So, maybe new medicines.
Maybe GMO for Mars that can tolerate periodic drying and also radiation.
Maybe even someday humans with greater tolerance for radiation.

We Finally Know Where Humans and Neanderthals Interbred

I think I disagree that "Modern Humans came from Africa alone". It is truer that African Humans evolved with less Neanderthal to a more modern form, and that Eurasians evolved to a modern form by the mixing of somewhat archaic peoples both from Africa and from the Neanderthals.

We should not despise our Neanderthal roots.

I don't like the term "Archaic" for these people and their ancestors or for the Neanderthals or Devonians or others.

Modern Eurasian humans do not have archaic genes, and neither do the Africans. If the gene is in us, then it is modern.

There seem to be several interesting adaptations that may be useful in space. I have previously noted Low Oxygen tolerance in Tibet and the Andes. Also, there is an adaptation for diving in one people with an enlarged Spleen.

Some high latitude peoples may have adaptations to low light conditions and perhaps also for snow blindness. And the low light conditions may also be associated with brain differences for the visual to help see in low light conditions. The enlarged eyes were used by Neanderthals, Blue eyes may also function better in low light situations, but less well in bright light. Just on a guess, perhaps some eyelid shapes may help with snow blindness.

So, I am very happy to consider the possibility that in the far future humans in space may have feet that are partially adapted to climbing.

Space humans may end up having any or all of these adaptations.

At first, I think humans in artificial gravity will need 1 g force synthetic gravity. But I think that ultimately feet adapted for lower gravity could be helpful, once a way could be found to keep people healthy in lower gravity.

The 20th century seems to me to have been a time when certain peoples had a need to consider themselves as the "Best" form of human, I don't think that helped things much at all.

We will see if this article holds up to future analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khH8QUL5dFc

Scientists FINALLY Sequenced the DNA of this Elongated Skull and Rewrite Human History

My low value thoughts:

-Low locations on Earth such as the Black Sea (Which may not have been filled), and the Caspian Sea, may have provided better Oxygen during the ice age, due to thicker atmosphere. Perhaps the continental sea coasts also had elevated Oxygen due to low sea levels. In other words atmosphere displaced by the ice caps may have provided extra air for the sea coasts and other low spots. My guess, (And it is only a guess), is that brains tuned for maximum Oxygen, may not have competed well enough after the ice age ended, and by the way provided a flood. It seems these large skull people were willing to mingle with smaller skull people. Perhaps the big brains, died out, or just an exceptional possibility perhaps they exist somewhere still, maybe not on this planet. I am not saying that they are aliens, rather, likely some unknown type of human. But the odds of outer space are very low.

If some of the genetics do actually come from the Black Sea area, it does not mean that they were "White", or "Caucasian". Actually the phrases "Black" and "White" seem to have been recently invented so that we in America and other locations on the planet can be exploited by a false reality.

I have recently been considering the notion of nutrition and intelligence. For instance some of my supposed ancestors lived in the North of Britain/Ireland. The diet they had was something they likely tuned to with at least epigenetics and maybe gentics. I know people where I live used to have something called goiters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goitre
A goitre, or goiter, is a swelling in the neck resulting from an enlarged thyroid gland.[1][2] A goitre can be associated with a thyroid that is not functioning properly.

Worldwide, over 90% of goitre cases are caused by iodine deficiency.[3] The term is from the Latin gutturia, meaning throat. Most goitres are not cancerous (benign), though they may be potentially harmful.

So, the point is that now we have a non-seafood source of Iodine. I think that in my country the eugenics people seemed to be upset about cretins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenita … y_syndrome

I think similar mental deficiencies may have existed in some parts of the USA due to malnourishment, and perhaps parasites contributing to it.

But I think that the point is that it is possible that someone with a smaller brain might outcompete someone with a bigger brain who is malnourished. I have suggested that the "Long-Big-Skulls" may have had Oxygen deficiency. But of course I don't know.

Most intellectuals seem to reason that the reason why the human brain has been shrinking is a more efficient brain. I suppose that could be true, as long as you don't jump to the conclusion that a more efficient brain is a more capable brain.

My theory is that excessive verbal skills developed allow a short-cut mind(s) to replace more capable minds. They form a hive mind, and so each individual can get by with less intelligence.

I also speculate that Homo Erectus may have had excessive verbal skills which allow them to do a sort of hive/pack mind.

But of course all of this is my brand of monkey droppings

I am not sure I am 100% comfortable with the wording of the quote.

I do recall that the Vikings, contacted someone on the East Coast or East Canida, and apparently wore out their welcome.
The people who repulsed them had weapons such as spear throwers, which apparently were very effective. But the people who were met by the Pilgrims did not have those.

At that time Greenland was in a mild climate era and the climate of parts of Greenland was sort of like Norway, so the Vikings decided not to bother with the occupied regions of main North America.

So, in this article, it appears that people from Central Asia entered North America around 500 to 900 AD?
The author said that there were at least 3 settlements of North America before the "Europeans".

That is very surprising.

But I don't claim to be clever, but I like puzzles like this.

One thing that can be considered is with computers and robots, both thoughts and actions are no longer going to be confined to the patterns of humans alone.

This could be good not necessarily bad.

Human brains will not be only organic, but also Neuralink in nature.

So, the contest between small brained verbal hive minds, and persons with greater autonomous larger brains no longer will be the pattern of humans.

That could be good, because I think that that pattern may have been an archaic inheritance that we have not been able to escape.

The printing press has been said to be a tool of unlocking from a stagnation.

Now of course the internet is said to be the same, even more so, and perhaps affecting most of the human race.

So, we are living in a great unlocking, but of course it removes the guards that held people to a pattern. So, it is not so surprising that some people get lost in optional lifestyles that may be seeking to return to the stone age.

It is not clear of course what is to become actually.

So, genetics are not as major as they were, unless they are the genetics of being able to adapt and yet not be lost to foolish permissions.

The apparent genetic pool in the Amazon area suggests to me that it may be a relic of it. There has been some thinking that Polynesians may have landed in South America, but maybe it was this instead, or, I suppose both are possible.

North America was considered to be inhospitable to humans due to animals like the Short Faced Bear.

It may be that so called Homo Sapiens were able to outcompete Neanderthals and Denisovans, but that does not indicate superiority. It could indicate some valuable skill, but my notion is that Homo Galactic's, should be looking to include talents that may have been lost by the stupidity of violent competition.
