After all, the onset of 'modern' humans over the past 100,000 years is coincident with the last Ice Age - with civilization sprouting during the current interglacial (if that's what this warm period really is).
But it is also interesting to consider the following thought. If the Ice Epoch began 4 million years ago because of a change in the orbit of the Dark Star, then that might also have brought the Anunnaki to the planetary solar system. This is because as the Earth and other planets moved slightly further away from the sun, the Dark Star must have been migrating inwards. That means that the planet Nibiru might have entered the planetary zone of the sun for the first time in many millions of years.
This is a rather fantastic claim, and readers more focused upon the science contained in this book may balk at such a suggestion. One can quite understand such a reaction, and it is probably why the Planet X debate is avoided by mainstream scientists for the most part. This association between the potential physical reality of a massive Planet X, and questions about our own origins, would become more profound should the Dark Star actually be discovered. These are high stakes indeed.
