description: Charles Darwin wasn't the only one to come up with a contemporary explanation for the origin of human beings. Homespun fantasies and myths abound -- the imaginative creations of dreamers, cult leaders, amateur scientists, racists, and rogues.Among the theorists this collection introduces are the eccentric English lord who believes that men are a cross between extraterrestrials and their Martian servants, a successful television journalist whose book suggests that humans evolved from aquatic apes, and a UFO investigator convinced that humans were bred as pets for brilliant dinosaurs.
