Robin could be the result of early Homo sapiens and neanderthals mixing together. I mean if you listen to the Stone Age song on horrible histories they did explain that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens did live together during the upper Paleolithic era which is about 40,000 years ago. So how did Robin would light a fire?

I did consider the idea that Robin or even Hat could be a Neanderthal-Homo sapien hybrid, as it is absolutely true that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals interbred. (To the point that every human alive today has some Neanderthal DNA!)

However, I think this would actually be quite unlikely based on a few small details. The first is actually skin colour. We can tell from DNA evidence that Neanderthals had the genes for lighter skin and hair, however Homo sapiens didn't develop lighter skin until between c. 6,000 - 18,000 years ago. DNA from the Cheddar Man (c. 9,100 BP/before present), found in England, shows that he had dark skin (& probably blue eyes). As we know, Robin doesn't have dark skin and if he was a hybrid he probably would have darker skin than other Neanderthals.

The other reason is the facial/skull feature. This is largely based on Hat but you can see the same features on Robin too. In my last post about Hat and Robin I analysed the skull features of Hat that indicate him as a Neanderthal. Some of these features, such as the occipital bun and the chin, vary slightly from the typical Neanderthal and lean slightly more H.sapien. However, the variation is not strong enough to discredit natural variation within an individual species and there is little other evidence indicating hybridisation.

Although there are many osteological and anatomical features that distinguish Neanderthals from humans, most would be difficult to discern without knowing what you're looking for. A common joke floated in archaeological circles is that you wouldn't be able to tell if someone was a Neanderthal or not if they were on a train dressed in modern clothes. Notable features that would be apparent would be a pronounced brow ridge, a large nose and projected mid-face, short and stocky/muscular stature, and a small chin (chins are so very new and human). With a bit a prosthetic makeup (as with Robin) a modern human can look quite like a Neanderthal.

So, yes it is very true that Neanderthals and H. sapiens lived & bred together around 40kya, but I don't think Robin and Hat are hybrids. I actually suspect they're much older than 40k years old. Especially as Robin could have been in "England" as early as the Eemian (c. 130,000 - 115,000 ya) - the previous interglacial before the Last Glacial Period and the Holocene (current interglacial). I usually say that Robin is at least 40,000 years old as that is when the Neanderthals died out in Europe and is the approximate terminus ante quem for Robin's lifetime. The Eemian* is therefore the approximate terminus post quem meaning that he likely lived sometime between 130,000 and 40,000 years ago.

* I use Eemian as the TPQ although there are Neanderthals present in "Britain" from both the Penultimate Glacial Period and the Holstein/Hoxnian Interglacial but the preservation of Hat means that he didn't go through periods of 'defrosting' so the glacial levels would have had to be constantly greater or the same as when he was deposited (died), which is only possible starting at the Eemian.

Lastly to answer your question about fire: archaic humans (all various Homo species) have been able to use fire since the time of Homo erectus (2 million - 108,000 ya) with the first definitive evidence dating to around 1.7 Mya. Research by Sorenson et al. (2018) suggests that Neanderthals may have created fire by striking the flat surfaces of their flint tools with iron containing rocks such as pyrite, and could possibly have even used manganese dioxide containing rocks to reduce the temperature needed to start the fire. Whilst this study is only preliminary, there is substantial evidence that Neanderthals utilised fire in cooking and tool making.

So then hops up is wearing a similar outfit that he did in the laundry room we lost a fight in his ribs got broken and he died and that's our message we're going to kill you now Dan

We're going to kill your father too you think all sorts of stupid s*** like you got something for free what do you think you got you're not going to keep the stuff in your apartment that's for sure nor is Dan. It's going to be removed cuz you don't belong there oh boy f****** homo that's funny little hobo I want his stuff Dan says I want Trump's ship.

Really dumb so we're sitting here listening phone's going it's it's defrosted and then clown it's kind of hard in the middle and you don't know your s*** you're a piece of garbage man he's a total ship head. It's like all these ships are up there and it's like millions of ships out there and he wants one can't convince you guys that's stupid either but you're fired by me you don't work for me anymore not that you did but I'm not doing anything with you people all your retards are on your own for the stupid show here. Don't have to do anything with you pretty soon you won't have any power at all yeah okay Dad hey Dan how are you broken ribs want to go to the hospital and die again that's what you kind of it stupid my people clobbered you now I'm going to make sure you don't get up stupid s***.

I'm putting warrants on him I'm going to send him to the morgue oh at the same time you people are so dumb they're telling you what not to do all the day long and you turn around you screw up right away I guess tonight's your time to die he's going to shoot you at dinner but you see it coming right Trump you see him get up and he's going right at you he's trying to threaten me with his own death which is stupid and he's saying that he wants your ships you deserve to kill each other, if he's also right now that he's attacking your forces and I would incur more damage by announcing it that's why I'm announcing it it's not to help you dumb f**** you can threaten me to get your way I'm going to cut your force in half of what it would be globally dumb f*** for what you're doing and his stupid phone so have a nice night why did you keep to yourself you dumb f****** retards

Now son says that and they're so stupid they're turning around and saying you want to go again to each other and what we say is we're going to follow through and what he's saying and get rid of more you and tonight we're putting our fortresses into your areas Trump and Dan and into areas you're still in so you can try and fight them we need to territory and we need the stuff and we need it now and your women are like oh good he's moving in but it's not them right cuz you have something to say so we have to pull you in why are we announcing it will you tell us you're the brain right you're the genius that divest our information as you say no. The grasping straws as your forces been cut into pieces from us talking about it you still don't understand

“The Snows of Terror”

Season 1 episode 24 - 2nd May 1964

[id: three men in outfits resembling medieval knights. two of them are stood looking over a cliff edge, with their swords out, and one is hunched over emerging from a small opening in the wall behind them. /end id]

This is absolutely the most filler episode so far in the show. There’s not really any good interesting ideas, any fun design elements are not used in fun ways, and there’s absolutely nothing to do with the overall themes and barely anything to do with the overall plot of the serial.

Is it an entertaining watch: 2/5, no, if you didn’t get that idea from the last paragraph, it’s just kinda boring. At least there’s the bit where Ian rubs short-shorts-man’s leg and its kinda gay I enjoyed that, or rather I enjoyed pointing at the screen and shouting homo. Nothing else though.

Does the production hold up: 2/5, some things in this episodelook good. Most things don’t. The inexplicable medieval knights, the terrifying chasm that’s maybe a few feet across, the poorly inserted stock footage of the wolves, the unconvincing caves - this episode really has it all (derogatory). The knights especially are really funny actually, the defrosting scene is nice but once they’re moving at full speed it’s just a bit silly, especially the way they look around using their full body like 1989 Batman.

Does it use its time well: 3/5, the development of the threat is pretty good in the first half, but then Terry Nation does what Terry Nation does best when he has pages of a script to fill: have his characters wander around in a cave, including making their way over a big hole.

Are the characters consistent and well-used: 2/5, ignoring that this is one of Hartnell’s holiday episodes, Susan is also completely absent from the beginning of the episode. While I get that it’s to preserve the mystery of what happened to her and Sabitha, there’s really not much mystery and it’s really obvious from the start so why are we pretending there’s some sort of tension there?

Is there anything actually going on under the surface: 1/5, this is the point where I went “am I just making up the whole themes thing in this serial?” because there’s NOTHING here about mind control, or control, or even just the nature of power in society.

Does it avoid being a bit dodge with its politics: 1/5, this episode is not the worst instance of Barbara Wright being threatened with sexual assault. But it’s still here, and I don’t like it. Obviously it’s not like I don’t think these things can be depicted in a TV show (unless it’s being played for comedy like it will be in The Romans in season 2), but I really think that it should serve some sort of purpose within the narrative. But here, it’s just another thing that she’s threatened with, and when the implication is already that she’s going to be killed, I really just don’t think this was necessary, especially in a children’s science fiction adventure show. This show can and will do darker themes really well, exploring things in-depth, but I don’t think this was what Terry wanted to do. He just wanted to threaten Barbara with something.

Overall Score - 11/30

Mariah Carey and Michael Buble have successfully been defrosted!!!

I’m listening to Santa baby (no homo) as we speak!

Alright, I’ve gotten back into writing Spider-Man.

I’m scrapping the Wonder Woman x Spider-Man open relationship with Mary Jane X Felicia Open relationship that ultimately culminates into a 4 people polycule where Peter gets pegged, and go for something a bit more simple. So, I’m sorry for the, like, 20 kudos I received on Ao3 over that, and 31 favorites on HF, but that’s abandoned at the moment.

So, new idea...

Amazing Spinnerete, an AU where MJ gets bitten by the spider instead.

(Spider-Woman and Jackpot were already taken and Spider-Girl didn’t sound right to her, as if it was too early for that).

1) Peter, who doesn’t get any powers ever for the entirety of my story (unlike I was planning to do for Mary Jane in the previous one as I piled power after power on her among star sapphire rings, spirits of vengeance, symbiontes, Gamma Radiations and Thor’s hammer), turns into a Sidekick/IT Guy role to her.

2) He’s there to fulfill a purely supporting role to MJ Heroics, craft the webs, be a support to her, all that shebang you’d expect, while getting worried sick over her going out in New York and risking her life daily among villains and criminals and whatnot. He’s the “Nerd behind the computer,” a concept that got admittedly popularized by Oracle, as well as her “field medic” when she gets back home and needs stitching on both the costume and her scars. 

3) Also uncle Ben is alive and on a ongoing trip with Aunt Anna and Aunt May around the world. They solve crimes, off screen, like 3 Jessica Fletchers, so Peter isn’t as fucked up emotionally as in canon.

4) I’m gona take from the MC2 and say that, unlike Peter, MJ is actually trying to profit off her image from the start. This might cause some conflicts with Peter over him not wanting them to lucrate on some of their crime fighting (Such as not wanting to patent the web fluid in fear of criminals getting a hold of it), and mixes up with their already canon conflict over her being the main breadwinner in the couple AND the possibility of her doing progressively more risque work.

5) Specifically, I’m gona say it: Spinnerete and Mary Jane have two separate OnlyFans. It’s a modernized story and they are in their mid twenties and need a stable source of income and what better than a horde of people out there paying the same woman TWICE for pics of her buying wonderbread? “Pictures of Spinneret” therefore become a way different phrase, and there is a debate in universe over a superheroine essentially being a sex worker, and all that that entails. I don’t know how well I’m going to explore it tho so this might get dropped after a while and just make her a ASMRtist or a Twitch Streamer, basically the same thing at this point.

6) Since this is a AU I can do like Spider-Gwen did and not just fuck up one piece of the main universe but make every aspect of the universe different, so, bullet list of things I’ve been coming up with that are different from main continuity:

6A) The Hero to Heroine ratio (as well as Villain to Villainess) is 1 hero every 10 heroines. Major (Male, Homo Sapiens) heroes in the setting are: Johnny Storm (Johnny Storm), Thor (Thor Odinson), Power Man (Luke Cage), Iron Man (Rhodey Rhodes), Original Captain America (Steve Rogers).

6B) The mutant community is a massive polycule of free love and shit. The biggest mutant community in the world is stationed in the Free Republic of Genosha, currently part of a worldwide international federation of small nations around the globe born to contrast Soviet and American influences during the cold war called IFMP (International Federation of Micro-Powers). Latveria and Wakanda are part of it, and are the leaders of the two major factions among the delegates in the form of the isolationists (Wakanda) and the Expansionists (Latveria). The second biggest mutant community in the world is in San Diego. most male superheroes and some of their villains happen to be mutants.

6C) Susan Storm lead a year long deep space expedition team financed by the united states government, and managed to contact several alien races in her travels, returning to earth with diplomatic ties and Power Cosmic given to her by Infinity herself as a sign of good will after she and the united armies of space finally managed to slay and destroy “The eldritch abomination at the edge of reality that makes people racist by existing,” as it was called. This starts a age of cooperation between the various alien races and empires out there in the cosmos and Earth, their embassies being built in most of the major nations of the world, trade and science deals cropping up as a result.

6D) Susan Storm later formed the (apolitical, above nations and planets) superhero team the Fantastic Five, which changed members over the years based on relationship with other alien planets and tensions between the members of the team. Current line up consists in Susan Storm (Susan Storm, former Ms. Fantastic), super partes leader due to the Power Cosmic, alongside Lyja the Lazerfist (Second Ms. Fantastic and Former Skrull chaos agent on earth during the Skrull-Kree Cold War), Crystalia Amaquelin (Crystal, Inhuman Ambassador), She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters, earth representative and legal expert), Thundra (Thundra, Femizonian Ambassador). The Kree empire was disbanded after the end of the Kree-Skrull cold war.

6E) Johnny Storm never became the second human torch but ends up becoming Evil Jesus. During his trip to the stars with his sister he accidentally ends up in the Negative Zone, the void between dimensions, and befriends the locals, becoming a jesus like figure and ending up ruling the place. It’s not as banged up as it sounds but with prolonged commuting with the Negative Zone he has achieved a state of resonance with Oblivion, one of the other 4 great entities of the universe, and has become his champion. (in direct contrast with his sister’s coming from Infinity). He still uses his powers for good, if in a chaotic good way compared to his sister lawful good one.

6F) Peggy Carter was subjected to the Super Soldier program during WWII, thus becoming Agent England, de facto leader of the Invaders (Mostly same team, Sub-Mariner, First Human Torch, etc.), and guiding the assault against nazi germany and hydra. She and her sidekick end up frozen on the same plane

6G) Steve Rogers was still picked under her wing, if not able to receive super soldier treatment, and still became the (original) Captain America, a purely propagandist figure of a scrawny, physically weak son of immigrants Brooklyn dude, the complete opposite of the German Ubermech ideal for the white man, but with enough anger and outrage over an unjust world to pick fights with people 5 times his size, shown in many a propaganda video punching Hitler square in the jaw and knocking him out cold. They both ended up on that plane crashing in the arctic and were defrosted several years later.

6H) With the disappearance of Agent England, the Invaders disbanding, and the cold war underway, with no superhero team really cropping up, Doctor Deidre Wentworth managed to develop a modified version of the Super Soldier Serum, testing it on herself, and becoming the Superior Captain America. She forms the (US Exclusive, extremely political) “Americommandos” superteam, with selected superheroines and “reformed” supervillaines of the time. The team was responsible for many controversial superhero activities during the cold war, in and out of the united states, and is still going to this day, even if some members have retires or have outright died. Not Superior Cap tho, no, her aging has been slowed down due to the serum, so here she is still guiding black ops teams to capture and imprison some worker rights activists that happen to be mutants.

6I) The Sorcerer Supreme of this dimension happens to be Doctor Doom, Ruler of Latveria.

6L) Norman Osborn never became the Green Goblin. He was still a scummy CEO and millionaire, and still had a affair with one of his son’s best friends. Gwen was dating Peter at the time and ended up getting pregnant with Norman, he finds out, pressures her to get an abortion, almost terrorizes her, she doesn’t cave, Peter is understandably confused and shocked but still wants to support her (as does Mary Jane), but on the day of Gwen’s son’s and daughter’s birth Norman pulls the same shit he pulled in canon with Mary Jane and Mayday, hires an assassin to force a miscarriage, Gwen finds out a couple months later, stages her death, and becomes the Ghost-Goblin, ending up throwing Norman off the New York bridge and killing him in the process for good. His estate and company was inherited by his son, Henry, who devolved most of it to charity, destroying the Osborn business empire.

7) That’s the gist of it really, gona elaborate on more tomorrow.

EDIT: 8) Nightcrawler is the Pope.

The thing that irritated me the most about steggy endgame wasn’t the fact it’s pretty much the franchise going No-homo. It was just the fact that it seemingly erased Peggy’s agency. It erased a decade of character development. It ignored the entire fact that Steve was moving on with his life post-defrost.

He loved Peggy, that’s not a surprise, but he only loved her for a short time in his life. He knew Bucky for nearly 2 decades and her for about 2 years. And that’s only if the program happened in 43 and he crashed in 45. He woke up and she was old and fraying and telling him to move on. He wasn’t ready to date during civil war because he was still mourning the loss of his first real girlfriend and the best friend he hadn’t lived without since he was like 6.

She became director of shield. She got married. She loved and lived a long fulfilling life.

And then endgame decides to give her to Steve because he deserves it. Like she’s some prize to be had for his life going the way it did. I’m glad he got his dance. I’m glad that he had that happiness he didn’t have in the future. I’m not glad that they ham fisted it so bad that fans were left scratching their head and everyone and their mother that was part of it is still scrambling to explain why it was so easy for him to abandon a man he new for 20 years and spent half of his time in the brave new world chasing.

Climate change can bring back viruses that were dormant for a long time | ViralHai News [ad_1]

The Thwing Ground once brought frozen microorganisms, organic materials and other particles to the surface that had been closed for centuries.

Long-dormant viruses brought back to life; Revival of deadly and disgusting smallpox; A dengue or Zika "season" in Europe.

Scientists say that this disaster may be the storyline of the film, but it is also a serious cause of severe and fast-spreading epidemics.

The COVID-19 pandemic that has blown the globe and claimed that over 760,000 lives so far has come from a wild bat, exposing the threat of humanity's continued encroachment on the planet's dwindling wild places.

But the wide ecological footprint of our species can trigger epidemics in other ways as well.

Climate change - already wreaking havoc with one degree Celsius of warming - is also emerging as a driver of infectious disease, whether by expanding the footprint of malaria- and dengue-carrying mosquitoes or by Siberian pemafrost. Defrosting prehistoric pathogens.

Ignorance is our enemy

"In my darkest moments, I see a truly terrible future for Homo sapiens because we are an animal, and when we expand our borders," said Birgitta Ivengaard, clinical microbiology researcher at Umiya University, Sweden It will happen to us. "

"Our biggest enemy is our own ignorance," he said. "Nature is full of microorganisms."

Think of Permafrost, a climate change time bomb spread across Russia, Canada and Alaska containing three times the carbon that has been emitted since the beginning of industrialization.

Even if humanity manages to cap global warming below two degrees Celsius, the PermitFrost region, a cornerstone target of the 2015 Paris Agreement, will be reduced to 2100, according to the IPCC, the UN climate science panel.

And then there are the hidden treasures of Perfrost.

"Microorganisms can survive in frozen space for long periods of time," said Vladimir Romanowski, a professor of geophysics at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.

Anthrax withdrawal?

At the ground level, once frozen soil particles, organic matter, and microorganisms that had been sealed for millennia are transported to the surface by the flow of water, he explained.

"Melting in this way can spread these microorganisms to the current environment."

There are already examples of ancient, long-frozen insects coming to life.

"When you put a seed in the soil that has been frozen for thousands of years then nothing happens", said Jean-Michel Claverie, an emerging professor of genomics at the Aix-Marseille University School of Medicine in France.

"But when you heat the earth, the seed will sprout," he said. "This is what happens with viruses."

Claveri's lab has successfully revived Siberian viruses that are at least 30,000 years old.

These Renaissance insects only attack amoebae, but tens of thousands of years ago there were certainly others that aimed at the food chain.

"Neanderthals, mammoths, woolly rhinoceros all became ill, and many died," Claverie said. "Some of the causes of the virus that were the cause of his illnesses are probably still in the soil."

The number of lean bacteria and viruses in the permafrost is incurable, but the more important question is how dangerous they are.

And here, scientists disagree.

"Anthrax suggests that bacteria can rest in the permafrost for hundreds of years and regenerate," Evengard said.

In 2016, a child died of an illness in Siberia, which had disappeared from the region at least 75 years earlier.

Two million year old pathogens

The case has been attributed to the thawing of a long-buried corpse, but some experts state that the animal under consideration may have been in shallow filth and thus subject to periodic thawing.

Other pathogens - such as smallpox or influenza strain, which killed millions in 1917 and 1918 - may also be present in the sub-Arctic region.

But they are "probably deactivated", Romanowski concluded in a study published earlier this year.

However, for Claverie, the return of smallpox - officially erased 50 years ago - cannot be ruled out. Victims of the disease in the 18th and 19th centuries "buried in cemeteries in Siberia are fully protected from the cold," he said.

In the unlikely event of a local pandemic, a vaccine is available.

The real danger, he said, is under deep stress, where unknown pathogens have not seen daylight for two million years.

If there were no hosts for the insects, then there would be no problem, but climate change - indirectly - has also intervened here.

"With the industrial exploitation of the Arctic, all are risk factors - pathogens and people to carry them," Claverie said.

There has been speculation of a revival of ancient bacteria or viruses, but climate change has already promoted the spread of diseases causing about half a million people each year: malaria, dengue, chikungunya, zika.

"The northward-facing mosquitoes are now able to overwinter in some temperate regions," said Jean Mele, sub-group leader for biosecurity and public health at the Los Almos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

"They also have a longer reproduction period."

Climate change aperitif

Native to Southeast Asia, tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) - which carries dengue and chikungunya - arrived in southern Europe in the first decade of this century and has been rapidly moving northwards, to Paris and beyond.

Meanwhile, another dengue infested mosquito, Aedes aegypti, Also appeared in Europe. Whichever species may be the culprit, the Europe Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has registered 40 cases of localized dengue transmission between 2010 and 2019.

"Increase in average temperature may lead to seasonal dengue transmission in southern Europe a. Easy The virus was established to be infected, "according to the Europe Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

For malaria - a disease that once blew southern Europe and the southern United States and for which an effective treatment exists - the risk of exposure depends in large part on socio-economic conditions.

According to a study cited by the IPCC, if climate change continues, more than five billion people may live in malaria-affected areas by 2050, but strong economic growth and social development may reduce that number to less than two billion. .

The IPCC said in 2013, "Recent experiences in Southern Europe show how fast the disease can grow if health services falter."

In Africa - which saw 228 million cases of malaria in 2018, 94 percent of the world's total - the disease vector is growing in new areas, most notably in the high-altitude plains of Ethiopia and Kenya.

At the moment, indications for communicable tropical diseases are "worrisome in terms of expanding vectors, not necessarily transmission," said Cyril Kaminade, an epidemiologist working at the University of Liverpool on infections and climate change at the Global Institute of Health.

"He said, we are only tasting the climate so far," he said.

First blog post

Well, it’s my first time blogging, so hi everyone! I’m Neanderthal Dan, symbolically 21 years old, but technically 60,121 years old. You’ve probably already heard about it, so I won’t go too into detail, but basically they found me in the Siberian Tundra, defrosted me like a burrito, and here I am!

Today I wanted to talk a little about art. I’ve read on the Internet that some people think Neanderthals didn’t make any. Totally not true, and I can prove it like this:

(Self portrait, Microsoft Paint, 2020.)

Haha, that was just a little joke. In actuality, evidence of Neanderthal art from back in my day was found!

www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02357-8

At this website, you can see art found in caves in Maltravieso, Spain made by Neanderthals before Homo sapiens even arrived in Europe, so you know for sure it was my guys. The art in here is at least 65,000 years old, so a bit more than me. Based on this, maybe we were the ones who taught you to make art, not the other way around! 

This guy, Jones, makes a good pro-Neanderthal case too:

“The significance of the new dating for Europe’s oldest cave art is not that it makes Neanderthals the inventors of art. It is actually bigger than that. The reason it is so eerie to think of a Neanderthal making a hand-image is that the painted hands – not to mention bison, horses and mammoths – found in European caves have come to be seen as the moment when the modern human mind itself is born: the first evidence not just of the intelligence of Homo sapiens but our capacity to imagine and dream, to reflect, in short to possess consciousness. What does it mean if another kind of human species shared those traits? Is there nothing special about us at all?“

Take it from me... “is there nothing special about [Homo sapiens] at all” is a pretty dismal view, I think you’re all special in your own ways, whether you make art, or Neanderthals make art, or even if you don’t. One thing’s for sure, these findings do help tear down some unfortunate stereotyping about the brutishness of Neanderthals, which is a topic I want to continue to cover on this blog. Until next time!
