Genesis Revised, by Frank Porco, MD

The Book

Genesis Revised is a single sustained argument about cosmic, biological, and civilizational origins. 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: the reinterpretation of accepted facts in light of what genetics, geology, and the archaeological record now show.

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 book

Excerpts

Introduction

This opus is not a simple restatement of familiar science or a recycled compilation of interpretations built on outdated or incomplete evidence. Instead, it offers novel perspectives on established facts and introduces New Theories as the reader is guided along a Journey of Discovery through the full sweep of cosmic and human prehistory: from the Big Bang to the Dawn of Civilization.

Chapter 3
Australopithecus

Australopithecus was a chimpanzee in stature and brain, yet walked upright like a human. It was the first semi-aquatic bipedal primate: an evolutionary outcome not of arid savannas but of the fluvial and lacustrine littoral of the East African Rift Valley.

Chapter 12
The rise of civilization

The birth of civilization at Sumer is an illusion, producing a false archeological horizon. Recent discoveries serve to prove that what we consider to be civilization predates Sumer by many thousands of years.

Chapter 14
The Aegean

Western civilization was not the story of progress; at its root, civilization is nothing more than the habituation to subjugation.

Chapter 16
Sundaland

The world's flood myths, describing cataclysmic inundation, forced dispersal, and the rebuilding of civilization, are echoes of this real prehistorical event.

The Author

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 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 spans geology, genomics, archaeology, mythology, and astrophysics.

Genesis Revised: The Untold Story of Prehistory is the culmination of that inquiry.
