Ancestors from outer space suggested

Another strange discovery by scientists supports a theory that a species different than modern man was living at least 14,000 years ago, sharing life with the species which all of us (with the exception of politicians and infomercial salespeople on late-night TV) are related.

Archeologists in China found a bone they had never seen before, one that suggests human-like creatures walked differently than today’s humans and may have done much of their walking mostly in circles.

The size of the bone shows that the species must have been smaller than humans living at the time, indicating they may have survived long enough to have invented shelves.

Denton Floorboard of the University of Archeology (the only university that holds classes in mobile homes) said the bone "resembles that of a Homosapien but differs in the fact that it can spin like a top if you toss it the right way."

Floorboard and others inspecting the bone found in a cave agree that the bone is equivalent to the human femur, which is the largest bone found in a human body and the most misspelled.

The bone had hints that it belonged to a creature that died burning. "He or she or it could have been killed while being cooked," said Floorboard. "Or perhaps because he or she or it was a careless cook and went up in flames while frying a snake."

The study of mankind's evolution becomes more mysterious with every strange item found. This opens a discussion of mankind being akin to creatures not of this planet.

Professor Seth Overgrown, who has studied paleoanthropology for as long as he could pronounce it, said, "An advanced species that could have come to Earth long before our image of modern man could have mutated into our species, with some lagging strains of the original species becoming extinct. Don't laugh because it is possible. It is more possible, in fact, than believing aliens built the Pyramids or come back to make silly designs in cornfields."

However, Floorboard warns that "one bone does not a species make," and asks if that phrase is from a play by Shakespeare.

All in all, the discovery is not the first to have scientists questioning the origin of man. Over the past six decades, evidence that evolution took another route than any of us thought, popped up in the Orient and South Africa. Among the items found aside from bones, for instance, have been claws, hair and testicles that glow in the dark.
