It is very believable when you think that every culture on earth thinks of their gods as living in the sky. From the Greeks, Egyptians, Native American and Norse they all believed the great father lived in the sky.
A lot of the ancient civilisation buildings can only be truly appreciated from the air.
The Innuit's believe their ancestors came on the wings of a great bird, and the Cherokee believe their ancestors came from above.
Fascinating stuff, it's been many years since I read it I might download it and read it again.
What I will say is that I have always believed homo sapiens had been given a leg up by someone or something.
The rest of the Apes haven't progressed much and the other human like species have become extinct, though I think in the case of the Neanderthals it was more a case of assimilation. The European races and Asian races have Neanderthal DNA, but there is none in African.
a good read is the space ships of Ezekiel.by Josef blumrich..
