and Philosophers includes responses by the philosophers Peter Singer, Christine M. Korsgaard, and Philip Kitcher and the science writer Robert Wright. They press de Waal to clarify the differences between humans and other animals, yielding a lively debate that will fascinate all those who wonder about the origins and reach of human goodness. 9 halftones. 3 tables.

The reason why the Universe is Eternal, Is that it does not live for Itself, It gives life to others as it transforms, And thereby lies the process of Evolution. Change, they say, is the only thing Constant. All of us experience change in our life - our views take shape, thoughts mature, perceptions get molded, and if ever we sit and reflect, we wonder how it could be that we are so different from the way we were just a few years back! Similar change in the life of our planet is evidenced by the process of Evolution. The current post deals with the 'Theory of Evolution' as proposed by the Biologist Charles Darwin and compares it with similar thoughts in the Hindu tradition. Origin of Species As discussed in the 3rd post (Creation by Brahma), our Universe required at least ten billion years of Evolution before life was even possible. Even on our own planet, the process has only progressed by taking baby steps and it has taken millions of years of trial and error to provide us with the backbone! Evolution by Carl Sagan Evolution is clearly visible in the huge diversity of species on our planet and today most of us consider Evolution to be an undisputed fact, yet there was a time when the concept was brand new and quite controversial.The controversy began with one man - Charles Darwin. Darwin (1809-1882), was an English Naturalist, who wrote the immensely popular thesis Origin of Species in the year 1859 CE, thereby rocking the foundations of both scientific as well as religious world of that time. Charles Darwin What was stated in his book, went totally against accepted beliefs of the Church and Darwin had to face a lot of criticism for his revolutionary theory. Yet, it is only because of this theory that we can understand the full purport of Evolution on our planet. The story of how Darwin came upon these conclusions is also quite fascinating as well and I was lucky to have visited the place where he came up with his theory. Visitng Darwin's Home in Bromley, London The spirit of adventure had gripped the imagination of most European nations at that time and there were expeditions from different countries to chart and explore the world around them. On one of these trips, our guy Charles Darwin landed at the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. These are a group of 12 disjointed atolls with the sea separating all of them, so that the flora and fauna in each is isolated from outside intervention. Darwin's Voyage . Darwin began to study the different species present there and to his surprise, observed huge variations in the species present in each of these islands!! In Darwin's own words -"When on board H.M.S. Beagle, as a Naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. Darwin began to ask himself why some birds on these islands had beaks different from others, and why some turtles had upright necks while others had their necks pointed down! Could all these differences be a result of the ENVIRONMENT these animals lived in and the circumstances in which they had to obtain food? A note from Darwin's Diary Despite suffering badly from sea-sickness, Darwin wrote copious notes while on board the ship. He found that the mockingbirds from different islands of the Galpagos group differed in shape and color and collected 12 different species of finches from each of them! He traveled throughout the world and collected specimens wherever the ship docked. The same were handed over to experts when he landed in his mother country for further analysis. The research conducted on these specimens by various Anatomists, Ornithologists, Zoologists and Geologists, made the entire scientific world sit up and take notice of this radically NEW notion that Darwin had proposed. Inspired by the geographical differences in the wildlife (past and present), Darwin finally conceived of the Theory of Natural Selection. Today, the 'Origin of Species' is a widely acknowledged classic, and Evolution is today accepted as a truth of life. Stages of Evolution Evolution in Hinduism Ancient Indians believed that Life comes from pre-existing Life. As discussed in the 3rd post (Creation by Brahma), Hindu Creation closely follows actual appearance of elements in our Universe -First appear the intangible substances followed by the tangible matter; followed by the immovable planets and landmasses; then the vegetation; birds, aquatics and animals; and finally the Higher species. Taking an example from Hindu Philosophy, one of the most important concepts in Hinduism is of Samsara. All religions of Indian origin viz. Jainism, Budhism, Sikhism and the numerous other sects, believe in this concept and I'm sure most of you are aware of it as well. The concept is also known as the Transmigration of Soul, and refers to an endless cycle of re-incarnation that a soul must undergo in order to fulfill its Karma. Transmigration of Soul through different Species A soul takes birth in different species of life until it attains the form of a Human-being that enables it to strive for Nirvana. Compare this concept with the diagram above and you will immediately observe the similarity with Evolution!! Another point to notice is the mention of 84 Lakh (8.4 million) different forms that a soul is obliged to take in order to reach a Human form which is remarkably close to the 8.7 million Eukaryotic species that scientists believe exist today!! Different species are an evidence of Evolution Sir John Woodroffe (1865-1936), Advocate General of Bengal and Legal member of the erstwhile Govt. of India, had the same revelation after the study of Sanskrit texts. He said and I quote, "Ages before Lamarck and Darwin, it was held in India that man has passed through 84 lakhs births as plants, animals, inferior species and then came the ancestors of developed man existing today. The theory was an act of brilliant deduction in which observation may also have had played part!" We all have heard of evolution and know that mammals are at its peak but is interesting to find the principles of Darwin's evolution in an old Hindu tect - the Shatpatha Brahman! The scripture mentions that when Prajapati Brahma created living beings in the beginning, they kept dying. He created the birds & the crawling reptiles, but they passed away from want of food. Finally #Brahma created living beings who could store food to nourish their children in the from of milk and thus came the mammals who ultimately survived! The verse 2:5:1:66 says: Now that milk is indeed food; for in the beginning Prajâpati produced it for food. But that food also means living beings (progeny), since it is by food that they exist: by resorting to the breasts of those who have milk, they continue to exist. And those who have no milk are nursed by the former as soon as they are born; and thus they exist by means of food, and hence food means progeny. Is it just co-incidence or were the ancient Rishis actually aware of all the complexities of their environment around them?? While the above theory by itself may not be sufficient for some to believe in what I'm saying, I'll elucidate it further through an analysis of the order of Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The Dashavatar For the sake of the neophytes who may not be aware of them, I am listing the Ten Avatars below: Matsya, the Fish Kurma, the Turtle Varah, the Boar Narasimha, the Half-man/Half-lion being Vaman, the Dwarf Parashurama, Rama with the axe Rama, Ramachandra, the prince and king of Ayodhya Krishna, the Man-god Buddha, the Spiritual Master, and lastly, Kalki, expected to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga. . It would be worthwhile to note that originally, there were 24 Avatars of the Lord listed in Srimad Bhagvatam. Why then, were only 10 selected by the Rishis for glorification? Furthermore, the order of the Avatars is NOT chronological! The actual order is as follows - Varah, Narsingh, Kurma, Vaman, Matsya, Parshu-Raam, Raam, Krishna/Balrama, Buddha and Kalki. To a student of Biology, it may be quite apparent that these incarnations bear a startling resemblance to the Concept of Evolution - in the Dashavatar, we start with the aquatic Matsya, the Savior of the World; move on to the amphibian Kurma, the Support of the World; and follow it up with the Protector of the World, the terrestrial Varah.Compare this with the diagram below to see how the current understanding of Evolution exactly matches this description. Evolution of Amphibians and Terrestrials from Aquatics (Images courtesy Rima Chadha) The Eusthenopteron in the diagram above is a good example for demonstrating evolution. This particular animal looked and behaved like modern fish for all practical purpose, YET within its fins were precursors of arm and leg bones of the four-limbed land animals!To add weight to this Out-of-Water theory, we next have the Tiktaalik, a half-fish, half-amphibian animal discovered in the Canadian Arctic in 2004. This animal was a further step towards TERRESTRIAL life with early wrists and finger bones that allowed it to prop itself up and poke its head above the water! Evolution through animation There are also indications that the animal breathed both through gills (like the earlier Eusthenopteron), as well as by means of a lung-like structure like the later amphibian Ichthyostega! This is just one of the many example that confirm Paleontologists' theories about land-dwelling animals evolving from fish ancestors and co-relates well with the Dashavatar sequence of Kurma after Matsya. Kurma Avatar of Lord Vishnu If you are intrigued by this similarity between science and religion, wait coz there's more to come :o) After Kurma, we have the Varah and the story of this incarnation has many sub-layers. At one level, it signifies the next level of evolution moving from Water to Land while at a deeper level, it shows that Humans can not survive on the planet without the help of animals. Lord Varah is followed by the half-man-half-lion Nar-singh signifying the development of Man from the beasts. The victory of Narasimha over Aasurik ambitions of Hiranyakshipu also signifies that Humanity can be born only if we manage to subdue our demonic tendencies. Narsingh, the Man-beast who tames Asurik tendencies Varaha, the savior of Earth {Image courtesy - Vimanika Comics} Dashavatar Volume 2 Scientifically, there are numerous specimens recording this development from 'Water to Land' and from 'Beasts to Man' and many so called Missing Links have been found to corroborate the same. However, for our purpose, let us shift focus to a new animal that was spreading slowly out from the African heartland about 120,000 years ago - the Human-being. Evolution of Humans from an ape ancestor is supported by DNA and fossil evidence of over 20 species of Hominids and the complete genomes of several primates provide ultimate proof of our relatedness to apes and other Primates. Evolution of Early Man Dryopithecus in the image above, was a common ancestor to humans as well as other apes, and walked on all fours. The next guy in the image, Australopithecus afarensis, retained remnants from his quadrupedal past (such as hind toes suited for climbing and a wrist joint indicating it could knuckle-walk). However, its thigh bone, the femur, was shaped like that of the later Homo erectus to bear the stress of upright movement! In addition, both the proto-humans' femurs were also angled inward to help maintain balance on two legs, just like we do today. Hindu mythology also finds the mention of these proto-humans in the form of the Vanars but that's a topic for a future post so I'll leave it at that for now. Coming back to the Dashavatar sequence, we first have the pygmoid Vaman followed by the fully developed but jungle-dwelling man represented by Lord Parashu-Raam. As the famous sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke describes - The stone club, the toothed saw, the horn dagger, the bone scraper - these were the inventions which the Early Man needed in order to survive and hunt.No longer were they faced with starvation when their teeth became damaged or worn; even the crudest tools could add many years to their lives. And as their fangs diminished, the shape of their face started to alter; the snout receded, the massive jaw became more delicate, the mouth able to make more subtle sounds to enable Speech. Video showing skull changes from primates to modern Humans In using the Tools, their hands developed a dexterity found nowhere else in the animal kingdom permitting them to make still BETTER tools, which in turn helped develop their limbs and brains yet further. It was an accelerating, cumulative process; and at its end was the Modern Man. This stage represents Early Man who had started using tools and weapons and quite fittingly, Parshu-Raam is the FIRST of the ten incarnations to posess primitve ARMS (Axe and Bow). Parshuram represents forest-dwelling man who used tools {Book Cover of The Legend of Parshu-Raam} Soon, mankind discovered Fire and Agriculture, and civilization began. Hence, next in the list we have the civilized man with a strong moral code - Shri Rama followed by Balrama, the Man-who-can-tame-Nature. In the image below, we can see the modern human represented by Shri Rama accompanied by the proto-human Vanars. Maryada Purushottam Shri Rama Next in line, Buddha, represents man with a spiritual drive and the need for infusing fresh thoughts in age-old traditions to keep religion and spirituality within the reach of the Masses. The final Avatar, Kalki, refers to the techno-humanoid man of tomorrow wielding mechanical contraptions and riding the steed of fire perhaps hinting at the technological advancement yet to come, maybe somewhat similar to Arnold from one of my childhood favorites, the movie Terminator :o) The 10 Avatars certainly represent much more than just the incarnations of Lord Vishnu and as we saw above, are an allegory for the Process of Evolution which is evident in nature and within our own beings as well. Lord Vishnu and the Ten Avatars . I hope I was able to suitably present before you another aspect of Science uncovered from the depths of the treasure trove of Hindu Mythology. I again bow down to the intellect of the ancient Rishis and culminate this post with the Dashavatar Stotra, translated from the Geet-Govind, and dedicated to the 10 glorious Incarnations of Lord Vishnu: In the Great Deluge, You kept Vedas safe, Like a ship undeflected, from its original course, Hail Keshav in the form of Matsya, Glories to Hari, Lord of the Universe! On Your expansive back, You let the Mountain rest, Like a Cosmic pivot, for churning the Ocean, Hail Keshav in the form of Kurma, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! In the depths of Garbhodak, You kept Bhu-Devi safe, Like a speck on Moon, she rested on Your tusks, Hail Keshav in the form of Varah, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! On your mighty knees, You let the demon rest, Like a leaf Hiranyakshipu lay, entire existence torn, Hail Keshav in the form of Narsingh, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! In three steps subduing Bali, You kept Three worlds safe, Like a mountain spring, Ma Ganga washed Your feet, Hail Keshav in the form of Vaman, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! On the land destroying tyranny; You let our anguish rest, Like the cleansing sunlight, You rid us of the wicked, Hail Keshav in the form of Parshurama, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! In the interest of Dharma; You kept All species safe, Like the ten directions, were Ravan's ten heads spread, Hail Keshav in the form of Shri Rama, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! On Your plough, wearing blue; You let the Yamuna rest, Like the celestial clouds, garments adorned Your form, Hail Keshav in the form of Balraam, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! In Kaliyug You opposed sacrifice; Keeping animals safe, Like Your compassion, Your fame too shone, Hail Keshav in the form of Buddha, Glories O Hari, Lord of the Universe! On Judgement day destroying Evil; You'll let their Souls rest, Like a comet, your sword trailing destruction, Hail Keshav in the form of Kalki, All Glories to Hari, Lord of the Universe! . Aum Shanti: Shanti: Shanti: .
