Re: Genetics

I have encountered something that interests me about Neanderthals: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … ORM=VRDGAR

Neanderthals may have hibernated for months during harsh winters, scientists say
Scientists compared the bones found at the site with those of other animals that hibernate and found the same lesions and signs of damage in both

If the genes to accomplish something like hibernation could be discovered from the genes of Neanderthals or Denisovans, it may be of use to future humans, I feel.

I suppose that first you might want to find out what genes allow some animals to hibernate or go into a torpor, and see, if anything similar existed in any ancient humans. (Neanderthals or Denisovans).

I think that it has been a situation of overcoming mistakes from arrogance, that has cast a darker view on ancient human types.  Physical Fitness glorified in our culture is rather narcissistic as far as I am concerned and misplaced anyway.  So, I do not regard the so-called archaic body types as being inferior. 

It really is not right to call modern humans in Europe "Homo-Sapiens", in the same sense as "Homo-Sapiens" would have been prior to mixing with the so called "Archaic" types.

In order for modern societies to pander to elites of various kinds, idiotic tests are applied.  The modern school system, at least in America supports idiot thinking, as this is to make common people useful idiots.

In a similar way, nature not particularly valuing intelligence, may not have applied the better tests to the human race but may have provided for less than what might have been possible.

The sad truth is that if there were two types of humans who would respond to stress in different ways:
1) Hibernate, or Torpor, or Estivate.
2) Cannibalism.

The Homo Sapiens could have caught the Neanderthals or Denisovans off guard and eaten them.

This test would be idiotic for the sake of the human race, but certainly it would be the survival of the fittest.

It is too easy for the fittest to be the most idiotic.

I think that is the sad truth of domination as the method of testing.  It is essentially Satanic in nature.

But it is possible that things might be regained which have been lost.

I think that the Cave Bears also probably became lunch due to human appetite.
