Premise

Genesis Revised is a single sustained argument about origins — cosmic, biological, civilizational. It revisits what the consensus narratives of human prehistory have settled on, and shows where the evidence has moved past them. It is revisionist history in the strict sense: not the invention of new facts, but the reinterpretation of accepted ones in light of what genetics, geology, and the archaeological record now allow us to see.

What this book is — and what it isn't

This is
  • Revisionist history
  • Narrative non-fiction
  • Written by a physician
  • Grounded in the published record
  • Synthetic across geology, genomics, archaeology, mythology, astrophysics
  • What the author calls Panology — the study of everything
This is not
  • Alternative history that fabricates facts
  • Ancient-aliens speculation
  • A conspiracy reframe of consensus history
  • A religious or anti-religious polemic

From the Sundaland chapter

Compared to the Ancient Near East, very little is known about SouthEast Asia during Mesolithic times. The most obvious reason lies in the early European focus on the Near East — its rich heritage, relative proximity, and arid climate conducive to artifact preservation.

SouthEast Asia, by contrast, with its thick jungles, sweltering heat, and high humidity, presents a far more difficult and dangerous environment to work in, and is a poor preserver of relics. Compounding this, the region lost a landmass equivalent in size to the Indian subcontinent due to rising sea levels over a relatively brief span of 6,000 years, between 14,000 and 8,200 YA.

Despite these obstacles, genomic research from the past two decades points directly to SouthEast Asia as a region of prime importance in the early development of modern civilization.

The birth of civilization at Sumer is an illusion, producing a false archeological horizon.

About the author

forthcoming

Frank Porco, MD

Frank Porco is a practicing physician whose long parallel inquiry into origins — geological, biological, civilizational — has produced his first book-length work. Genesis Revised is the synthesis of that inquiry: a single argument that holds across deep time, evolutionary biology, prehistoric migration, and the cultural record of how each of those stories has been remembered.
