Posthuman Blues

They might be giants, or dwarfs

"But their adult size -- comparable to a modern 4-year-old -- had an upside, too, apparently allowing them to survive in isolation for tens of thousands of years. The existence of these little people, reported in the journal Nature last month, provides new scientific fodder for a mysterious evolutionary phenomenon that can radically shrink or balloon a species' size when it becomes isolated on islands."

This piece reiterates my theory that some "aliens" are terrestrial hominids that evolved in seclusion. Some of these dwarfish bipeds are, of course, extinct. But others may have actually surpassed our own technological muster long ago. Still others may be living undetected in our midst. Imagine thousands of scattered individuals of an undiscovered humanoid race eking out a life parallel, but only occasionally intersecting, our own.

World folklore is rich with accounts of strange "little people" existing on the margins of normal human existence. If these accounts are based on fact, then it forces one to wonder how "they" are responding to the current ecological plight. What is their agenda -- if any? Do they desire to communicate? If so, it may commonly take the form of perceived "extraterrestrial" contact, ensuring their true origin is thoroughly muddled and misidentified.
