Since mankind shifted from a barter economy to dealing with currencies, societies turned steadily and consistently away from production to a specie of mendicants.
In the barter trade, every individual in the tribe, clan, women, men, and children had a special task to support the survival of the tribe.
Once a member is entirely incapacitated to be a productive entity in the order of the small community, or unable to get moving at a regular pace with the tribe to better seasonal greener pastures then, the member was relocated to a shady place near a source of water to tend to his peaceful death a “paradise for the old spirits“.
Most probably, a core of compassionate individuals delegated their services to aiding these old spirits as best they could. They extracted from these elders oral stories of myths and traditional laws of conduct.
Transmitters of oral teaching and education are called “marabout” or “grios” in Africa: They have been transmitting the oral spiritual traditions of communities around bonfires.
A few of them decided to institute religions, based on the captured myths told about the creation of the universe and what happen to the souls after death; until the written languages codified the sacred religious knowledge within the sacerdotal classes.
Currently, old people are still Not that scared of death: Just fearing a state of lack of liquid currency, lest they are forced to beg to staying alive.
They are Not afraid of dying of hunger: Just apprehensive that no aides will come, unless they have to beg.
After years of toils and unconditional disposition to raise a family, sending them to universities, marrying their offspring, and distributing properties to their married children, old parents are dragging their arthritic feet as best they can and feeling ashamed to ask for small money.
I am witnessing a grandmother, wrecked with arthritis, barely able to shift its body during sleep, and having to do dishes, sweep, do laundry, preparing jams for the winter season, and even cook for her married daughter with six children, many of these children are way over 25 years of age.
I am witnessing a grandfather, having difficulty getting in a car and thus, deciding to stay home, dragging his feet three flats up in order to replenish water in the water tanks on the roof: He had plenty of reasons not to trust automatic systems and the damage they did when they failed.
Old people are worried that their children will not make it in this new harsh world: They were not adequately trained to fending for their survival.
Old people without any social covering are waiting to die in pain and hopelessness.
Old people of the middle and upper classes, with health coverage, are willing to undergo heart surgery at the age of 80, only to survive three lousy months in pain and suffering.
I am pretty sure they were warned by surgeons of the humiliating conditions they will suffer, but sacrifice is forgotten at a senile age.
We beg for food and pocket-money, though we are entitled to vote, to drive expensive cars, to join armies, and to kill for “motherland”.
We beg for better grades; we beg for jobs; we beg for a raise; we lick asses to keep our jobs; we forget morality and ethical conducts and obey the boss; we claim that we are skilled survivors.
There was a time, still as valid now as ever, when materially fallen noblemen, had priority over the most disinherited people for the money collected in churches.
Poor Noblemen had to be secured first, lest the social structure disintegrates and chaos reign supreme.
Multinational financial institutions have to get first help: They worked so hard to bilk people out of their earned money.
Multinational do Not beg: They demand their rights as knights and barons of the establishment.
The verb to “beg” was created for the poor people and it does not apply to the rich barons of industries who demand their rights to financial aids: They invented the social and economic structure for the begging citizens.
We are effective beggars: we keep the mask of revolting against mendicant behaviors.
Wild animals and pets search for a shady and isolated place to die when the time approach: They refuse further unnecessary suffering and pain.
They leave the company of the tribe: They cannot expect the community to feed them; this is contrary to the nature of the specie. Mankind is willing to beg mercilessly and assiduously to the last moment.
Millions of kids faking work, selling chewing gum on streets for a loaf of bread.
Millions playing the meditative game, so that their collective spirits in prayers will bring about world peace, in exchange of one daily meal.
Billion of people are producing nothing.
They are the ones who cannot teach art but expose the results of art.
They cannot teach how to make shoes, but display instead varieties of shoes for you to select from.
The shopkeepers, working a lifetime in a box, collaborating with wholesalers, quickly turning over products in warehouses.
Engineers, supposedly trained to design products and services and ending up working salesperson.
Engineers are hired to selling products and services, thinking that they can extend the illusion to consumers that they know something about the product or engineering practices.
It never crosses the mind of this engineer to make the effort of “re-designing” the product/system he is selling.
Sales people selling whatever there is to sell, uttering big technical terminologies: they have no ideas what these words mean.
Lawyers, shuffling papers and documents, bilking people, communicating with the lawyer of the other party, hammering out settlements, because they were Not trained or lack the talent to defend clients in courts.
Teams upon teams of “hygiene engineers” cleaning offices, gathering trash, vacuuming, and then collecting garbage.
The lower middle class, learning technical skills, working around conveyor belts, assembling consumer products and canned food.
Now and then, facilitating modern lifestyle by updating plumbing and electrical systems: running water, ready electrical power, and automatic appliances that were meant to liberating essential time for a real productive life, but falling short on target.
Who are the producers?
They are the peasants in remote areas, no one paying them a visit, except wholesalers at harvest time.
Millions working in sweat shop factories: the modern sacrificial lambs targeted to die at young age for disastrous workplace conditions.
Millions working in underground tunnels, extracting raw materials, trapped in worse conditions than taupe.
Millions working in open grounds, extracting raw materials, dying young, in polluted environment, for their daily meals.
If those are the people producing something then, how come so many trillions of dollar-kind money have been accumulated?
Trillions being talk about like we are meaning billions of dollars.
The world is currently posting $60 trillion GNP per year; $15 trillion are saved by the “poorer” developing States so that multinational financial institutions move the surplus to the “powerful” States to maintain their higher standards of living.
The financial institutions cut out their commissions for facilitating the transfer of money from the poor people to the “richer” people maintaining high State indebtedness.
Last century, people were producing.
In this century, worthless paper money are being printed, shifted, transacted, and transferred around as valuable earning: Fictitious wealth backed by the power of aircraft carriers and lethal killing equipment.
Millions of “men of war” in 200 official armies, begging for their daily meals in exchange for killing their own kinds, fighting for the “fatherland”.
Millions of men of war enlisted in militia organizations fighting for the honor of the tribe, the trampled dignity of a local leader, a religious cleric.
There was a long period in mankind history, tribes going on razzias expeditions against richer tribes and rounding up livestock. Tribes expected razzias: They were meant for survival purposes under harsh conditions.
In the last three centuries, razzias on grand scale, are directed for pure greed.
Mankind: a specie of mendicants, with no dignity and no shame.
A specie that convinced itself that life is precious, even if they are totally worthless to producing anything spiritual.
Compassion is meant to help the abler body.
A specie toiling a lifetime not producing a dime’s worth; unable to write an article, even an illegible one.
A specie no longer worth surviving.
No, Nothing is ever confirmed on mankind evolution: Just wait a couple years for a paradigm shift on that matter
Posted by: adonis49 on: February 13, 2021
It is confirmed, until further notice: “Mankind is one of the Chimps tribes, and all immigrated from Africa 60,000 years ago…”
Posted on July 27, 2012
Note: In 2021, I watched a documentary for the discovery of several human bipeded in Asia, several thousands years before the One/Ones found in Africa. The question is: How to reconcile this variety of “human species” to converge into identical DNA, with slight differences in adaptation to environments and certain diseases.
I watched a documentary on the cable ARTE. All biologists, archeologist, gene scientists…pronounced the following “evidences”:
1. Current mankind, the Cro-magnon, is one of the chimpanzee tribes. We are not descended from chimp: We are chimps.
2. All mankind immigrated from Africa and reached all continents, travelling along sea and ocean shores…
3. This immigration aptitude and flexibility to varied climates and environmental conditions allowed mankind to reach America through the icy Bering Sea in Alaska (40,000 years ago) and needed 20,000 years more to land on the southern tip of Latin America. Consequently, the original inhabitant of Latin America are the freshest new comers, inhabiting this continent just in the last 20,000 years…
4. As the dark-skinned Cro-magnon landed in Europe, they discovered another mankind, the red-headed and lighter skinned Neandertal specie who was intelligent, had fabricated tools, and was more robust and bearded, with a lot of hair on the body…
5. The two species co-habited Europe for 10,000 years before the Neandertal disappeared for reasons still unknown…
6. About 12,000 years, mankind was mostly hunter/gatherer and only 200,000 of them roamed the earth…
7. A thousand-year after undertaking the cultivation of the land (as early as 12,000 years ago) mankind population increased one thousand fold…
8. When the Spanish Conquistador invaded Latin America, they believed that these hairless, elongated and tanned people must have a soul, but to a “lower level than their soul“…
9. The black specie in Africa were considered as the intermediary between chimps and mankind…Thus, Blacks had barely a soul and were used as slaves in any way conceivable…
10. Between the 5th and 15th century, the city of Angora (Cambodia) was vaster than New York City and had one million inhabitant. At the time, London was barely 50,000 strong… Many ancient cities were far larger than 100,000.
I have serious trouble with this consensus story:
1. How a population far less than 200,000 could inhabit every corner of earth 20,000 years ago?
2. I can admit that mankind is a branch of chimps tribes, but why it should be generated in a single continent? If the climatic and environmental conditions enabled the emergence of mankind, why it should be impossible that the same conditions generate mankind in every other continent?
3. If the DNA of chimps match mankind’s at 99%, and this DNA is much closer to mankind than to gorillas, why mankind was originated solely in Africa? If this chimps tribe lived in equatorial or tropical dense forests by rivers and lakes, I think every continent enjoys the same conditions…
4. If mankind was barely able to start cultivation 12,000 years ago, how was he able to navigate seas and oceans and reach Australia, and cross straits (Bering, Gibraltar…) 40,000 years ago?
5. Isn’t this philosophical concept of the One, One God, One single Big Bang for the creation of the Universe, One specie roaming the earth…that is blinding scientists from pondering on the alternative of the many origines?
6. Just the existence of the Neandertal specie in Europe before the Cro-magnon stepped on this continent should have flagged the scientists to explain this phenomenon…But they didn’t even ask the question!
7. Mankind is this Chimps tribe that learned to fish and swim and walk in the water…
the Buoyancy of water in rivers and lakes lightened the weight and permitted mankind to walk longer distances while fishing, and strengthen the muscles of his back and abdomen…
Gradually, mankind was capable of walking on his two hind legs for greater distances inland…
You may read how mankind managed to walk inland for long distance https://adonis49.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/two-species-of-mankind-sorted-out-not-long-ago/
The Sixth Great Extinction: Massive wiping out of species?
Note: Re-edit of “Sixth Great Extinction? And the human? Could he survive?”
Species are disappearing at an alarming rate, a new study finds. Author Elizabeth Kolbert says that raises questions about our survival.
Apparently, in the last half a billion years, earth witnessed 5 extinctions of its species due to natural calamities.
This current extinction process is mainly due to the human species.
There are very few extinctions that we know about in the last 100 years that would have taken place without human activity.
I have never heard anyone argue, “oh extinction rates, that’s just a natural thing that would have happened with or without humans.” It’s just pretty much impossible to argue that.
The current extinction rate could be more than 100 times higher than normal—and that’s only taking into account the kinds of animals we know the most about.
Earth’s oceans and forests host an untold number of species, many of which will probably disappear before we even get to know them
The new study that’s generated so much conversation estimates that as many as three-quarters of animal species could be extinct within several human lifetimes, which sounds incredibly alarming
What is clear, and what is beyond dispute, is that we are living in a time of very elevated extinction rates, on the order that you would see in a mass extinction, though a mass extinction might take many thousands of years to play out.
Island species are very vulnerable to extinctions for a couple of reasons.
1. They tend to have been isolated.Humans have been removing the barriers that used to keep island species isolated. New Zealand had no terrestrial mammals. Species that had evolved in the absence of such predators were incredibly vulnerable. A staggering number of bird species have already been lost on New Zealand, and a lot of those that remain are in deep trouble.
2. We brought in invasive species. So, places that have been isolated for a long time are very vulnerable. Species that have a very restricted range, that exist only in one spot in the world, those tend to be extremely vulnerable. They have nowhere to go and if their habitat is destroyed, say, then they’re gone.
We are now changing the climate, very rapidly, by geological standards.
We are changing the chemistry of all the oceans.
We are changing the surface of the planet.
We cut down forests and burn entire forests
we plant monoculture agriculture, which is not good for a lot of species.
We’re overfishing. The list goes on and on.
We dump nitrogen on fields in the Midwest and the fertilizer runs down the Mississippi and into the Gulf of Mexico, and that causes these dead zones.
The sort of fundamental question is: Can 9 billion people be able to live on this polluted planet with all of the species that are now still around?
Or are we on a collision course, in part because we consume a lot of resources that other creatures also would like to consume? That’s a question I can’t answer.
If you give vertebrate species (and we are another vertebrate species) an average lifetime of a million years, and you say humans are 200,000 years into their million years, and you precipitate a mass extinction—even laying aside the question of whether humans will be the victim of their own mass extinction—you can’t expect that same species to be around by the time the planet has recovered.
There are two questions that arise:
One, just because we’ve survived the loss of X number of species, can we keep going down the same trajectory, or do we eventually imperil the systems that keep people alive?
That’s a very big and incredibly serious question.
Second, even if we can survive, is that the world you want to live in? Is that the world you want all future generations of humans to live in?
That’s a different question. But they’re both extremely serious. I would say they really couldn’t be more serious.
Not only the quality of potable water is highly polluted, but even water used for agriculture is generating degraded food. Heck, water is being appropriated by multinational companies from States and costing all citizens the price of drinking.
The quality of air is deteriorating quickly due to traffic transportation and oil burning to generate energy.
It is striking that the advent of this Covid-19 pandemics that spread lockdown of major traffic and industries has cleaned the skies and improved water quality.
The more humans desist from meddling with nature, the better our quality of life will improve.
The main difficulty is how to change this mentality of constant “economic growth” that forces the depletion of earth resources at a gigantic rate?
Nadia Drake, published a conversation with Elizabeth Kolbert in National Geographic , June 23, 2015. news.nationalgeographic.com
Note: I believe that, unless the atmosphere is Not highly toxic, beside the insects and rodents, two species could survive:
1. The owl who can hear a pregnant mice one meter under the snow and 300 meters away and has incredible eyesight at night (100 times that of human) and can sneak on victims listlessly .
2. The hyena who can crush and eat bones and is an excellent hunter individually and as a team.
Our recklessness in wiping ourselves and every living organism
Posted by: adonis49 on: October 29, 2019
This precarious existence of human species
A few conditions for the emergence of our species.
Observers have identified two dozen fortunate breaks we have had on Earth to create just the living organism.
Not to mention the hundreds of conditions for the formation of human species that is Not within this scope.
If the Sun was larger, it would have exhausted its fuel before Earth could be formed because the larger the star the more rapidly it burns.
If we were two light minutes closer to the Sun we would be like planet Venus that cannot sustain life; Venus surface temperature is 470 degrees Celsius and all its water has evaporated driving hydrogen away into space.
If we were 1% further from the Sun we would be like frozen Mars.
If our core didn’t contain molten liquid we would Not have magnetism to protect us from cosmic rays.
If our tectonic plates didn’t collide to produce more gases and continually renew and rumple the surface with mountains then we would be under 4,000 meters of water.
If our moon was not large enough, one fourth the size of Earth, then Earth would be wobbling like a dying top with unstable climate and weather.
It is to be noted that the Moon is slipping away at a rate of 4 centimeters a year, relinquishing its gravitational hold.
If comets didn’t strike Earth to produce the Moon or asteroid to wipe out the Dinosaurs, or
If we didn’t enjoy enough stability for a long time, human would not be what they are.
ringtonesdump.com commented:
Wilson’s remarkable book reminds us that every living thing is the result of millions of years of evolution. We have all arrived here together: the perfect possum, the perfect bear, the perfect fox, the ‘almost’ perfect human.
Now however, we are living in a precarious moment wherein our species, Homo Sapiens, supposedly the ‘smart’ species, is recklessly and mindlessly on course to destroy the rest of life on earth, not by means of a nuclear war but by eating, killing, poisoning, and crowding out all wildlife everywhere, including in the oceans.
Why human species exhibit this consistent strain (and stain) of morbidity?

Why human species exhibit this consistent strain (and stain) of morbidity?
As usual, I cut through the chase before attempting any explanation or developing on a theme.
I conjecture that the final development of our species, after hundreds of extinctions and near extinction periods, was left with a set of parasites that prefer the human body for their incubation periods.
These parasites disturb the communication links between the over developed Cortex and the two other primitive brains (reptilian and lower mammalian).
The parasites attack the nervous system and stop the growth of the emotional intelligence and save the rational brain.
The end result of these affectation render the human species more prone to kill, maim, physically harm his own species.
Earth Endangered: By new strain Fact-Resistant Human species:

Endangered Human species by strained Fact-Resistant behaviors
It’s possible that Human species will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,
More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”
While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said. (Though human species is far more reliant on vision, 80% of information)
While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.
MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.
The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.
“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”

Re-Creating a “cohort” of Neanderthal species: It is feasible. But Why?
Posted by: adonis49 on: January 28, 2015
Re-Creating a “cohort” of Neanderthal species: It is feasible, but Why?
Our current human species is uniform. The monoculture is source of extinction when facing worldwide epidemics and a serious degradation in climatic changes.
Consequently, re-introducing a former species that was wiped out 30,000 years ago might regulate the survival of mankind.
It appears that the Neanderthal species had a larger brain (but we are not sure if the network of his synapsis was complex enough to match this current species), and he was of the bigger kind who needed to consume 5,000 calories per day.
A skeletal, up to one million years old, can be useful for the re-introduction of a lost species.
Scientist George Church (56 of age) would recuperate the DNA to submit it to the sequencing of its genome.
The genome is later cut into 10,000 fragment to be synthesized.
These synthetic fragments are introduced in a cell stump. By repeating the operation as often as necessary, the descendants are generated from the stump cells.
These cells will be inserted in the uterus to develop.
Et voila! Neanderthal species coming back to live among us and protect mankind from a potential extinction.

Re-Creating a “cohort” of Neanderthal species: It is feasible, but Why?
Our current human species is uniform. The mono-culture is source of extinction when facing worldwide epidemics and a serious degradation in climatic changes.

Church is a pioneer in synthetic biology, a discipline trying to unite complex systems which function Not necessarily according with existing ones in Nature.
In the 1980’s, this professor in Harvard was at the origin of the Human Genome Project, the decryption of DNA of human body.
Church explains:
“All the information in the world (about 1.8 zettabit) can be stored in 4 grams of DNA. The DNA storage can resist desert climate for 400,000 years.
The scientists of Boston are using an decryption archive system that needs no cells to work, and a coding system that enables the location of the DNA extract in the files.
Thus, strong with the availability of DNA sequencer and a computer, the files could be read.
A mother chimpanzee could be substituted in the cloning process.
A long journey to learn the evolution of the Past.
