SPOILERS for City Of Death - Classic Who
There's been a lot of conjecture regarding the similarity of Gallifreyans and Humans. Why are they so similar? of course it's possible that Gallifreyans, being from a long time in the future are one of the many evolutions of the human race, and this may still be the case.
However, City of Death brings to light an interesting, and somewhat reckless event on the Doctor's half.
The doctor travels back to 400 million BC or something like that.... the moments just before a wave of radiaton from an alien ship will spark life in a primordial soup. Life that will eventually evolve into humans.
The doctor touches it. He scoops some of the "soup" into his hand, examines it, passes it to a human associate, and throws it back in.
Surely, this single action has meant that now, modenr day human DNA AND Gallifreyan DNA has been introduced to the primordial soup. This would suggest that the Doctor is actually the one who introduced life to our planet. Scientists speculate our DNA is extra terrestrial, well in the Whoniverse it would apear this is the case and it came from the Doctor.
Thoughts?
