I used to drink a lot, not a daily drunk but I was a party boy and loved my Jager, I didn't think I liked smoking due to a couple bad experiences when first trying it when I was younger.... well once i rediscovered it and realized what I'd been missing iv become a daily smoker but rarely drink and it's the social glass of wine or a casual whiskey n coke when I do... I no longer enjoy the feeling of being drunk. I discovered my introverted side I'd always denied once i started smoking, i am an extrovert but now enjoy some introverted time too.

One night I was pondering booze vs herb and why they call it high. Under the influence I came up with this picture in my head. If we were the earth and it's atmosphere and our sober selves were the surface of the earth. booze took me deeper into the core... where the world grew smaller and was all about me, me and me... herb makes me high by lifting me above the surface where I can see more, take more in and enjoy so many more things than my Id said was all that mattered when I was drunk or even sober. So I'm high because herb takes me above myself and expands my horizons...

why is a cure such a terrible thing? and the more I ponder that question, im not sure that I want to understand the reasoning behind any thing that facilitates, is relative to, or the answer... and I enjoy learning, but I just don't see productivity coming out of such an endeavor... and hearing that thought bounce around in my head feel weird, that I of all people can rationalize not learning something... I might need a professional?

Abstract: The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama–Nyungan languages) and 25 Papuans from the New Guinea Highlands. We find that Papuan and Aboriginal Australian ancestors diversified 25–40 thousand years ago (kya), suggesting pre-Holocene population structure in the ancient continent of Sahul (Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania). However, all of the studied Aboriginal Australians descend from a single founding population that differentiated ~10–32 kya. We infer a population expansion in northeast Australia during the Holocene epoch (past 10,000 years) associated with limited gene flow from this region to the rest of Australia, consistent with the spread of the Pama–Nyungan languages. We estimate that Aboriginal Australians and Papuans diverged from Eurasians 51–72 kya, following a single out-of-Africa dispersal, and subsequently admixed with archaic populations.

"We find a genetic signature in present-day Papuans that suggests that at least 2% of their genome originates from an early and largely extinct expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) out of Africa. Together with evidence from the western Asian fossil record (11), and admixture between AMHs and Neanderthals predating the main Eurasian expansion (12), our results contribute to the mounting evidence for the presence of AMHs out of Africa earlier than 75,000 years ago.

in response to Genghis_Kush

I have read some interesting articles on ancient origins. net that are sometimes light on the academia, but interesting and sometimes pointing to deeper truths, a duo of Australian archeologists strongly arguing for Aboriginal as origin, interesting

another interesting piece I thought was regarding albinoism in Hopi and Panamanian tribe and its origins

best regards

I think all the science is pointing towards an north east African origin or maybe the Persian gulf. There are some people who are clinging to other theories, but it seems each new study only confirms more and more that Africa/arabia was the origin. I think now it is the quest to better understand how we hybridized with other hominids that had already left Africa to create what we now call Anatomically Modern Humans. 50,000 years ago something happened that caused one population of humans to relatively explode in population and kill off or out breed all the other hominids on the planet. It's not known if it was a genetic change or cultural or both.

I don't really know anything about Albinoism, other than that it is usually considered a sign of inbreeding within a specific population.

One love!

I have a hard time wrapping my head around ANYTHING that denotes humans as the masters of the universe. When i take more in depth probes into our space program, both where weve been and where we are going, I am awestruck and overwhelmed by the potential that another form of life has made it to earth and contacted humans in one form or another, then again i am native american, believe in the great spirit carrying me through my journey in life and ive realized sometimes the best path can be the tortured one. I marvel at the possibilities but i also become really depressed when commen sense says no way in hell an intelligent life would wanna coexist with humans after how destructive we are.

It seems humans have been living in their infant and adolescent years, but approaching a necessary maturation that is being required by the universe.

as the song says, " full of hope, full of grace, is the human face. . ."

If we continue without some leap or adjusting to live in harmony with the natural rythymn of life, yeah future seems bleak. . .

Sometimes we have to go back in order to go forward, and it seems that is the case for us at this point in humanitys development.

It is cycle not linear, and like a musician go back to root note to continue the scale, is same for us, is required we return to our roots, in order to mature
