Title: Flakier than Tony the Tiger, but a lot of fun --
Product review: This book is good for some laughs, but also reiterates a number of problems in conventional concepts of human origins. Barclay cites and quotes from a number of other UFO and alien books and authors, and generally breezes through a very controversial thesis -- that humans were genetically engineered for use as pets by an intelligent reptilian species which lived alongside their relatives, the dinosaurs. This isn't that different from Sitchin's opus maggots, but is much more fun, and much scarier. See also Elaine Morgan's books, including the recent The Scars of Evolution (019509431X), which rehashes her aquatic ape origin hypothesis; The Sirius Mystery (089281750X), which is fun to contemplate in connection with our possible aquatic origin; and Mankind, Child of the Stars (1886940061) by Otto O. Binder and Max H. Flindt, which is cited a lot by Barclay.
