Question: What about the variety of races visiting earth and the reason for
it?

Wendelle Stevens: In a number of cases that I have studied, alien races have
been
asked how old they were and how long they live. The answer usually was that
they lived between 600 and 1,000 years. So, if we look at that and say that
80% of them lived that long and the rest lived 300 or 400 years, and compare
that to our life span, 80 years, what does that tell you? It tells you that
there is something peculiar on this planet that shortens our physical life
span, and that our short life span is not normal in the universe or even in
our part of the galaxy. Some have said that our short life span is due to
the harsh radiation coming from our sun, and the loss of the vapor envelope
thousands of years ago (when we lived to be 800 years old) reduced our life
span to 10% of its former length. We have had that ever since. That event
may have meant that we became "rats in the lab" for other species to study
the effect of this, where we now have short life spans, harsh radiation and
rapid mutation rates on this planet, which is why this planet has more
species and sub-classes of life than any other planet the extraterrestrials
visit. We have become a useful laboratory for research in that respect, and
our short life span allows rapid study of genetic changes.

So where's the proof you claimed was here, Flaffer?
