ERBmania! - Caspak is an Enigma

CASPAK IS AN ENIGMA

By Rick Johnson

Yet, despite this evolutionary process on Earth, we see nothing that resembles in any form the individual development found on Caspak.

To briefly, and in overly simplistic terms, describe what I mean, consider that on Earth an Amoeba will produce another amoeba but on Caspak, an amoeba will produce a ‘tadpole' which will grow into another amoeba and so on for seven generations. Now normally an amoeba will either divide into two equal and exact amoebas which will continue their lives or two amoebas will mate, exchange DNA and then produce four younger amoebas each of which is slightly different from their parents, but still amoebas. But no Earthly amoeba will produce a ‘tadpole' as young.

Then, on Caspak, something wonderful and completely unexplainable happens. That seventh generation amoeba may either become a normal amoeba dividing by a-sexual fission or by mating (called on Caspak "cos-ata-lo") or it may spontaneously change from an amoeba to a paramecium (called on Caspak "cor-sva-jo"). Rather than producing a ‘child' which is a mutation-paramecium as in the chicken, it has jumped to the next stage of evolution by itself. It was an amoeba but now it is a paramecium. This is comparable to a chimpanzee going to sleep in a zoo and waking up a human being. And not just a human being, but a human being invested with all knowledge of human language and culture and a desire and ability to join into human society.

To return to Caspak, this paramecium will now produce more ‘tadpoles' that grow into amoebas and each of these amoebas will eventually change into paramecium which will produce these ‘tadpoles' which will continue this pattern for seven generations until this seventh generation paramecium will either become a normal paramecium and reproduce by asexual fission or by sexual reproduction or it may spontaneously change into the next step of evolution.

Not all will change, most will reach that level and reproduce as a normal Earthly animal of that species thus becoming cos-ata-lo. Only a small percentage will spontaneously change into another animal, cor-sva-ja. But for those that do, they will produce more ‘tadpoles' that will follow that beings evolutionary history. And thus life continues.

This constant ‘change from tadpole' will continue up the evolutionary ladder until the peak is reached. For many animals, this is a dinosaur, for others a bird, for others a mammal and so on.

Imagine this amoeba popping out a tadpole which changes into another amoeba which pops out another tadpole and so on for seven generations. Then this seventh amoeba morphs into a paramecium which produces tadpoles which become amoebas which become paramecium which produce tadpoles which do the same for seven generations until the seventh paramecium changes into a sponge. This sponge now produced tadpoles which become amoebas which become paramecium which become sponges until the seventh sponge morphs into a shrimp which produces tadpoles and so on for ever.

Eventually one of these tadpoles changes into a fish and the seventh fish morphs into a salamander which lays tadpoles which become amoebas and so on until the seventh salamander morphs into a lizard and so on to rodent then monkey then ape then hominid. Each level being far more intricate than I am describing for there may be many fish forms involved before that seventh and most advanced fish becomes an early amphibian.

In hominids this is more noticeable. The ape lays tadpoles into the water which will become amoebas which will become paramecium etc until some creature morphs into the second generation ape which lays tadpoles etc. The seventh generation ape will either become a normal ape which will mate and produce normal ape young (cos-ata-lo), thus ending it's evolutionary morphing or the seventh generation ape will morph (cor-sva-lo) into an Alus, a voiceless proto-hominid. This alus will leave the ape band, travel north and join a band of alus, taking another mate and laying tadpoles which follow the pattern until the seventh generation alus may morph into a Bo-Lu, a ‘club-man' and so the pattern continues with the Bo-Lu becoming Sto-Lu which become Band-Lu which become Kro-Lu which become either Ga-lu or Weiroo (weir-lu?).

Note that at each stage when the ‘lower' hominid morphs into the ‘higher' level hominid, the physical change is accompanied by increased brain cells which somehow ‘create' or ‘aquire' all the necessary cultural, technical and linguistic information of that level. It is as if a child from the ghetto who dropped out of school at six years were to walk into IBM and suddenly know that he should put on a lab-coat and then immediately with no schooling at all, sit at a keyboard and program perfectly.

Once a Kro-lu morphs, most will become Ga-lu, the modern man but in the past some occasionally morphed into the ancestral Weiroo. As the morphing of the animals on Caspak follows the evolutionary path of animals on Earth, we must assume that the Weiroo also existed on Earth. Perhaps the Earthly Weiroo gave rise to the legends of winged angels or demons in Europe and Tengu in Japan? But on earth, the winged human was an evolutionary dead-end and either died our or was killed off by the normal humans, humans who show an unwillingness to share their world with anyone who is different.

But on Caspak the ancient Weiroo reached their seventh generation far earlier than the Ga-lu did. The Weiroo were males only, able to produce only male Weiroo children thus the Weiroo were forced to seek out seventh generation ga-lu women and kidnap them for

breeding purposes. These captive Ga-lu women are kept in harems, raped often and any rare ga-lu females born would be kept as breeders, any galu males born would be killed immediately, only the Weiroo males being allowed to live and only those with larger and stronger wings. The belief is that Weiroo can father only males which implies a hormonal problem with their x-chromosome.

The Ga-lu were then forced to hide their ‘normal' women, to keep them locked away to protect them form Weiroo abductions and so the two races fight to produce the most number of ‘normal' cos-at-lo children, for the winner wins Caspak.

The question that is foremost is "HOW could such a strange and unnatural form of evolution exist?" This question has plagued us ever since the discovery of Caspak around 1918. And the answer may be at hand.

In the late 19th century a German philosopher/naturalist named Ernst Haeckel developed an idea that has since become discredited. He watched the fetal development of man and saw what appeared to be an evolutionary change within the womb. Haeckel saw that man started as a ‘tadpole' which mated with an egg to produce an early and simple unicellular organism. This organism then grew and changed, morphed onto a series of creatures that resembled the evolutionary ancestors of man. At one stage the fetus resembles a shrimp, at another a fish complete with gills, at still another a monkey. This observation caused Haeckel to state that "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny". Or the biological development of a fetus copies that animal's evolutionary development. But how or why? Did Haeckel visit Caspak and develop his idea from there? Or were his ideas also thought of by another race? Saroda Mara believes the latter.

Building upon this, I submit that in the past, possibly thousands of years but certainly not millions, an alien race visited Earth and expressed an interest in Terrestrial biology. Having few references in common, this race created or discovered an isolated island surrounded by icy waters that would prevent biological escape and they then collected a series of earthly animals and humans. Extracted their DNA and modified it into a tadpole form of life that would morph from one animal to another, always following the biological evolution of the planet.

These aliens then placed their experimental ‘tadpoles' into the warm waters of Caspak and settled down to watch Earthly evolution proceed. Any tadpoles or animals that escaped Caspak would freeze in the Antarctic waters and thus prevent contamination of the outside world.

Once these aliens realized the flaws in the ‘Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny' theory, they simply abandoned Caspak and sought answers elsewhere.

One wonders how long ago this experiment was created but we can safely state that it was within human evolution which means that as Ga-Lu (Homo Sapiens) are present, the experiment was initiated within the last 40,000 years.

I believe that it may be possible to narrow the date down by analyzing the lifespan of each generation of creature. A bacterium reproduces every 20 minutes therefore it would take "20 minutes times seven generations" to move to the next level which comes out to 2.3 hours from the time of the first bacterium to the first amoeba. By then taking the reproductive lifespan of the amoeba, multiplying that by 7 generations to the paramecium and adding that number to the time the life form was a bacterium then doing the same we can look at the ‘normal' Homo Sapiens that came from the Ga-Lu and see the time the Caspak experiment has been running.

The only information that we need are: how many creatures followed that first ‘tadpole' and how long does it take each level to move to the next stage?

Looking at hominids we see seven linear forms: Ape, Alus, Bo-lu, Sto-lu, Band-lu, Kro-lu and Ga-lu. Therefore with seven forms of hominid each requiring seven generations to reach the next form we can conclude that a) the aliens who created the Caspak experiment used a base-7 for their numbering system as we use base-10 and b) there will be seven forms to each level. Seven fish before the amphibian level is reached, seven amphibians before the reptile level, seven reptiles before the dinosaur level, seven dinosaurs before the bird and mammal levels are reached (note that birds are not in our evolutionary tree but are distant cousins) etc. Though in reality, there will be seven forms of jawless fish before the first jawed fish and seven forms of jawed fish before the first amphibian and seven forms of salamander before the first reptile and so on just as there were seven forms of hominid on Caspak.

Since evolution is not a path but a tree, there will be many animals that will simply cease to morph and so the final product will be thousands of separate animal species, each of which will become ‘normal' and the end of the experiment (assuming that it hasn't been abandoned) will be determined by the number of species currently on Caspak and the rate that it takes each on to become cos-ata-lo. It is probable that the simpler and faster breeding creatures have already become cos-ata-lo and any additions to their race are those cor-sva-jo that have ceased to morph.

But eventually the Caspak experiment will finalize and either the original aliens that created Caspak will return to collect their results or the abandoned experiment will finalize on it's own, all life forms becoming cos-ata-lo or normal.

Or perhaps the aliens are still watching and may resent our interference with their laboratory, which is why no one else has ever found or if found, returned from Caspak.
