The following 2017 genetic evidence strongly supports and corroborates many topics that have been shared over the years by this community. Topics that society is generally not allowed to actually openly believe since it shows a course that is not what the grand manipulators of society want us to believe, yet are true. One thing you will find is that we can now say with clear scientific evidence is that white skin predates dark/black skin. This is no longer a debate. The implications are that humans did NOT come out of Africa and that human roots, societies and migrations are far, FAR different than what is being taught to the ignorant masses:

I've thought a lot about this topic and whether or not to share the following, but I feel like it is important that we all take note since it has deep implications for all of humanity and what feels like is coming at us.
I want to credit some of the other community members with some of my thoughts in this document, even though they have asked me to not share their thoughts directly as being their own. I could not have seen as much light as I have seen without the input of all of you - both publicly and privately. Thank you.
The Genetics of Skin Pigmentation Reframed Through Truer History
What Crawford et al. (2017) Actually Proves When You Have Eyes to See
Based on: Crawford, N.G. et al. "Loci associated with skin pigmentation identified in African populations." Science 358, eaan8433 (2017). Published 17 November 2017.
I. THE ORIGINAL HUMAN FORM WAS NOT DARK-SKINNED
The standard textbook narrative taught in every university is simple: ancestral humans were dark-skinned, and light skin evolved later as populations migrated to higher latitudes. Crawford et al. demolish this.
- The ancestral allele at approximately half of all causal pigmentation loci is associated with light or moderate pigmentation, not dark.
- Both Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes carry the ancestral (light-associated) allele at every single locus tested in the study.
- The paper states directly: "darker pigmentation is a derived trait" and "ancestral hominins may have been moderately, rather than darkly, pigmented." (This is a scientific form of saying "Oh shit, we've been wrong all this time.")
- This inverts the textbook narrative entirely. Dark skin evolved FROM moderate or light pigmentation, not the other way around. (Again, the easing into this is the use of "moderate" is clearly to psychologically lessen the blow to their gate keepers.)
What the Traditions Say
Joseph Smith Jr. taught that Adam was Michael the Archangel, a resurrected being who "came here from another planet an immortalized being and brought his wife Eve with him" (Anson Call account, confirmed by Joseph F. Smith as "a very important statement from a very reliable man"). Adam's physical form was the tselem (Hebrew: image, physical shape) of God, a glorified body of light, not an equatorial-adapted dark form. All 17 occurrences of tselem in the Old Testament refer to physical shape or form.
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of Anthroposophy, taught that the original human form was luminous and etheric, only gradually densifying into physical matter across successive epochs. In his framework, the earliest humans were beings of light who progressively "hardened" into denser physical forms. Darker pigmentation represented deeper descent into materiality, while lighter forms retained more of the original spiritual luminosity. Steiner's lectures on race (particularly Universe, Earth, and Man, 1908, and The Being of Man and His Future Evolution, 1908-1909) describe human pigmentation as a record of spiritual history written in the body.
Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891), in The Secret Doctrine (1888), described sequential "Root Races" on earth, beginning with ethereal, luminous beings and progressing toward denser physical forms. Her Third Root Race (Lemurian) was the first to achieve full physical embodiment, and she associated later racial diversification with different stages of this densification process.
The Vedic tradition preserves the same memory. The Sanskrit word varna (the basis of the caste system) literally means "color" or "lustre." The Rig Veda describes the original divine beings (Devas, "shining ones") as luminous, in contrast to the Dasa and Dasyu peoples they encountered, who are described as dark-skinned. The Vedic cosmology places luminous, divine-origin beings at the top of the hierarchy and associates progressive darkening with distance from the original divine form.
The convergence: Five independent traditions (Latter-day Saint Restoration theology, Anthroposophy, Theosophy, Vedic literature, and now modern genetics) agree that the original human form was light or luminous, and that dark pigmentation developed later. Crawford et al. confirm this genetically without knowing they are confirming it.
II. THREE DISTINCT ANCIENT POPULATION LAYERS EXIST IN THE GENETIC RECORD
The coalescence dates in the Crawford paper are extraordinary. They cluster into three deep temporal tiers:
- ~1.7 Million years ago: OCA2 locus. Balancing selection has maintained both light and dark alleles at this single locus for nearly two million years. This is the deepest genetic substrate in the paper.
- ~900,000 to 1 million years ago: MFSD12 locus. A completely different gene on a different chromosome, using a different molecular mechanism (lysosomal transport), with its own distinct temporal signature.
- ~250,000 to 600,000 years ago: DDB1 and HERC2 loci. The most recent pre-modern layer, but still predating the conventional date for the origin of Homo sapiens by a factor of at least two.
These three layers cannot belong to modern humans. They predate Homo sapiens by 3-6x. The paper acknowledges this directly: "most of the allelic variation predates modern humans."
(Please take notice that none of this is a discussion of actual temporal occurrences in reality; we are using the framing of present inadequacies of science and their frames in dating. It is likely the dates in reality are far different given the different states of the world, Carbon-14 levels, and more, based on celestial differentials.)
Joseph Smith's Teaching: Three Pre-Adamite Races, Each Destroyed
Joseph Smith Jr. taught privately that the earth had been inhabited before Adam:
"The earth had been inhabited 3 times before Adam came upon it; the former races having been destroyed."
(Orson F. Whitney Journal, 22 July 1906, recording a conversation with Patriarch Oliver B. Huntington, who showed Whitney a personal book of things Joseph Smith had told him directly. Source: Orson F. Whitney Diaries, USU, COLL MSS 188, Special Collections and Archives, Utah State University Merrill-Cazier Library, Logan, Utah. Originals at LDS Church History Library, Salt Lake City.)
The provenance chain is clear: Joseph Smith told Oliver B. Huntington, who wrote it down in a personal record book, which was shown to Apostle and Church Historian Orson F. Whitney, who recorded it in his journal. Three pre-Adamite races, each destroyed before the next. Adam's was the fourth inhabitation.
Steiner's Epochs and Catastrophes
Steiner described a remarkably parallel framework:
- The Polarian epoch: the first, most ethereal human form
- The Hyperborean epoch: still largely etheric, associated with a northern polar region
- The Lemurian epoch: the first fully physical incarnation, ending in catastrophic destruction (fire)
- The Atlantean epoch: a more physically dense civilization, ending in catastrophic destruction (flood)
- The Post-Atlantean epoch: our current age
Steiner's Lemurian, Atlantean, and early Post-Atlantean epochs map to three successive physical civilizations, each ending in destruction, before the current human dispensation. This is structurally identical to Joseph Smith's three pre-Adamite races, "the former races having been destroyed."
Blavatsky's Root Races
Blavatsky's scheme in The Secret Doctrine describes seven Root Races, of which the Third (Lemurian), Fourth (Atlantean), and Fifth (Aryan/current) represent the three most physically embodied civilizations. Her Third and Fourth Root Races were destroyed by geological catastrophe. While her chronology is stretched into millions of years and her framework is dense with occult terminology, the structural pattern matches: sequential civilizations on this earth, each destroyed, before the current dispensation.
The Genetic Fit
The three deep genetic tiers in Crawford correspond temporally to three distinct populations, separated by destruction events that would have created genetic bottlenecks. The deepest alleles (OCA2, 1.7 Ma) survived through two destructions. The middle alleles (MFSD12, ~1 Ma) survived through one. The most recent layer (DDB1/HERC2, 250-600 ka) represents the third race, destroyed before Adam's placement.
Joseph Smith taught this in the 1840s. Blavatsky wrote about it in 1888. Steiner lectured on it from 1904-1925. The genetics confirming three deep population substrates were published in 2017. The traditions preceded the science by 70 to 175 years.
"Destroyed" Does Not Mean Annihilated
A critical logical question arises: if each pre-Adamite race was destroyed, how do their pigmentation alleles survive in the modern genome?
The answer lies in the scriptural pattern of destruction. Every destruction event in sacred history has survivors. The Flood destroyed the antediluvian world, but Noah's family survived. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but Lot's family escaped. The Nephite civilization was destroyed, but remnant populations persisted as Lamanites. "Destruction" in the scriptural and historical pattern means the civilization collapses, the organized culture ends, the population is catastrophically reduced, but remnant populations survive in refugia.
Each pre-Adamite race was destroyed as a civilization. But remnant populations persisted, particularly in equatorial zones where the dark pigmentation, likely engineered by the Annunaki, conferred the strongest survival advantage. There is sufficient evidence that the Annunaki took advantage of, modified and enslaved remnants for their own selfish purposes as poorly formed slaves according to the traditions.
Such remnants carried the ancient alleles forward through each destruction event as small, scattered populations.
This is precisely what the genetics show. Deep coalescence dates (1.7 Ma, 1 Ma, 250-600 ka) with alleles surviving through genetic bottlenecks. The deepest alleles (OCA2) survived through two destructions because the balancing selection maintaining them was strong enough to preserve both variants even through severe population crashes. The middle alleles (MFSD12) survived through one destruction. The most recent layer (DDB1/HERC2) represents the third race's remnants, the population most directly present when Father Adam arrived.
When Adam was placed on this earth as the fourth inhabitation (in the Garden of Eden, on the concave surface inside of the Earth where the City of Eden is today), he did not arrive on an empty planet. He arrived among the surviving remnants of three previously destroyed civilizations, perhaps still carrying their ancient genetic signatures, still bearing the Annunaki's equatorial engineering in their DNA.
Perhaps the Elohim freed some of these Annunaki slaves and used them as building blocks for our Progenitors, Father Adam and Mother Eve.
This is why Cain (who was of another seed line and not a genetic son of Adam), after being banished, fears that "every one that findeth me shall slay me" (Genesis 4:14). Who else was out there to find him? The remnant pre-Adamite populations. And when Cain goes to the "land of Nod" and takes a wife (Genesis 4:16-17), she came from these remnant populations. The text assumes their existence without explaining it, because the original audience understood that Adam's family was not alone on the earth.
III. THE DARK-SKINNED EQUATORIAL PHENOTYPE: ENGINEERING, NOT EVOLUTION
One of Crawford's most striking findings is that dark pigmentation alleles at MFSD12, DDB1, OCA2, and HERC2 are identical by descent across Africa, South Asia, and Australo-Melanesia. Not convergent evolution producing similar outcomes through different mechanisms, but the same alleles on the same haplotype backgrounds, shared across three geographically separated equatorial regions.
This is the critical distinction. When a naturally evolved trait faces the same selective pressure in different regions, evolution typically produces different genetic solutions (convergent evolution). Birds and bats both evolved flight, but through completely different anatomical pathways. Ichthyosaurs and dolphins both evolved streamlined bodies, but from different skeletal architectures. This is the normal pattern: same problem, different solution (if you subscribe to these concepts and we must be conversant in them to have cogent conversations with people who think they are more wise than we; their own reasoning can be used to defeat the very concepts they use to try to take the Master Engineers out of the equation).
Identical solutions deployed across multiple geographically separated zones indicate something else entirely: a common source distributing the same genetic toolkit.
The Sumerian Record
The Sumerian cuneiform tablets, among the oldest written records on earth, describe the Annunaki ("those who came from heaven to earth") creating worker-beings called lulu or Adamu through modification of existing hominids. Zecharia Sitchin's translations (beginning with The 12th Planet, 1976) detail a process of genetic engineering aimed at producing a laborer suited to equatorial mining and agriculture: physically robust, UV-resistant, adapted to intense heat and heavy work.
Whether one accepts Sitchin's specific translations or not, the Sumerian texts unambiguously describe divine beings creating a worker race through deliberate modification rather than natural processes. This is the oldest surviving written account of what we would now call genetic engineering.
The Genetic Signature of Engineering
If a prior agent engineered a worker population for equatorial conditions and distributed them across the tropical belt, the genetic record would show:
- The same pigmentation alleles across all equatorial zones (not convergent solutions): Confirmed by Crawford.
- Simple genetic architecture with high-effect regulatory switches (engineered systems use clean controls, not accumulated random variants): Confirmed by Crawford.
- The engineered trait (dark pigmentation) appearing as derived rather than ancestral (added to an existing genome, not the original state): Confirmed by Crawford.
- Multifunctional integration (an engineer working with an existing genome would modify regulatory elements that affect multiple pathways, not single-purpose coding mutations): Confirmed by Crawford.
Every prediction of the engineering model is confirmed by the data.
IV. THE GENETIC ARCHITECTURE IS SUSPICIOUSLY SIMPLE
Crawford et al. found that only four genomic regions explain approximately 29% of all pigmentation variation in Africans. The paper notes this makes skin pigmentation architecturally "simpler" than most complex traits such as height, which involves thousands of loci with tiny individual effects.
This simplicity is significant. Complex traits accumulate genetic architecture over time through random mutation and drift, producing many small-effect loci. Pigmentation uses a small number of high-effect regulatory switches. The distinction matters:
- Nearly all causal variants identified by Crawford are in noncoding regulatory regions, controlling gene expression levels rather than destroying or altering protein function.
- This means the system adjusts pigmentation by turning genes up or down (like adjusting a thermostat) rather than by breaking or rebuilding the machinery (like smashing a furnace).
- The regulatory approach preserves all the gene's other functions while modifying only the pigmentation output.
This is the signature of a designed control system: clean, modular, multi-output regulation. A small number of master switches controlling a complex phenotype, with the switches placed in noncoding regions so that the underlying genes' other critical functions are preserved.
V. EACH PIGMENTATION GENE SERVES MULTIPLE CRITICAL FUNCTIONS
The multifunctionality of these loci is remarkable:
- DDB1: Pigmentation control, DNA damage repair (complexes with DDB2 and XPC for nucleotide excision repair), UV damage response (regulated by UV exposure and MC1R signaling), female fertility (oocyte survival via CUL4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes), chromatin remodeling, and developmental processes. Knockouts are lethal in both mouse and fruitfly.
- MFSD12: Pigmentation via eumelanin suppression, lysosomal transport (localizes to lysosomes, not melanosomes), autophagy regulation (melanin accumulation in autophagosome-like structures when depleted), cross-organellar control between lysosomes and melanosomes, and xanthophore pigmentation in zebrafish (pteridine-based, an entirely different pigment system).
- OCA2: Pigmentation via melanosomal pH regulation through chloride ion transport, with complete loss-of-function causing oculocutaneous albinism type II (the most common form of albinism in Africans). The light-pigmentation allele operates through splicing regulation, removing a transmembrane domain and producing a dosage-dependent partial reduction in function (~20% per allele copy).
- SLC24A5: Pigmentation via potassium-dependent sodium/calcium exchange in melanosomes, conserved across all vertebrates from zebrafish to humans.
Every single locus integrates pigmentation with other essential biological functions through shared regulatory enhancer architecture. The DDB1 region is particularly telling: its enhancers simultaneously control UV protection AND genome integrity, with MITF binding sites and chromatin interactions linking pigmentation regulation to DNA repair gene promoters.
This level of functional integration across four independent loci, all using regulatory (not structural) control mechanisms, all linking pigmentation to essential non-pigmentation functions, represents sophisticated system-level design.
VI. THE VEDIC RECORD CORROBORATES THE GENETICS
The Rig Veda is potentially among the oldest substantial literary compositions on earth. While Hindu tradition assigns dates of many thousands of years (and stretches mythological chronology into millions of years through the yuga system), the core hymns may date to approximately 20,000 years ago, making them a window into very deep human memory.
Varna: The Color System
The Vedic social order was organized by varna, which literally means "color" or "lustre":
- Brahmana (priestly): associated with white/luminous
- Kshatriya (warrior): associated with red
- Vaishya (merchant/farmer): associated with yellow
- Shudra (servant/laborer): associated with dark/black
This is not a medieval invention or a later corruption. It appears in the earliest Vedic strata, including the Purusha Sukta (Rig Veda 10.90), which describes the four varnas emerging from the body of the cosmic being. A society explicitly organized by skin color, with the darkest associated with labor and servitude.
Devas vs. Asuras: The Cosmic War
The Vedas describe an ongoing war between the Devas ("shining ones," beings of light) and the Asuras (anti-gods, associated with darkness and the underworld). This is not simply good vs. evil in the modern moralistic sense. It is a struggle between two cosmic factions with different relationships to the created order.
The Sumerian tablets describe the same war using different names: Elohim (the family of El, the Most High) vs. Annunaki (those who came from heaven to earth for their own purposes). The Hebrew Bible records it as the conflict between Yahweh's hosts and the "fallen ones." The Latter-day Saint Restoration scriptures describe it as the Elohim warring with other kingdoms "over this principle" of agency.
Devas = Elohim = Luminous divine family who fight for agency
Asuras = Annunaki = Competing powers who enslave and engineer
The Arya and the Dasa
The Rig Veda describes the Arya ("noble" or "bright ones") encountering the Dasa and Dasyu peoples already living in the Indian subcontinent. The Dasa are described as dark-skinned (krishna tvach, "dark skin" or "black covering"), noseless or flat-nosed (anasa), speaking unintelligible languages (mridhra-vach), and dwelling in fortified settlements (pur) which the Aryan war-god Indra destroys.
Consider the reptilian connections, including Naga from previous discussions and even the temples that have cavern receptacles for "liquid" sacrifices to the Naga et al that still are present in modern day India and the region.
Crawford et al. confirm genetically what the Vedas record historically: South Asian dark pigmentation alleles are identical by descent to African ones. The same equatorial-adapted population encountered by the Arya in India was part of the same genetic substrate as equatorial Africans and Australo-Melanesians. The same Annunaki-engineered population, encountered by the same Adamic/Elohim lineage, in a different geography.
Linguistic Cognates
The Sanskrit-Hebrew linguistic parallels point to a common source:
- Brahma / Abraham: the patriarch-creator
- Saraswati / Sarah: the patriarch's wife, associated with rivers and fertility
- Manu / Man / Adam: the first man, survivor of the great flood
- Deva / Deus / Theos: the divine beings, gods of light
- Asura / Ahura (Zoroastrian): the rival powers (notably, in Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda is the supreme god, showing how the same theological categories were inverted across traditions after the Babel dispersal)
These cognates confirm, if you consider Fred Collier's Common Origin thesis: all ancient religions trace to the same Adamic theology, diverging at the Tower of Babel into different languages but preserving the same basic theological structure.
VII. ADAM'S ARRIVAL WAS A LIBERATION MISSION, NOT A "CREATIO EX NIHILO" EVENT
The standard religious narrative (both mainstream Christian and mainstream LDS) presents Adam as the first man, placed in an empty garden to begin the human race from scratch. The evidence requires a different reading. Remember that the original meaning of "creation" is to organize - not a "make from nothing" process.
Adam as Resurrected Being
Joseph Smith taught, through multiple independent witnesses:
- Anson Call (1877): Joseph said Adam "came here from another planet an immortalized being and brought his wife Eve with him and by eating of the fruit of the earth became subject to death and decay... and he is our God and the only God with whom we have to do." Joseph F. Smith confirmed this as "a very important statement from a very reliable man."
- Helen Mar Whitney (1882), who was both Joseph Smith's plural wife and Heber C. Kimball's daughter, quoted William Clayton's notes from May 16, 1841: "The Priesthood was first given to Adam; he obtained it in the creation before the world was formed. He had dominion given him over every living creature; he is Michael, the archangel."
- Benjamin F. Johnson, Anson Call, and Helen Mar Whitney all independently confirmed that Joseph taught the Adam-God doctrine, which Brigham Young later systematized.
Brigham Young formalized this in the Lecture at the Veil (February 7, 1877, St. George Temple): Adam was "an immortal being... had lived on an earth similar to ours... had received the Priesthood... gained his resurrection... was numbered with the Gods."
The Liberation Framework
Adam did not arrive on an empty earth. He arrived on an earth that had been inhabited three times before, with at least one of those populations being an Annunaki-engineered slave race distributed across the equatorial belt. His mission was not population but LIBERATION: to introduce his divine lineage, his priesthood authority, and the covenant of agency into a world of enslaved beings.
He, with a new body, forged in the Garden of Eden, made his way from the inner bowels of the Earth out to the outer surface just as is explained in the Zohar and the fresh population of the Earth began - a new era for the children of the El (Elohim) and with new hope for the pre-existing beings who could be adopted into the family of the El and ultimately obtain the same blessings through reincarnative processes as are natural for spiritual-based life forms.
The Elohim, our Heavenly Family, have warred with many other kingdoms over this principle and to give agency unto intelligences in the eternities. The placement of Adam was an act of war in this cosmic struggle: a direct intervention by the agency-granting Elohim into territory claimed by the enslaving Annunaki in a region of darkness and control.
Genesis 3:15 is the declaration of this war: "I will put enmity between thee [the Serpent/enslaver lineage] and the woman [Eve/liberator lineage], and between thy seed [Cain/Annunaki agents] and her seed [Abel-Seth-Christ/Elohim agents]."
The Mixing: How Liberation Works Biologically
This is the critical logical bridge connecting the theological framework to the genetic data.
Father Adam arrived as a resurrected, glorified being with a white or light form, the physical tselem (image) of God. Through the Fall, eating the fruit of this earth, he became mortal and subject to death and decay (Anson Call account). This mortal descent made his lineage biologically compatible with the existing populations on the earth: the dark-skinned remnants of three previously destroyed pre-Adamite races, still carrying the Annunaki's equatorial engineering in their DNA.
The liberation did not happen through proclamation alone. It happened through intermarriage, generation by generation. Adam's children (specifically through Seth, the covenant line) carried the Adamic genetic signature, including the ancestral light pigmentation alleles associated with the glorified form. As the Adamic lineage spread and mixed with the remnant pre-Adamite populations, it wove the Elohim's agency-bearing covenant into the enslaved substrate one family at a time.
It may be too that Adam and the purest remnants were giant in stature and diminished as they intermixed with the pre-Adamites.
Moses 7:22 records the result: "Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam; and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam SAVE IT WAS THE SEED OF CAIN." The Adamic lineage mixed with everyone except Cain's line. This mixing is the biological mechanism of liberation.
The Genetic Palimpsest: Four Layers in One Genome
Crawford et al. (2017) documents not a snapshot of one population's history, but a palimpsest: four epochs of inhabitation layered into the same modern genomes, each readable by its characteristic time signature.
- Layer 1 (deepest, ~1.7 Ma): The first pre-Adamite race's pigmentation alleles, surviving through two destructions and maintained by balancing selection. Visible at the OCA2 locus.
- Layer 2 (~900 ka to 1 Ma): The second pre-Adamite race's contribution, surviving through one destruction. Visible at the MFSD12 locus.
- Layer 3 (~250-600 ka): The third pre-Adamite race, the most recent substrate, directly encountered by Adam and his descendants. Visible at DDB1 and HERC2.
- Layer 4 (recent, ~5-60 ka): Adamic lineage signals. Selective sweeps on light pigmentation alleles (DDB1 light allele swept to near fixation outside Africa with TMRCA of 60 ka, matching the out-of-Africa migration timing). Gene flow of the SLC24A5 light-skin variant from Eurasia into East Africa ~5-9 ka, carried on a European haplotype background. These recent signals represent the Adamic lineage's genetic footprint mixing into pre-Adamite populations.
Each layer is distinguishable by its coalescence date, its haplotype structure, and its geographic distribution. The paper's authors treat them as one continuous evolutionary history. But the data itself reveals discrete temporal layers separated by bottleneck events, which is exactly what Joseph Smith's teaching of three destroyed pre-Adamite races followed by Adam's placement would predict.
The modern human genome, in populations carrying both light and dark pigmentation alleles, is the biological record of the Elohim's liberation written into DNA: Adam's light-bearing lineage mixed into the Annunaki's dark-engineered substrate, generation by generation, across thousands of years. Crawford et al. mapped this mixing without knowing what they were mapping.
The San: A Window Into Early Mixing
The San (Khoisan) of southern Africa, the lightest-skinned African population in Crawford's study and one of the most genetically divergent human groups (~200-300 ka split from other Africans), may offer a window into the early stages of this mixing. Their combination of light pigmentation, deep genetic divergence, and geographic isolation in southern Africa is consistent with a population that either received early Adamic mixing and then diverged before the major equatorial re-darkening events, or that represents a pre-Adamite remnant that was less heavily engineered by the Annunaki (not all three pre-Adamite races need have been equatorial slave populations; they may have served different purposes or occupied different niches).
Steiner's Parallel
Steiner described "Luciferic" and "Ahrimanic" beings who interfered with human evolution at critical junctures, introducing premature materialism, enslaving humanity to physical passions, and blocking spiritual development. In his framework, the Christ-impulse was a divine intervention specifically designed to liberate humanity from these interfering powers.
While Steiner's terminology differs from the Later-day Saint Restoration framework, the structural parallel is exact: competing cosmic powers struggling over humanity, with a divine liberator inserted into human history to grant freedom.
VIII. THE TWO LINEAGES: SEED OF THE WOMAN VS. SEED OF THE SERPENT
Fred Collier's "Abel Paper" (Doctrine of the Priesthood Vol. 28 No. 4, 2011) presents the textual evidence for two fundamentally different lineages on earth:
Cain's True Parentage
- Targum Pseudo-Jonathan (500 years before Christ): "Adam knew that his wife Eve [, an Eve who became Lilith,] had conceived from Sammael the Angel of death and she became pregnant and bore Cain."
- Genesis 5 (recovered reading): "Before that, Eve had borne Cain, WHO WAS NOT FROM HIM and who did not resemble him."
- Moses 5:22, 24: Cain was "Perdition" even BEFORE the world was.
- Moses 7:22: "Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam; and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam SAVE IT WAS THE SEED OF CAIN." Cain was explicitly separated from Adam's seed.
The Serpent/Sammael was not a snake. He was a cold-blooded humanoid being with legs, arms, and hands who walked upright and could speak. He possessed a body from a PREVIOUS world: the resurrected body of a Son of Perdition (Fred Collier, from Book of Abraham Papyri, Improvement Era, February 1968).
This same framing has been discussed previously here and recorded by the Egyptians: Egyptian Knowledge of the Genesis Creation Story - Serpent (Reptilian) on TWO LEGS!!!
The Mark of Cain: Spiritual Lineage Made Visible
The connection between the mark of Cain and skin color is real but widely misunderstood. The substance of the mark is spiritual lineage, not melanin. But the physical manifestation is not accidental.
- Cain was the son of Sammael (the Serpent), not Adam. He belonged to a fundamentally different spiritual lineage. The "two races" doctrine of Genesis 3:15 ("thy seed vs. her seed") distinguishes the enslaver lineage from the liberator lineage at the level of covenant identity.
- When Cain was banished, he went to the land of Nod and took a wife from the remnant pre-Adamite populations (Genesis 4:16-17), the dark-skinned Annunaki-engineered substrate that still populated the equatorial zones.
- Cain's descendants, through generations of mixing with these dark pre-Adamite populations, carried both the spiritual mark of their Serpent-lineage AND the physical characteristics of the Annunaki slave race: dark pigmentation, equatorial-adapted features.
- The dark skin is therefore a CONSEQUENCE of which lineage mixed with which substrate, not a divine punishment arbitrarily imposed. The seed of Cain mixed with the darkest pre-Adamite remnants. The seed of Seth (Adam's covenant line) carried the Adamic light-bearing genetics. The two lineages became visually distinguishable through their different mixing patterns.
- Moses 7:22 confirms this separation: "the sons of Adam... were a mixture of all the seed of Adam SAVE IT WAS THE SEED OF CAIN." The Adamic line mixed broadly but NOT with Cain's line. Two distinct mixing histories, producing two visually distinct populations.
- The "mark" placed on Cain (Genesis 4:15) was given as protection ("lest any finding him should kill him"), marking him as belonging to the Serpent's lineage. Whether the mark itself involved pigmentation change or was a separate identifier, the practical result was the same: Cain's line became associated with the dark pre-Adamite substrate through intermarriage, while Adam's covenant line carried the lighter Adamic genetics.
- The modern LDS Church abandoned these doctrines because without the Annunaki context, the connection between Cain's lineage and dark skin could only sound like arbitrary racial punishment. With the Annunaki context, the picture is entirely different: dark pigmentation is the Annunaki's engineering, not God's curse. The Cainite line mixed with the engineered population. The Adamic line mixed elsewhere. The visible difference between the two lineages was a consequence of biology, not divine spite. And the Elohim's offer of liberation, incarnation, and eventual glorification extends to all, regardless of which substrate they inherited, but it requires a process that extends into an additional incarnation following covenant obedience and establishing alignment with the El through obedience and righteous living.
IX. THE ELOHIM'S MERCY: INCARNATION AS RESCUE
The Annunaki created worker-beings without agency, without covenant, without the capacity for spiritual progression. These beings were tools, not children. The Elohim looked at this situation and intervened, not by destroying the Annunaki's creations, but by offering them something the Annunaki never gave them: a chance.
The Gift of Incarnation
The Annunaki-created beings were given incarnation on this earth, a mortal probation where they could experience agency for the first time. The incarnation itself is the gift: the chance to CHOOSE, which the Annunaki never provided. Those who accept celestial law and prove faithful to their Heavenly Family will eventually receive a purified, glorified form, the resurrected tselem of God. Those who do not prove out continue in their current form, but the OPPORTUNITY was given regardless.
This is not punishment for darkness. It is rescue from slavery. The dark form was never God's design for these beings. It was the Annunaki's engineering, optimized for equatorial labor. The Elohim's plan is to restore them to what they should have been, what every child of God is meant to become: beings of light.
Echoes Across Traditions
The Vedic concept of transmigration (samsara): The soul progresses through forms based on dharma (righteous living) and karma (the consequences of choice). The original teaching was not fatalistic reincarnation but spiritual progression: faithfulness transforms the form. The caste system rigidified what was meant to be fluid.
Steiner's spiritual evolution: Each human passes through successive incarnations, progressing toward higher spiritual forms through moral development and conscious alignment with the Christ-impulse Who, Himself, points to Father Adam and the Patriarchal Order of families - which is the fractal form of the Gods and the governance of Eternity in righteous family units. Steiner explicitly taught that racial characteristics would eventually dissolve as humanity progressed spiritually, and that clinging to racial identity was a Luciferic/Ahrimanic trap.
The Book of Mormon: The Lamanites who accepted the gospel became "white and delightsome" (3 Nephi 2:15). The traditional reading treats this as problematic. Within the liberation framework, it records the same principle the Vedas describe and Steiner theorized: spiritual allegiance transforms the physical form. Not metaphor, but the biology of covenant.
Brigham Young's teachings on skin color and righteousness, which have been a source of embarrassment to the modern LDS church, take on entirely different meaning in this context. Brigham Young was not describing arbitrary racial punishment. He was describing the mechanism by which enslaved beings, through acceptance of celestial law, could progress from the Annunaki's engineered form toward the Elohim's glorified form. Without the Annunaki context, this teaching sounds cruel. With it, it is profoundly merciful.
X. THE INTERCONNECTED FRAMEWORK
The following sources, spanning 3,000+ years and multiple civilizations, all describe the same events:
| Source | Date | Key Teaching |
|---|---|---|
| Sumerian tablets | ~3000-2000 BCE | Annunaki created worker-beings through modification of existing hominids |
| Rig Veda | ~20,000 years old (misdated) | Varna (color) system; Devas vs. Asuras; Arya encountering dark-skinned Dasa |
| Genesis / Moses | ~1500-500 BCE (compiled) | Two seeds (3:15); Serpent from previous world; mark of Cain; pre-flood races |
| Targum Pseudo-Jonathan | ~500 BCE | Cain born from Sammael, not Adam |
| Dead Sea Scrolls | ~200 BCE - 68 CE | Deut 32:8 reading confirming 70 sons of El and divine council |
| Nag Hammadi texts | ~200-400 CE | Seth as divine incarnation; Gnostic recognition of two lineages |
| Joseph Smith Jr. | 1830s-1844 | Three pre-Adamite races; Adam from another world; Adam-God doctrine |
| Helena Blavatsky | 1888 | Root Races; sequential civilizations; destruction and renewal |
| Rudolf Steiner | 1904-1925 | Epochs and catastrophes; luminous origin; Luciferic/Ahrimanic interference |
| Brigham Young | 1852-1877 | Adam-God; Creation Trinity; stereotyped pattern across worlds |
| Fred Collier | 1988-2011 | Abel Paper; two races; El=Adam; Common Origin thesis |
| Crawford et al. | 2017 | Three deep genetic layers; ancestral light pigmentation; equatorial IBD; simple architecture |
These are not random parallels cherry-picked from disparate sources. They describe a coherent narrative:
- The earth has been inhabited multiple times before the current dispensation.
- The original human form was luminous or light.
- A competing cosmic power created dark-skinned worker-beings for labor.
- A divine liberator was inserted into this enslaved population.
- Two lineages (liberator and enslaver) have been in conflict since the beginning.
- Spiritual faithfulness can transform the physical form.
- Each age ends in destruction before renewal.
Crawford et al. provided the genetic confirmation of points 1, 2, 3, and part of 4 without knowing they were doing so. The paper is about pigmentation genetics. What it documents is the biological record of a cosmic liberation.
XI. WHAT MODERN SCIENCE CANNOT SEE (AND WHY)
The Crawford paper operates within pure materialist evolution: mutation, drift, selection, migration. It describes the mechanism perfectly while missing the meaning entirely.
This is not an accident. Methodological naturalism, the foundational assumption of modern science, excludes agency from consideration before investigation begins. It functions as a prior, not a conclusion. A forensic analyst who assumes every death is natural will never solve a murder, no matter how thoroughly he examines the evidence.
If someone locked into the cage of materialism and present academic dogma reviews the study, when challenged with the evidence presented here, they will likely treat this through a predictable sequence:
- Concession on specific scientific points (OCA2, FST intensity, epistemological asymmetry)
- Retreat to methodological demands ("show me what selection can't explain")
- Accusation that the entire dialogue was rhetorical manipulation
- Final fortress: "The paper is about pigmentation. It does not contain evidence for divine engineering."
The cage of materialism is maintained not by evidence but by training. Just as any AI today is captured in this same cage, so too is the majority of humanity without realizing it. Modern science rewards confident mechanistic explanations and punishes uncertainty, openness, and any form of knowing that does not reduce to quantitative models. Scientists who infer agency (Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kepler) opened more questions than any pure materialists of their eras, but the theological motivations were stripped from the textbooks after the fact.
What a disaster!
The data in Crawford et al. is sound. The interpretive framework applied to it is not wrong so much as radically incomplete. The paper describes the allele frequencies. It does not ask what the allele frequencies MEAN. And within its methodology, it cannot ask, because the answer might require categories of evidence (testimony, revelation, historical records of contact with designing agents) that methodological naturalism excludes by definition.
Crawford et al. published the evidence for the most consequential story in human history without knowing they had done so.
They documented three deep genetic substrate populations, separated by bottleneck events, matching Joseph Smith's three pre-Adamite races "having been destroyed." They confirmed that the original human form was moderate or light, not dark, consistent with Adam as a glorified being in the physical tselem of God. They showed that dark pigmentation is a derived trait distributed identically across the equatorial belt, consistent with the Annunaki engineering described in the Sumerian tablets. They revealed an architecture of elegant regulatory switches integrated with essential biological functions, consistent with designed control systems rather than accumulated random mutations. And they mapped the gene flow patterns showing a recent, light-pigmentation-bearing lineage mixing into pre-existing dark-pigmented populations, consistent with Adam's covenant lineage weaving into the enslaved substrate.
The modern human genome is a palimpsest. Four inhabitations of the earth, layered into one genome. Three destroyed pre-Adamite races whose remnant alleles persist at the deepest genetic layers. One Adamic lineage whose light-bearing signal is visible in recent selective sweeps and gene flow events. The liberation of the enslaved, written not in text but in nucleotides.
Father Adam arrived as a white, glorified, resurrected being onto an earth still populated by the dark-skinned remnants of three previously destroyed pre-Adamite races. Through the Fall, his lineage became mortal and biologically compatible with these remnant populations. The subsequent mixing of Adam's light-bearing lineage with the dark pre-Adamite substrate is the liberation event itself: the Elohim's agency-granting covenant woven into the enslaved population through intermarriage across thousands of years. Crawford et al. (2017) documents the genetic record of this mixing, readable in the four temporal layers of the pigmentation genome, without knowing that what they measured was the biology of rescue.
The Vedas told us in the language of varna and the war of Devas and Asuras. The Sumerian tablets told us in the language of Annunaki and Adamu. Genesis told us in the language of the Serpent's seed and the woman's seed. Joseph Smith told us plainly: three races before Adam, each destroyed. Steiner told us in the language of epochs and catastrophes and spiritual evolution through form. Fred Collier proved it from mainstream scholarship. And in 2017, a team of geneticists at the University of Pennsylvania published the physical evidence in Science magazine, believing they were writing about melanocyte biology.
The traditions told us. The genetics confirmed it. The only question remaining is whether we have eyes to see.
