 Well, I feel this is not needed.  There is no evidence which I have seen 
which provides evidence for humans to have some special origin independent of 
all other life on earth.

 Firstly, the parallel universes is a quantum mechanical interpretation which 
does not have any of these paradoxes.  You can go back in time and kill your 
parents and still be born..it takes a bit of explaining however.  I still 
doubt, that this phenomena we document around the world is related to time 
traveling intelligence.
