The Original Myth Of Man

Here’s the original myth of man, shared orally many moons and generations before the invention of writing:

“In the time of the beginning of our peoples, in the time of the ancients, there were four sisters roaming the land, and each birthed a child that was unique from the others. Four different humans, living upon the land in peace and harmony. Then one day, one child ate a root that made him sick, and he became smarter and faster and more aggressive than the other children. In his newfound self-important haste to claim all the land as his own, he spilled the blood and brought the death of his siblings upon the earth. This is why we spill the blood of our own to this very day, and suffer the deathly wrath of Mother Nature, in turn.”

The geological record (history of the planet Earth) shows clearly that we human Sapiens were the *last* evolution of the human species on this planet – not the only, and not the first.

Why, just a mere 15,000 years ago, there were two distinct human species co-habitating this Earth together. Human Denisovans and human Sapiens. 40,000 years ago, there were three. Human Neanderthal, Denisovan, and Sapiens on this Earth. 50,000 years ago, there were four distinct human species. Human Flores, Neanderthal, Denisovan, and Sapiens.

All three non-Sapiens species of human went extinct, in their own time, directly after human Sapiens (“modern” humans) showed up in their areas of the planet. Yes, we human Sapiens killed off our brothers and sister species in our quest to dominion the planet!

The geological record does not give a damn what we human Sapiens wrote down – onto tablets and scrolls, a very mere 5,000 to less years ago – as our imagined histories of the Earth. We can believe in those adult-level fairy tales all we want, but it doesn’t change the actual history of the Earth to do so. No matter how much “faith” you have in your human Sapiens-centered stories, the ground does not lie about the truth of human Sapiens evolution upon this planet, and our displaced disruption to the natural order!

I like to think of human Sapiens as the human primate equivalent of a world-wide viral pandemic upon the planet Earth. We have done just as much, if not demonstrably more, ecological damage than any plague that has ever swept this Earth!

And, down deep, every human Sapiens knows this is the fundamental truth of our kind. For, to this very day, we divide ourselves – our *single* very varied and colorful species – into different races and cultures, in order to further continue this process of competing, warring, and killing off each other and other life on the planet. All for one species inherent purpose: to remain indifferently dominant over the planet Earth and all life upon it.

We see ourselves as great, masterfully and divinely “created” – aka, special. But, this species inherent blindness to our reality – because we confuse our human fictions with demonstrable reality – has historically made us, the “modern” humans, the ultimate natural plague upon this planet, that we call Earth!

As a sentient species, we are not capable of being, living, and remaining peaceful amongst each other, and staying sustainably in balance with the natural environment around us. And, our imagined gods, will not save us from ourselves – only *we* can do this!

If we don’t learn soon – meaning, evolve – we too will face our extinction as a species. And, there will be no human species replacement to remember us by. All our creations will return to the dust we created them from, and plant life will cover and bury what still remains until the ocean takes over. Think about this!

Here is a page on my favorite of the four recent human species: the 3 foot tall “Hobbit” people of Indonesia!

Homo floresiensis
Nickname: the Hobbit
Where Lived: Asia (Indonesia)
When Lived: About 100,000 – 50,000 years ago

We need some myths, I feel, based in evidential reality, to remind us of our historical place geologically in the history of the planet Earth. It would begin with something like this: See my quoted myth at top of this page!

Here is the Jewish-written human origin myth, as it is actually shared in the original ancient Hebrew scrolls. Note, which later modern Judaism and Christianity reinterpreted, to fit Greek ideals of the nature of physical reality. The original version, summarized here, goes as follows:

“When the creator YHWH god formed the land and sky from the already existent chaotic watery abyss – what we now call Earth – and, then, created life, all creatures including humans in general, and, then, formed a garden in the East to birth forth Levant specific creatures and the foreparents of the peoples of the Levant and, then, wiped out all the peoples and creatures on the land, save for one extended Jewish family and all creatures that rode the ark with them and, then, sowed language divisions among the humans to keep them from becoming as power as “God” and, then, divided the land between “He” and all the lower gods – each god their own nation – keeping the Levant to “Himself” and the Jewish people as “His” property, his subjects to rule over, and, then, personally guided them into nationhood as a covenanted “chosen” people and, then, the Jewish people became led by two human messiahs, anointed ones, a king and a priest … YHWH god, then, stopped being directly involved in the affairs of humans, preferring to visit Earth only through the Temple chamber and in non-coporeal form, and making “His” will now known through the words of selected prophets and prophetesses.”

Human Sapiens, modern humans, having been alone for so long, tens of thousands of years since our killing off the other human species, have forgotten our actual biological origins and the myths we orally shared about them. Because, between our leaving Africa to explore the rest of the world to the advent of clay tablet and papyrus scroll hand-writing, the period of time was so long – thus, we forgot – it was easy for us, in our inherent self-centeredness as a sentient human primate species, to come to believe that we were special created by one of our human imagined gods and goddesses. And, thus, are somehow more important than all other life on this planet Earth, and that this world must have been created solely and specifically for us. This is nature of the modern human condition – self-conceitedness, and a failing to realize our natural evolved place in the ecosystem of this planet. Isn’t it about time – now, that we know better through science – that we returned to the original myths, and gave recognition to the other human primate species that had a part in our birth and development as modern human beings?

Let’s read the Original Myth of Man one more time:

“In the time of the beginning of our peoples, in the time of the ancients, there were four sisters roaming the land, and each birthed a child that was unique from the others. Four different humans, living upon the land in peace and harmony. Then one day, one child ate a root that made him sick, and he became smarter and faster and more aggressive than the other children. In his newfound self-important haste to claim all the land as his own, he spilled the blood and brought the death of his siblings upon the earth. This is why we spill the blood of our own to this very day, and suffer the deathly wrath of Mother Nature, in turn.”

Here is a very accurate English translation of this very accurate foreign language translation, above, that I made of the Jewish creation myths in the original Hebrew language:

Please look at this! I am going to tell you a story from the Torah. The Torah is the cherished book of myths and laws of the Jewish people. Please, listen to this story. It does not matter if you believe the Torah stories to be simply unbelievable! Please, still listen!

At the beginning of YHWH god’s creating the land and skies, there was this chaotic water-world abyss that had no definable shape. And the breath of YHWH god was moving over the water. The water had no light to see with, had no land to walk upon, and had nothing to see. So YHWH god created light in itself, light that had no definable source for its existence, in order to see what it is that he would like to do next.

Afterwards, now that he can see what he is doing, YHWH god formed the land and skies from out of the chaotic watery abyss. First, he separated the waters above from the waters below, and formed the land and mountains to stand on. Then, he formed the air for all life to breathe. And, after this, he gathered the waters below into one place, so that the land has a an ocean side and has a mountain side.

Afterwards, YHWH god formed the seaweed kind plants of the water and formed the vine kind growing plants of the land that produce fruit to eat upon. YHWH god found them delicious, and said that they are good to eat!

Afterwards, YHWH god formed the lights of the sky – the sun and moon and stars – and he threw them up into the air to stay within the firmament holding up the waters above. He made them rotate around each other, as signs for the seasons in the sky.

After this, YHWH god formed lots and lots of fish kind and sea turtle kind to swim in the water. Then, he formed the birds to fly in the air. Next, YHWH god formed the gecko kind and the pig kind and the dog kind to run around on top of the ground.

Afterwards, YHWH god formed the humans, male and female, to live and work upon the land. He made them very smart, in the image of the lower gods and goddesses. Then, YHWH god grew tired from all his creative work, and he took a day off, the seventh day, to rest from all his creating.

After resting for a day from all his creative work, YHWH god then formed a garden in the East of the land, and molded a special kind of servant human to till the garden for him, and that he, YHWH god, will rule over.

Afterwards, YHWH god saw how lonely this servant human was in the garden, so he made different kinds of animals for his garden, and had the human name each one of them. The human gladly named each animal friend of the garden, but he was still lonely. YHWH god felt bad, so he made the human fall asleep, and molded from his ribcage another servant human to be a helpmate in the garden. When the human awoke, he called her “woman,” for from “man,” as he now called himself, she was taken.

This is why males and females come together to make babies, and is how the indigenous first peoples of the Levant came to be. At least in our myths. It is the Jewish people who share these stories to our children, eventually writing them down so that we always remember. There are so many more stories after this, that it is worth every minute of time to study Torah!
