Experts say humans are past their peak and that modern-day people are 10 per cent smaller and shorter than their hunter-gatherer ancestors.
And if that’s not depressing enough, our brains are also smaller.

The findings reverse perceived wisdom that humans have grown taller and larger, a belief which has grown from data on more recent physical development.

The decline, said scientists, has happened over the past 10,000 years. They blame agriculture, with restricted diets and urbanisation compromising health and leading to the spread of disease.

The theory has emerged from studies of fossilised human remains found in Africa, Europe and Asia.

The earliest, from Ethiopia, date back 200,000 years, and were larger and ‘more robust’ than their modern-day counterparts, said Dr Marta Lahr, an expert in human evolution.

They're saying the typical hunter gatherer of 7,300 years ago could outrun today's top athletes. That's not too surprising, but it's a bit harder to believe that brain volume has shrunk 10%. Does that mean our ancestors of 7,300 years ago were more intelligent, however that is defined? Was surviving in the world of 7,300 years ago more difficult and did it require more intelligence? Are there any modern hunter gatherers who are larger and "more robust" than today's "industrialized" humans?

I suspect that it's like integrated circuits -- after 7,300 years of
evolution, brains are able to do more in less space.

Hunting and gathering probably provided better nutrition than early farming because the food sources came from a wider area.

Based on what I've read, the nutritional quality of food is falling due to topsoil loss, etc. The modern human athlete can probably source better foods than the ancient hunter gatherer if effort is made and funds are available.

What I'm looking at is whether modern humans can go directly back to a hunter gatherer lifestyle and survive a few decades doing that. I haven't seen any instances of it. The closest case I can find is the Lykovs who survived 42 years in the Siberian taiga after escaping Stalin's purges in 1936. They had no human contact for 42 years other than their 6 family members before being discovered in 1978. Also interesting is that Agafia, who was born in the wild and is now age 70, still has all of her teeth.

During the recent heat wave in Texas, the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the operator of the electric grid covering most of the state, set a new record for electricity use when demand for electricity reached 69.8 gigawatts (GW) between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on August 10.

Disagree, The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA
as well as to act as a cofactor in certain biological reactions.

The bottle neck effect was real. However, evidence from pollen analysis has suggested prolonged
deforestation in South Asia, and some researchers have suggested that the Toba eruption may have
forced humans to adopt new adaptive strategies.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. - John Adams

Matters little Vin. Americans are idiots.

In other words, there are no right answers. Just more pain and further pressure on the beleaguered economy and severely battered currency and further evidence that between China's entry into the global currency wars, depressed global commodity prices, the threat of an imminent Fed hike, and a generally lackluster environment for global demand and trade, the world's emerging markets face a perfect storm with no end in sight. t

China will try to negotiate that the Baht, Dong, Yen, Rupiah and Ringgit should be pegged to Yuan some convey.

Adjectives are just messengers being shot. 1861 Internecine Slaughter, not a civil war.....

“I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe.”
One month after the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln, the American Civil War got underway . . .
The real reason for the war is that . . .
Northern industrialists had used trade tariffs to prevent the Southern States from buying cheaper European goods. Europe subsequently retaliated by stopping cotton imports from the South. Thus the South were being forced to pay more for goods whilst having their income slashed.
This is when the money changers saw the opportunity to divide and conquer America by plunging it into Civil War. This is confirmed by Otto Von Bismarck when he was Chancellor of Germany (1871 - 1890), who stated,
"The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe, these bankers were afraid that the United States if they remained as one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence which would upset their financial domination over the world.

One might ask the question, "Aren't American socialists in favor of their own country's survival?"
To answer this question, we must turn to abnormal psychology.

The researchers think the reason they have these spikes in brain activity was because they had to use more mental energy to respond to their victoms (in order to take advantage of it). These findings agree with previous studies that self-interests are to be manipulated in others for personal gain. Future studies will be needed to understand how to control their emotions and what brain structures are involved in their cold and calculating behavior researchers do report. Simple answer do not elicit effective pattern recognition to clear-cut diagnostic distinctions between panic disorder and social anxiety disorders it was conveyed.

And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good,

In other words, there are no right answers for the secular mind, only three key features of choice architecture
and that should cover the current normalcy bias.
