In Species with Amnesia, Robert Sepehr claims that the "Out-of-Africa" model of human evolution is wrong and that modern humans, represented by Cro-Magnon, really came from Atlantis. For this blog post we will be focusing on Sepehr's claims about the physical characteristics and genetics of these Cro-Magnon “Atlanteans”. According to Sepehr (pages 24-25) "modern Northern Europeans are most similar to Cro magnon’s : Tall, high Frequency of RH negative blood type , fair haired and blue-eyed.” Tall One of Sepher's claims is that Cro-Magnon (now more commonly known as Early European Modern Human (EEMH)) had an average height “well over six feet" (page 51). The reason this is important is because then Cro-Magnon would have the closest similarity to Sepehr's imaginary Atlanteans. This claim is simply not true, at least not at the moment with the current evidence. I can find no reliable source that says that Cro-Magnon had an average of well over 6 feet tall. The closest thing to this claim I could find were that “Males were 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet tall" ( Dennis O’Neal ). Also, another source (Mysteries of Life, Death and Beyond by Patrick Conte) says “their average height is considered to be about five foot, nine inches, but some may have stood six feet five inches or taller.” “May” is not the same as did or was. Someone cannot just say that just because something may have been true, that it is well supported. RH Negative Blood Another thing Sepehr claims in his book is that because there are RH+ and RH- people, and RH+ is commonly found in the Rhesus monkey, that humans must have interbred with other species and that people with RH- blood are the pure bred Atlanteans. He states (page 24): “Karl Landsteiner and Alexander s. Wiener discovered the RH blood factor. 85% of the human population has the RH D antigen on their red blood cells which was in common with rhesus monkey, while 15% of the population mysteriously do not have the antigen. The 1994-2002 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica says that the Sweden county Dalarna today is characterized by almost pure Cro-Magnon.” Unfortunately for him this has a simple explanation that does not involve Atlanteans: mutation! Mutation is an important part of evolution by natural selection. When an individual has a mutation that is beneficial, that individual can pass on its genes to the next generation. Researchers think that RH- blood makes people more resistant to certain kinds parasites. Perhaps there are evolutionary reasons why RH- blood occurs in high frequency in Sweden. So how do we know Cro-Magnon people were RH-? We don't. But in Sepher's view, since Swedes are "almost pure Cro-Magnon," and Cro-Magnon are the closest thing to pure blooded Atlanteans, people with RH– blood are pure blooded Atlanteans. Fair-Haired and Blue-Eyed Sepehr's argument about fair-haired and blue-eyed Cro-Magnon people follows much of the same pattern as his RH- argument. In fact, most of his arguments stem from the “fact” that Atlanteans (of which there is no evidence) are most like Cro-Magnon, who are most like modern northern Europeans. Scientist don’t know exactly why the genes for lighter skin, blue-eyes and fair hair appeared, but a recent genetic study suggests that white skin only evolved about 8000 years ago, well after the earliest "Cro-Magnon" skeletons. Conclusion Basically, Sepehr seems to be trying to say that the earliest "modern" humans in Europe where tall, blond, white people very similar to the northern Europeans of today. This fits overall with his argument of the superiority of "Atlanteans" and their descendants (i.e., white people). There is no evidence that Atlantis was anything more than a myth, yet it is important to Sepehr that the Atlanteans are are tall, fair haired and have blue eyes. He has created a fictional superior people that he says are very much like modern northern Europeans. He also has a very Nazi-like imperial eagle symbol on the back cover of the book. Overall, his concepts prove nothing about Cro-Magnons being related to Atlantis. To even take his arguments seriously you would first have to believe that Atlanteans were real, of course, which no one has proved . They are just puzzle pieces that he cut out himself to fit a narrative.

Thanks for the review Andy. I know that I was taught that Cro-Magnon people were comparable in height to Neanderthals, which agrees with your observation. Enjoyed the read.

You do more research into symbols. Just because Nazis used certain symbols doesn’t mean they don’t have a much more ancient origin that has nothing to do with crazy Nazi ideology.

Good review! Thanks for saving me the angst of reading Sepehr. I've been curious about what his claims are, but haven't wanted to put any cash in his pocket by buying one of his books.

Ugh. Thanks for the heads-up, so to speak, and the example for my next semester classes when we get to pseudoscience.

Cro magnon had a large craanium, one of them I know was over 1700cc and that means they were indeed very tall, as narrow hips are a trait of upright walking hominids and that large skull must fit through female anatomy. Sepehr is correct, and i love his videos on Youtube!

What you "know" is actually incorrect about "Cro Magnon."

Exactly buddy! This guy is just throwing shade on Sepehr because the existence of the Isle of Atlas proves that he, and his Edomite/Ashkenazite buddies, are not only nothing special, but a few rungs BELOW the tippy top where they fancy themselves to reside.

My opinion on evolution is more similar to Friedrich Nietzsche than Charles Darwin's. If I were to make a guess on the evolutionary reason for why Whites have light skin, it would be the Younger Dryas.

Though we have no way of knowing if lighter skin pigmentation is the result of reduced contact with the sun's UV radiation.

I always enjoy being able to break down and really see through what a researcher might be trying to pass along. But, this short article leaves out a lot of research Robert touched on, like Indo-European language evolution, including the basque language, similarities in myths (like religion) across the world that seem to indictate world-wide communication or an older period of a shared culture than we can currently prove. Strange how multiple cultures around the world share the same myths about Giants and a flood. It's easy to ignore but does no justice to dismiss.

Thank goodness for Mr. Sephyr, that his theories can be backed up with research. We are blessed to have such a man with such high integrity as robert lifting the veil of lies that had befallen this country after project paperclip.

I have always found it peculiar that scientists claim that Rh negative blood is a "mutation". My suspicion lies with the fact that O negative is compatible with every blood type. How does this "mutation" take place? It would be more likely the other way around. The numerous other blood types are a "mutation" or that of a completely separate species of hominid. It would appear that O negative is the original blood type for human beings, giving way to the other blood types through breeding. The same would be true for the different "Races".

this was a terrible "debunking". Anyone who stumbles kn this article needs to go and actually read Robert Sepehrs book. Mainstrwan science is a lie and white Europeans do NOT come from blacks.

One thing these dribbling fucking retards like this author love to ignore every time this topic is brought up: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14325-first-europeans-shunned-neanderthal-sex/ 28,000 year old cro magnon skeleton had anatomically modern dna and skulls with NO neanderthal admixture and exclusively caucasian features. Cro magnon "sapiens" supposedly went up to europe 48,000 years ago and somehow in 20,000 years they evolved bigger skulls, blue eyes, greater height, etc? And when would all the evolution for all the other anatomically correct humans have taken place? Lmfao at this narrative you retards push.

Do you like dogs? All dogs came from the wolf. Yet not all dogs look anything like a wolf. How is that? Interbreeding and gene manipulation. If dogs can change that much in 10,000 years, what does that day about humans and different variations over 40,000-to whenever?...retard

Intellectually lazy argument.. human beings bred dogs specifically for certain traits and features. We don't have chihuahuas by accident. Leave a Reply. |
