The Beginning was the End – Oscar Kiss Maerth – Hermanus Bargain Box
“The Beginning Was the End: Knowledge Can Be Eaten” is a book by Oscar Kiss Maerth, a German author. It was originally published in 1971 and presents a unique and controversial theory about human evolution and the relationship between humans and apes.
In the book, Maerth suggests that early humans did not evolve from apes as mainstream evolutionary theory suggests but rather, the roles were reversed. According to his theory, apes were the original creatures with advanced knowledge, and they possessed a form of civilization. Humans, on the other hand, were inferior creatures who scavenged for food and eventually preyed on these knowledgeable apes. Maerth proposes that humans evolved by cannibalizing the brains of the apes and absorbing their knowledge. This, he argues, was the “forbidden fruit” that humans obtained in the Garden of Eden.
It’s important to note that Maerth’s theory is highly controversial and not widely accepted in the scientific community. Mainstream scientific understanding is that humans and apes share a common ancestor, and human evolution is a complex process influenced by various factors.
“The Beginning Was the End” is more of a speculative work than a scientific one and should be read with a critical perspective. While it has gained attention for its provocative ideas, it does not reflect the consensus view of human evolution.
