Dash For Power

Modern humans in Europe may have evolved or mixed between Neanderthals, who otherwise died out, with Homo Sapiens, who now make up humanity. The waves of Ice Ages forced both of these groups, as with animals, farther south. Around 40,000 years ago, cave excavations in southern France show only reindeer bones, compared to later returning larger ungulates who require more warmth and plant growth to survive.

It could have been during this time that Neanderthals, forced into the areas more controlled by the emerging Homo Sapiens, lost in one more wave before a stronger species. But, Eugene Morin, an anthropologiy professor at Trent University in Ontario, says “It seems that the Neanderthals were not completely erased”.There was a population decline during this period, all of Britain was under ice.

At these cave sites, both Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens bones have been found, and then in the ranges of cold, woolly mammoths, wolves. The generally accepted view of scientists studying this era and area is that both species existed at the same time, may have done some interbreeding, and that between 32,000 and 24,000 years ago, Neanderthals became extinct.

This is an on going study, and the general view that there may have been some inter breeding brings forward the thought of differing protective body defense mechanisms that might exist between any of these descendants and the rest of us. We know and are learning to discuss body defense strengths, and weaknesses even between us Homo Sapiens who happen to be black, yellow, brown or “white”. Whether by diet, lifestyle, circumstance or heredity, black men suffer more hypertension, white some kinds of cancers, other groups, other weaknesses.

It could well be that we learn or adapt from each strength, and by hook or pill we learn to swallow ways to become better by learning, and using that information. More on this soon, many bright minds must also be pondering this, now that again since 1979, when Neanderthal bones were first found mixed with Homo Sapiens in southern French caves. More on this soon.
