A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Biological anthropologist Michael P. Masters develops the hypothesis that some reported beings and craft could represent future human descendants returning through time, drawing on hominin evolution, anatomy, abduction narratives, and models of time travel.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It gives a prominent 'ultraterrestrial' or future-human proposal its strongest book-length presentation by the scholar most associated with it. Including the argument directly lets readers examine its actual reasoning rather than encounter it only through summaries or clips.
Good starting place if…
You want to understand the future-human hypothesis from its principal contemporary advocate and can distinguish a multidisciplinary possibility argument from an established scientific explanation.
Know before you begin…
Masters is a credentialed biological anthropologist, but the book moves far beyond established anthropology into speculative inference from contested encounter reports and unresolved physics. His academic position does not verify the UAP accounts, time travel, or the proposed explanation.
