Not the first example of Transhumanism or perhaps more accurately here crypto-eugenics in the series but definitely the most memorable.

Ancient Astronauts and Doctor Who

Some extracts from the 1971 Doctor Who story The Daemons. According to the back story (which the Doctor explains above) mankind owes much of their knowledge and technology to the intervention of an alien species known as “the Daemons” who have been visiting the Earth on and off for the last 100, 000 years. Clearly the writer Barry Letts (aka Guy Leopold) was influenced a little by Erich von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods.

Interestingly the “Ancient Astronaut Theory” also pops up in several other Doctor Who stories from the 1970s, most notably in 1974’s Death to the Daleks (complete with the standard Grey aliens) and 1975’s The Pyramids of Mars. In Death we’re told that an advanced race called the Exxilons taught mankind how to build and were responsible for a mysterious temple in Peru. And later in Pyramids we learn that yet another race of ETs (this time the god-like Osirans) visited the Earth seven thousand years ago and become the gods of Ancient Egypt. Oh … they built the pyramids on Mars as a prison for a renegade member of their race too.
