(Before Its News) Do we have alien genes in our human DNA? Could this be the ultimate proof of alien life? According to a team of researchers working at the Human Genome Project, this appears to be the case. The team believes that more than 95% of the non-coding sequences (also called junk DNA) found in human DNA is actually the genetic codes of alien lifeforms. These sequences are actually found in all lifeforms found on Earth but they make up a larger portion of the human genome than in any other species known. It is these sequences that the team is using to explain many gaps in our understanding of how human beings have “evolved” over the ages. For those of us who wonder if earthlings are the only intelligent species in the Milky Way and beyond, try this theory on for size: Two scientists in Kazakhstan believe humans may have an extraterrestrial stamp embedded into our genetic code, a mathematical message that would not be explained by Darwins theory of biological evolution. The scientists are suggesting that an advanced alien civilization seeded our galaxy eons ago with an ET signal that eventually found its way to Earth, implanting a genetic code into humans, reports Discovery. Physicist Vladimir I. shCherbak of al-Farabi Kazakh National University of Kazakhstan and astrobiologist Maxim A. Makukov of the Fesenkvo Astrophysical Institute refer to this far-out concept as biological SETI. The results of their research -- The Wow! signal of the terrestrial genetic code -- can be found in the peer-reviewed journal, Icarus. The title of their study, which was partially financed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, refers to an unexplained radio signal detected by SETI scientists in 1977. Watch Arizona State Univ. Astrobiologist Paul Davies On Alien Message In A Bottle While SETI -- the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence -- relies on the use of radio telescopes and signal-processing technology to search the heavens for alien life, shCherbak and Makukov theorize theres a better way of detecting ETs. The Kazakhstan scientists believe theres a possible intelligent signal within the human genetic code. It has been repeatedly proposed to expand the scope for SETI, and one of the suggested alternatives to radio is the biological media, they write in the abstract of their study. Genomic DNA is already used on Earth to store non-biological information. Though smaller in capacity, but stronger in noise immunity is the genetic code. ... Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore, it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature. Makukov and shCherbak contend that life throughout the galaxy may have been spread by intelligent design, that instead of life developing as a result of random processes, maybe extraterrestrials had a hand in it. But, of course, that begs the question: If the seeds of life somehow originated with ETs, who first designed the designers?
