The Founder Hypothesis states that there is a highly developed extraterrestrial civilization in our galaxy, several million years old, which strategically colonizes Earth-like planets with the aim of creating intelligent life there. The members of this civilization, the so-called "Founders", no longer exist as biological life forms, but have uploaded their minds to computers, enabling them to live indefinitely. These computers are installed untraceably beneath the surface of the planets.
One of the colonized planets is Earth. The Founders have directed human evolution within the limits of their technological capabilities. Among their technological capabilities is the recording and altering of electromagnetic signals in the brains of animals and humans living anywhere on Earth's surface. The Founders are currently in the process of ensuring that humanity cannot pose a threat to other advanced civilizations in the future.
The scientific basis of the Founder Hypothesis is discussed in the book "Rewiring the Human Brain: How Extra-terrestrials Shape Humanity". [1]. The presumed strategic goals of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have yielded numerous testable predictions, which have been confirmed and which allow no other explanation than the use of advanced extraterrestrial technology. These predictions include
The Founder Hypothesis is a relatively new hypothesis developed in the above-mentioned book. On the surface, it has similarities to the reptilian conspiracy theory and also to the ancient astronauts theory. Therefore, it is worth spending time to see why the related theories are considered pseudoscience.
The ancient astronauts theory holds that extraterrestrials visited Earth and contacted humans in prehistoric times. They helped them with their advanced technology to buid monuments such as the Egyptian pyramids. The theory became popular at the end of the 1960s due to the success of Erich von Däniken's work. Among scientists, the consensus is that the ancient astronaut hypothesis is not impossible, but unjustified and unnecessary. The "mysteries" cited as evidence for the hypothesis can be explained without having to invoke ancient astronauts. [7] In contrast, the above-mentioned evidence supporting the Founder Hypothesis cannot easily be explained in any other way.
The Reptilian conspiracy theory is based on Robert E. Howard's fictional book " The Shadow Kingdom", published in 1929. Howard's " serpent men" are described as a species with human bodies and snake heads that lives in underground passages. The sepent men use their shape-shifting and mind-control abilities to infiltrate humanity and gain world domination. However, the probability that an intelligent species with shape-shifting abilities lives undetected in underground passages is negligible. Therefore, this theory has probably never been taken seriously among scientists. Nevertheless, the Reptilian theory was listed among the 10 most popular conspiracy theories of all times. [8]
Historically, the Founder Hypothesis is not based on these theories, but arose from the study of the strategic goals of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. It, therefore, does not make any of the unnacessary claims for which the ancient astronauts theory and the reptilian conspiracy theory are famous.
Arguments against the Founder Hypothesis arise from the following considerations:
If the Founder Hypothesis is correct, then there are numerous implications, such as:
