Genesis Revised — front cover

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.

Frank Porco, MD

Dr. Frank Porco is an independent scholar and former emergency physician. After earning his medical degree from the University of Rome, La Sapienza, he spent two decades practicing emergency medicine in New York City and along the New Jersey shore.

A career-ending disability redirected his focus towards a decade-long investigation into the deep past: the origins of humankind, the rise of civilization, and the forces shaping the human condition. Unaffiliated with any institution, his work draws on a cross-disciplinary scientific approach to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Author's note: arguably the BISAC code should be NON-CLASSIFIABLE (NON000000).

"From the Big Bang to Atlantis, from chaos to consciousness, the story has always been the same: the Universe striving to know itself. And through us, it does."
