Aliens and Strange Creatures

Ancient Astronaut theorists have long proposed that Earth is an extraterrestrial laboratory. If so, does it extend beyond humans into the animal kingdom? Accounts of animalist gods can be found across the globe, including insectoid and reptilian deities that curiously mirror modern alien encounters. Might this point to a direct extraterrestrial tie to the strange creatures on our planet, from Bigfoot and Mothman--to the evolutionary oddities that defy natural development on Earth.
