Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We have a chat today with Michael from his home in Butte, Montana. Michael is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University in Butte where he actively researches hominin evolutionary anatomy, human variation, archaeology, biomedicine, and the UFO phenomenon.

His research examines the premise that ‘aliens’ may be our human descendants, returning from the future to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past. He brings us through his early fascination with the unknown as a young boy and his personal follow through on his what ifs straight into a life in anthropology – and back beyond.

We learn about his experience holding ancient skulls, non-local consciousness and the question on whether or not rocks and mountains are ‘alive’. We talk manufactured stigma, telepathic downloads and the support of his university in his quest to investigate the ufo question with both a scientific fastidiousness and an open-minded viewpoint of the world informed by his own mystical experiences.

Straight-up, straight-talk.
