Human evolution speeding up? More people born with extra artery in their arm, study shows
Quote
“We’ve collected all the data published in anatomical literature and continued to dissect cadavers donated for studies in Adelaide and we found about one third of Australians have the median artery in their forearm and everyone will have it by the end of the century if this process continues.”

Quote
Researchers say this isn’t the only sign evolution is continuing in humans. The study points to a growing number of people born without wisdom teeth and born with a fabella, a small bone in the back of the knee joint.

Quote
Statistical geneticist Dr. Danielle Posthuma of the Netherlands has been awarded the third Mensa Foundation Prize for her research directly identifying, for the first time, hundreds of human genes highly correlated to variations in intelligence.

“Genetic science and engineering is currently the hottest topic in biology — witness its impact on Covid-19,” Prize Committee Chair Dr. Harry Ringermacher said. “Dr. Posthuma’s studies of genetic correlation with intelligence are the first to succeed in identifying specific genes within the human genome. Her credentials, visibility in her field, and publications were also excellent.”

As head of the Department of Complex Trait Genetics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Amsterdam University Medical Centre, Dr. Posthuma leads a group of 30 researchers from diverse fields, including statistics, stem cell biology, and bioinformatics. She has led two large-scale genetic discovery studies into intelligence. The first, whose results were published in 2017, led to the discovery of 52 genes linked to intelligence. A year later, in an even larger study of more than 200,000 people, Dr. Posthuma was able to identify another 939 genes associated with intelligence.

So at least we now know 991 genes to eliminate. These will be the same 991 that Western eugenicists will be trying to breed for. (Jews probably carry many of them.)

“Intelligence is one of the most highly investigated traits in psychology and also one of the most heritable traits in humans,” Dr. Posthuma said.

In Western psychology, to be more precise. Because Western civilization knows this is what is needed to sustain itself. Of course, we will not let it succeed unopposed. While AI is by far the biggest threat:

the threat of increased human intelligence through genetic engineering is also not to be underestimated:

Quote
Dr. Posthuma estimates that the current genetic results explain up to about 10 percent of heritable traits related to intelligence, with future studies expected to expand the knowledge even further.

How the Great Depression shaped people’s DNA
Quote
Epigenetics study finds that children born during the historic recession have markers of accelerated ageing later in life.
Quote
The worst recession in US history shaped how well people would age — before they were even born. Researchers have found that the cells of people who were conceived during the Great Depression, which lasted from 1929 to 1939 and, at its height, saw about 25% of the US workforce unemployed, show signs of accelerated ageing.
The study authors measured these changes in the cells’ epigenome — the collection of chemical markers attached to DNA that determines when, where and by how much genes are expressed in each cell. And they think the pattern of markers that they uncovered could be linked to higher rates of both chronic illness and death.

The work, published on 8 November in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, adds to a cache of studies indicating that exposure to hardship such as stress and starvation during the earliest stages of development can shape human health for decades. The findings highlight how social programmes designed to help pregnant people could be a tool for fighting health disparities in children, says co-author Lauren Schmitz, an economist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Although the study is far from the first to link big historical events to changes in the epigenome, the fact that the signal appears in data collected from people in their seventies and eighties is “mind-blowing”, says Patrick Allard, an environmental epigeneticist at the University of California, Los Angeles.

How were Native Americans affected by the Great Depression?
Between 1887 and 1933, over half of the tribal land base was lost to land thieves, tax sales, and governmental sales of "surplus lands." These policies launched a cycle of poverty that continues at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Among the suggested causes of the Great Depression are: the stock market crash of 1929; the collapse of world trade due to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff; government policies; bank failures and panics; and the collapse of the money supply.

So I was reading this from our enemies:

https://incels.is/threads/it-never-even-began-for-you-if-your-parents-were-35-or-older-when-you-were-born.511218/

Quote
I would like to start this thread with a dedication to Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd, may his memory be a blessing, may the Lord avenge his blood.

I was born in early 1997. My parents were born in mid/late 1960, making them 36 when I was born, easily 5-10 years older than 90% of my peers's parents when I was growing up.

I'm also the oldest child in my family, so they don't even have that excuse for having me when they were **** geriatric, and I love Dr. Verwoerd and Apartheid, and in South Africa back then, people had children at much more normal ages.
...
children of older fathers are confirmed to be uglier, and children of older mothers are more likely to have various mental illnesses.

Uglier by Western standards only, and mental illnesses as defined by Western psychiatry only.

Quote
Dr Verwoerd's father was 27 and his mother was 28. I love Dr. Verwoerd. I love Apartheid.

Paul Kruger's father was 24 and his mother was 19, which is very close to the ideal age for females to have children.
...
Marthinus Wessel Pretorius's father (the great Andries Pretorius) was 20 and his mother was 19.

Besides Verwoerd and Kruger whom we have already covered:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/enemies/orania/msg15130/#msg15130

Quote
The entrance to the town displays a bust of Paul Kruger, a monument that commemarates the Battle of Blood River[4], the day Jan van Riebeeck landed in South-Africa, Paardekraal and a bust of Hendrik Verwoerd,[5] considered[6] by some as the "father of Apartheid";

note:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marthinus_Wessel_Pretorius

Quote
An Afrikaner (or "Boer"), he helped establish the South African Republic (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek or ZAR; also referred to as Transvaal)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Republic

Quote
Under a law of 1855, only white people were permitted to be citizens of the ZAR and to own land.[22] The constitution of the ZAR stated: "The volk (people) are not prepared to allow any equality of the non-white with the white inhabitants, either in the church or the state".[23]

Back to enemy topic, just one more example from them of why they think people should reproduce at an early age:

Quote
Clarence Thomas's father was 17 (the ideal age to have children) and his mother was 19. Justice Thomas is probably the greatest legal mind the world has ever seen.

By the way, just to emphasize that the author is an enemy, this is his signature quote:

But this got me thinking: if our enemies think reproduction at an earlier age is beneficial to their objectives, does it follow that reproduction at a later age is beneficial to our objectives?

The technical backdrop is that the later in life the parents conceive, the more time their eggs and sperm have had to mutate, and hence the more mutations are likely to be present in the conceived offspring. I do not dispute this.

Instead, I posit that the more neotenous are likely to tend to reproduce at a later age, since they physically mature more slowly. This might be how an initial neotenization event during the Neolithic Revolution (since it would likely have been those personally least suited to hunting who would have had the most incentive to come up with farming) produced the additional mutations conducive to the other Aryan traits that we value, whereas the non-neotenized, continuing to reproduce earlier (despite also switching to farming after being taught it by us), failed to produce such mutations and hence continued to lack Aryan traits:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/mythical-world/uneducable-gentiles/

Going by my observations of present-day people, I have noticed that while lower-neoteny men do not always reproduce early (mainly due to economic considerations), when they do reproduce later it is often with younger women (which they have a fairly consistent preference for). Higher-neoteny men seem to have less preference for younger women. This last observation might appear counterintuitive (if you imagine higher-neoteny men feel younger themselves and hence guess that they prefer younger women more than lower-neoteny men do), but applying my model it makes sense that it is the other way round.

So higher neoteny men don't necessarily prefer younger women, but do you think it would be best for them to reproduce with young women regardless to avoid potential non-Aryan mutations?

No, more mutations are what we need! Those with non-Aryan mutations can always themselves be prohibited from reproducing. But we aren't going to achieve our racial ideal without further neotenization, which requires further mutations. Recall:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/questions-debates/people-with-'aryan-phenotype'/msg15212/#msg15212

Quote
Perfect humans would be so neotenous as to be physically incapable of reproducing. The fact that Aryan bloodlines exist is evidence that Aryans are not perfect humans, but merely good enough to figure out what perfect humans should be like (see bold).

Hopefully we can eventually breed a batch of fully neotenous humans as the endpoint of National Socialism, but such a batch would by definition be the last generation.
...
If our breeding program does not go wrong, each new generation will be more neotenous than the previous, until eventually we reach the last generation that will physically remain children their entire lives. Because:

Are maturation and the Aryan mutations independent of each other? What I mean is, are the Aryan mutations the result of reproducing at a later age, or simply maturing sexually at a later age? For example, if the non-Aryans who had matured earlier had waited until a later age to reproduce, would they have gotten similar mutations?

This is unclear at present. It should be theoretically possible for non-Aryans who reproduce late to get an Aryan mutation, but it still wouldn't be the same ones that a contemporaneous Aryan who reproduces late gets. For example, a robust person F who reproduces late might (if lucky) get Gracilization Level 1, while a contemporaneous gracile person G reproducing late might (if lucky) get Gracilization Level 9. I doubt it is possible for F to get Gracilization Level 9 without ancestors who had already collected Gracilization Levels 1-8 (in which case F would not be robust!), no matter how late they leave it to reproduce.

College students in Zhengzhou compete for sperm quality

College students in Zhengzhou compete for sperm quality, with highest allowance of $837

Quote
Male college students in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan Province, will compete in a sperm-quality competition, participants of which could claim an allowance of up to 6,100 yuan ($837). The competition has been set up as a move to encourage sperm donation from local young people.

According to the statement from the official WeChat account of Henan Province Human Sperm Bank, the event will have a winner by evaluating the concentration, motility, volume, sperm malformation rate and the comprehensive power of their sperm.

Joining the competition will be free of charge and winners could even be awarded up to 6,100 yuan.

The competition result will be anonymously announced in the form of data, according to the sperm bank.

Many college students from Zhengzhou, left their real names under the statement online and express their readiness for the sperm competition and donation.

One of them who claimed to be a student from Zhengzhou University asked for likes from other netizens and claimed that he would donate the amount of sperm according to how many "likes" he gained from the netizens.

An employee from the sperm bank told media that the purpose of the competition is to call for more college student to donate their sperm since their sperm quality is better.

According to the employee, the donation process will last two to three months and the donors have to live in Zhengzhou in a long term.

The employee advised the donors to make appointment in advance since there is a daily quota for sperm donation.

As of the end of 2022, there were 29 sperm banks across the country. In February, sperm banks in multiple places across the country called for donation from the local college students and the topic of "less than 20 percent of the donors' sperm being qualified for sperm donation" aroused heated discussions.

Wtf?

https://www.deseret.com/2015/9/24/20572960/overweight-men-are-more-likely-to-have-sons-but-at-a-cost

Quote
New research suggests that overweight men are more likely to father sons, according to a study from the journal Fertility and Sterility.

The study, which looked at 8,500 couples who were in fertility treatments, found that slim men had 611 boys and 569 girls, while overweight men were 27 percent more likely to have sons, according to Metro.

“The present study is the first to report that overweight and obese men lead to a higher sex ratio at birth compared with normal weight men,” the study’s researchers said, according to Daily Mail.
...
one explanation may be that overweight men carry more Y chromosomes in their sperm
...
, overweight dads could also pass on negative health effects.

For example, research from the University of South Wales found that obese children are more likely to be born to obese fathers, according to News.com. Specifically, the study found that grandsons of overweight grandfathers were more likely to be obese than grandsons of thinner grandfathers, according to news.com.

If we were in charge, only low BMI men (and women) would be allowed to reproduce.

Makes you wonder what Henry VIII's real problem was then? His wives must have been some of the unluckiest women in England at that time?

Body Odor May Smell Worse to You Than Your Ancient Ancestors
...
Olfactory receptors can be traced back hundreds of millions of years and are believed to be present in all vertebrates. Humans have around 800 olfactory receptor genes, but only about half of them are functional, meaning they’ll be translated into proteins that hang out in the nose and detect odor molecules. But within a functional gene, minor variations can cause changes in its corresponding receptor protein, and those changes can massively affect how an odor is perceived.

“There’s a molecule called androstenone,” said Joel Mainland, a neuroscientist at Monell Chemical Senses Center and an author of the new study. “And we know that some people smell that molecule as urine, some people smell that molecule as sandalwood, and some people don’t smell it at all.”
...
In the case of the underarm odor, most people with the more evolutionarily recent gene variant found it more intense.
...
they’re adding to evidence that “odorant receptors as a group have extraordinary variety.”

Recent example:

Quote
Individuals who assigned higher importance to olfaction or engaged more in body odor sniffing showed stronger sexual desire. We further explored these associations in different cultures to determine whether cultural consistency existed. We conducted a second study to make cross-cultural comparisons between Indian (N = 313) and US (N = 249) populations. For both countries, a higher importance placed on olfaction and a higher prevalence of body odor sniffing were consistently associated with stronger sexual desire. In conclusion, our study confirmed that people who placed more value on olfactory function or engaged more in body odor sniffing showed stronger sexual desire. These correlations were consistent for both sexes and across different cultures, further indicating the importance of olfaction in sexuality.

I myself cannot stand body odour, and am disgusted by sniffers.
