Summary Report: 

In the book „Alles Evolution – oder was?“ or in English „Evolution Is Wrong“ Dr. Erich von Däniken states that there isnt yet a explanation of satisfactory for the wandering of the Eels, similar as the Salmons run in the fields of evolutionary developmental biology. Until today the wandering of Eels remains an unsolved mystery why they wander from the rivers around 6500 Kilometers to the far distant Sargasso sea.

Here is a freely translated excerpt of Erich von Dänikens book „Alles Evolution – oder was?“:
„…they do exactly the opposite of what the salmon do. The latter swim from the salt water towards the headwaters of the rivers, their birthplace. The eels practice it the other way around: they swim from the rivers to the distant, salty Sargasso Sea – their birthplace. The Sargasso Sea lies between Florida, the Bahamas and Bermuda and is larger than the Mediterranean Sea. There, the female eels spawn and die. The males bring their sperm over the spawn, and tiny eggs grow. These become larvae, which drift with the ocean currents to Europe. Here they mature into juvenile eels that fight their way up the rivers in large schools. After a few years, the females among them become sexually mature. Then their appearance changes: The dark eel becomes a shiny silvery fish body adapted to the sea.

The eels want to return to their birthplace and swim down the rivers. Sometimes there are problems in doing so. In an article about eel migrations, Carsten Jasner writes: „If the way to the river is cut off because the animals live in ponds or pools, they unceremoniously meander overland.“ This is made possible by the animals fantastic adaptation to their environment by means of special gills and the fact that they can breathe through their (moist) skin. Moreover, they can exist in both freshwater and seawater. As with salmon, wide-awake scientists are searching for the reasons behind eel migration. Norwegian researchers around, marine biologist Caroline Durif put the animals in closed tanks and exposed them to different magnetic fields. Depending on the magnetic field and water temperature, the eels oriented themselves in different directions.

But what inner compulsion steers them year after year to leave their optimal conditions, nutrient-rich river environment and head for the Sargasso Sea thousands of kilometers away? With the huge distances and different ocean currents, the version of the smell of home does not help. The proposed solutions that it is due to the food supply, the water temperature or the magnetic field also arent a satisfactory explanation. Countless other species of life would be just as affected, but they dont think to adapt their behavior to that of the eels….„

Erich von Däniken proposes, it could be to conclude that this whole reproduction or living cycle of the Eels didnt evolve in time over an evolutionary process but rather was written in their DNS since the first Eel.
