DNA Expert: New Breakaway Human Species is Evolving in Indonesia | Dr. Melissa Ilardo

Saying intelligence is not genetic is perhaps the most unscientific thing I've ever heard.

I watched a documentary about Sherpas in the Himalayas that are evolving different from their activities at higher altitudes. Their blood consumes oxygen differently as I recall

When I lived in Japan in the late 1950's I learned about the Ama, female Japanese Pearl divers, who routinly free dove both deeper and for longer periods of time. They have been doing it for at least 1,000 years.

Not only Indonesians...The Badjao are a group indigenous to the Philippines but also live in parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries.

Holding breath and cold water on your face induces the mammalian dive response. It slows down vitals to conserve oxygen as well. So you get those extra red blood cells with extra oxygen AND your body slows your respiration and heart rate way down, thereby also conserving oxygen.

This is crazy to know because when i was a little kid, i would hold my breath a lot. (Mainly when angry. Lol) but i would also do the thing where id make my face red by putting all the blood to my head. Well then as a kid, baywatch came alone, and i was a fan. I saw that David Hasselhoff said "To be a lifeguard here, you have to be able to hold your breath for 4 minutes minimum) so as a kid, i immediately started in the pool and right away, i was up over 4 minutes. I wonder if its correlated to my breath-hold fits as a toddler. Lol

I've always thought of increasing my spleen size until i realized it would directly impact my ability to spleesh

Two things: 1. Contrary to early Darwinistic Interpretations, "death is NOT the only 'Agent Of Change'. 2 - Also - Epigenetics CAN affect the time-dependent expression of certain genes,; therefore behavior can and will adapt physical forms beyond their purely genetic confines.

Parasympathetic dominance → high vagal tone → splenic contraction inhibition → stable RBC levels → cognitive stability Sympathetic dominance → splenic contraction → RBC dump → rapid metabolic shift → flexible/chaotic processing
