The Strategic Aware-Survival (SAS) Theory: The Bio-Spiritual Bridge
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The Strategic Aware-Survival (SAS) Theory proposes that archaeology and Genesis do not contradict but complement each other. Human remains dating back some 300,000 years are identified as 'Nephesh humans': intelligent, skilled beings with the life force shared with all creatures, but without the divine breath (Neshamah). Adam, formed roughly 7,000–8,000 years ago, is the first human to receive the Neshamah directly from God, gaining knowledge of God and, after the Fall, moral conscience, fear and awareness of death. This 'Strategic Awareness' gave Adam's line a survival advantage through three eras (Harmony, Enmity and Dread). The pre-Adamic population was gradually absorbed into Adam's line through intermarriage (Genesis 6:1–4) and, after a regional Flood, through the Babel dispersion, so that every living human descends from Adam. The model draws on Hebrew textual analysis, genetics, archaeology and linguistics.
