The Anunnaki encountered the ape-like creatures. They ate plants like sheep and drank water from ditches. They had shaggy hair over their entire body and wrestled with animals. Yet he was intelligent. He destroyed traps and filled in pits built to capture animals. He enjoyed the company of animals and is depicted on many cylinder seals as a shaggy ape-man with his animal friends.

They realized all they had to do was domesticate this ape-man. But this was not that easy. Man's physique had to be changed so that Man could literally replace the Anunnaki working in the fields and in the mines. He needed the ability to grip and manipulate tools. His brain size needed to be increased to enable speech centers. He must be able to communicate with the overlords. The only method known to the Nephilim was to genetically manipulate Man's DNA.

Although, the Anunnaki were scientifically tens of thousands of years more advanced than ancient Man, they still have problems creating the perfect Man. It was a trial and error process with many failures and few successes. But eventually, the shaggy ape-man was transformed into a creature that had a smooth and hairless body.

In Dogon mythology, who claim to be originally from Egypt now live in an isolated mountainous region of Bandiagara, south of the Sahara Desert in Mali, West Africa, claim that we were created by beings that genetically engineered our DNA. In fact, Shannon Dorey in her book "The Master of Speech" states that our DNA was manipulated three times and that three different versions of humans were designed. This was due to failed experiments by our creators, amphibious aliens that landed on earth with "great noise and wind". These aliens, named the Nummo, didn't take into consideration the problems of combining their androgynous (both male and female) DNA with the DNA of single sexed animals (us).4

The Nummo change the Earth animals who are "naked and speechless" by using the "fibers" or the DNA from the Nummo world. The lack of intelligence on the Earth is identified as "disorder" that the Nummo want to end. By combining their DNA with the Earth animals they order the universe.
