  1. Recent studies 

    "The common lineage of great apes and humans split several hundred thousand years earlier than hitherto assumed, according to an international research team headed by Professor Madelaine Böhme from the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tübingen and Professor Nikolai Spassov from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The researchers investigated two fossils of Graecopithecus freybergi with state-of-the-art methods and came to the conclusion that they belong to pre-humans. Their findings, published today in two papers in the journal PLOS ONE, further indicate that the split of the human lineage occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean and not - as customarily assumed - in Africa.

    Is the Out of Africa Theory Out?
     

    An examination of over 5,000 teeth from early human ancestors shows that many of the first Europeans probably came from Asia

    "Scientists found that teeth from African specimens were a different shape or morphology than those from Eurasian samples. The researchers wrote that teeth toward the front of the mouth from Eurasians had more "morphological robusticity," such as a triangular, shovel shape. Their back teeth were smaller and had smoother chewing surfaces; the rear teeth from African samples were larger and the chewing surfaces on them more pointy and jagged.
     

    "The continuity of the 'Eurasian dental pattern' from the early Pleistocene until the appearance of upper Pleistocene Neandertals suggests that the evolutionary courses of the Eurasian and the African continents were relatively independent for a long period and that the impact of Asia in the colonization of Europe was stronger than that of Africa," https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-out-of-africa-theory-out/

    Humans share 50% DNA similarity with bananas and 80% with cows. Consuming cows is near cannibalism? Small percentages makes big differences.

    So it has been established that Neanderthal, Denisovan and Homo Sapian are different species, there is also Cro Magnon

    Cro-Magnon (Listeni/krˈmænjən/ or US: /krˈmæɡnən/; French: [kʁomaɲɔ̃]) is a common name that has been used to describe the first early modern humans (early Homo sapiens sapiens) that lived in the European Upper Paleolithic.[1] Current scientific literature prefers the term European early modern humans (EEMH), to the term Cro-Magnon, which has no formal taxonomic status, as it refers neither to a species or subspecies nor to an archaeological phase or culture.[2] The earliest known remains of Cro-Magnon-like humans are radiocarbon dated to 43–45,000 years before present that have been discovered in Italy[3] and Britain,[4] with the remains found of those that reached the European Russian Arctic 40,000 years ago.[5][6]
     

    Cro-Magnons were robustly built and powerful. The body was generally heavy and solid with a strong musculature. The forehead was fairly straight rather than sloping like in Neanderthals, and with only slight browridges. The face was short and wide. The chin was prominent. The brain capacity was about 1,600 cc (98 cu in), larger than the average for modern humans.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon

     

     


    A number of different species. Chimpanzees, bonobos, two species of gorilla and two species of orangutan.

    2 gorilla species here

    "In biology, races are genetically distinct populations within the same species; they typically have relatively minor morphological and genetic differences."

  2. maybe there doesn't need to be a deselection option, I don't use, choose thank yous wisely hm ha

    so we just see a highlighted thank you *shrugs*

    again a minor thing

  3. A minor type thing with the Thank you button, makes me feel good. Though when pressed only "No thank you" appears, so sometimes I hve a screen of "No thank you", I wonder if a more positive deselection option haha. Being a nuisance hm? :P

    Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.  https://heatst.com/culture-wars/chinese-right-wingers-mock-naive-left-wing-peers-with-white-left-insult/

  6. Oxygen (65%) and hydrogen (10%) are predominantly found in water, which makes up about 60 percent of the body by weight. It's practically impossible to imagine life without water.

    Carbon (18%) is synonymous with life. Its central role is due to the fact that it has four bonding sites that allow for the building of long, complex chains of molecules. Moreover, carbon bonds can be formed and broken with a modest amount of energy, allowing for the dynamic organic chemistry that goes on in our cells.

    Nitrogen (3%) is found in many organic molecules, including the amino acids that make up proteins, and the nucleic acids that make up DNA.

    Calcium (1.5%) is the most common mineral in the human body — nearly all of it found in bones and teeth. Ironically, calcium's most important role is in bodily functions, such as muscle contraction and protein regulation. In fact, the body will actually pull calcium from bones (causing problems like osteoporosis) if there's not enough of the element in a person's diet.

    Phosphorus (1%) is found predominantly in bone but also in the molecule ATP, which provides energy in cells for driving chemical reactions.

    Potassium (0.25%) is an important electrolyte (meaning it carries a charge in solution). It helps regulate the heartbeat and is vital for electrical signaling in nerves.

    Sulfur (0.25%) is found in two amino acids that are important for giving proteins their shape.

    Sodium (0.15%) is another electrolyte that is vital for electrical signaling in nerves. It also regulates the amount of water in the body.

    Chlorine (0.15%) is usually found in the body as a negative ion, called chloride. This electrolyte is important for maintaining a normal balance of fluids.

    Magnesium (0.05%) plays an important role in the structure of the skeleton and muscles. It also is necessary in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions.

    Iron (0.006%) is a key element in the metabolism of almost all living organisms. It is also found in hemoglobin, which is the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. Half of women don't get enough iron in their diet.

    Fluorine (0.0037%) is found in teeth and bones. Outside of preventing tooth decay, it does not appear to have any importance to bodily health.

    Zinc (0.0032%) is an essential trace element for all forms of life. Several proteins contain structures called "zinc fingers" help to regulate genes. Zinc deficiency has been known to lead to dwarfism in developing countries.

    Copper (0.0001%) is important as an electron donor in various biological reactions. Without enough copper, iron won't work properly in the body.

    Iodine (0.000016%) is required for making of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolic rate and other cellular functions. Iodine deficiency, which can lead to goiter and brain damage, is an important health problem throughout much of the world.

    Selenium (0.000019%) is essential for certain enzymes, including several anti-oxidants. Unlike animals, plants do not appear to require selenium for survival, but they do absorb it, so there are several cases of selenium poisoning from eating plants grown in selenium-rich soils.

    Chromium (0.0000024%) helps regulate sugar levels by interacting with insulin, but the exact mechanism is still not completely understood.

    Manganese (0.000017%) is essential for certain enzymes, in particular those that protect mitochondria — the place where usable energy is generated inside cells — from dangerous oxidants.

    Molybdenum (0.000013%) is essential to virtually all life forms. In humans, it is important for transforming sulfur into a usable form. In nitrogen-fixing bacteria, it is important for transforming nitrogen into a usable form.

    Cobalt (0.0000021%) is contained in vitamin B12, which is important in protein formation and DNA regulation.

  7. "Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements." Apr 16, 2009
     
     
    ^ I find interesting how simple it really is, the building blocks of life on Earth, different combination of a few things? Makes me think of the ancients view where everything is from the 5 elements; aether, air, fire, water, earth?
     
    "Wu Xing (Chinese: 五行; pinyin: Wǔ Xíng), also known as the Five Elements, Five Phases, the Five Agents, the Five Movements, Five Processes, the Five Steps/Stages and the Five Planets[1] is the short form of "Wǔ zhǒng liúxíng zhī qì" (五種流行之氣) or "the five types of chi dominating at different times".[2] It is a fivefold conceptual scheme that many traditional Chinese fields used to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs, and from the succession of political regimes to the properties of medicinal drugs. The "Five Phases" are Wood (木 mù), Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal (金 jīn), and Water (水 shuǐ). This order of presentation is known as the "mutual generation" (相生 xiāngshēng) sequence. In the order of "mutual overcoming" (相剋/相克 xiāngkè), they are Wood, Earth, Water, Fire, and Metal."
     
    "The system of five phases was used for describing interactions and relationships between phenomena. After it came to maturity in the second or first century BCE during the Han dynasty, this device was employed in many fields of early Chinese thought, including seemingly disparate fields such as geomancy or Feng shui, astrology, traditional Chinese medicine, music, military strategy, and martial arts. The system is still used as a reference in some forms of complementary and alternative medicine and martial arts."
     
    Another theory we are air machines, prana/spiritus/breath. Most food being an obstruction to this. I am thinking we consume food to extract light (sugar created by plants is carbon, crystallize sunlight, when you look at a tree it is made from sugar/carbon/condensed light). So it's a step away to gain light information and nourishment from plants, when there is greater clarity in the body I think we can access this information-light directly from the Sun or higher. This man has been fruit based "mucus-less diet" for around 2 years now I recall. Throws a lot of ideas about nutrition out the window.

  9. Trump bombs Syria, now the liberal media love him hm? haha, Hillary Clinton agenda marches on. Difference being HC (and her voters) were(/are) for this insanity from the start, Trump appears to have done a 180 (a number voting for him simply to avoid a conflict with Russia). How funny the "white supremacist","nazi"/"fascist" are anti-war, go figure. The British Union of Fascists were anti-war and imprisoned for it, charged with treason hahah. Fascist are like Hobbits, they just want to be left alone, a simple, natural life. Then you have evil Sauron pretending to be the Lord of Gifts "democracy, freedom, love, equality", from Jesus to Marx, Capitalism, Communism, Christianity, Islam etc same, same.  None of these things are European in origin. Tirelessly seeking world domination. Added to that now is the continual push toward AI and cybernetics haha, further de-humanisation, further abuses of natural law. WW3 a part of advancing that? Like WW2 giving the creation of the UN, EU, so the centralization of power, WW3 they will say we need a global one world government so this never happens again hahah, though those same people are the ones behind it all. Hold onto your hats folks :)

    Yuan you "Far-off journey"
     
    I honoured the wondrous powers of the Pure Ones,
    And those of past ages who had become Immortals.
    They departed in the flux of change and vanished from men's sight,
    Leaving a famous name that endures after them. (tr. Hawkes 1985:194)
     
    Shou zhi "Maintaining Resolution" (in the Nine Longings section) also uses it, translated here as "Immortals".
     
    I visited Fu Yue, bestriding a dragon,
    Joined up in marriage with the Weaving Maiden,
    Lifted up Heaven's Net to capture evil,
    Drew the Bow of Heaven to shoot at wickedness,
    Followed the Immortals fluttering through the sky. (tr. Hawkes 1985:318)

  11. No cigarettes , alcohol etc...

     

    Good luck with that, dismantle two (plus etc.) profitable industries, highly taxed mind you, requiring greater monitoring and enforcement.

    Prohibition was so effective, not to mention the current war on drugs.

     

    "lifestyle choices people should be responsible for."

     

    If people don't want to follow my plan that is their business, other people won't have to pay for it though.
