Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Anthropologist/geneticists Have proven a rather interesting fact of human history.

The human race has been pruned back to well below 5000 individuals...world wide. This "die-back" has occurred at least 5 times.

We now have what? 71/2 Billion people competing for resources..Say we kill off 7 billion 400,million
Nature is still going to have to run down a hundred million or so.

History tells that such a die back is not extinction.
Human conditions after the plague years are found to be far more prosperous and innovative.

Why because Nature springs back into life generation every when and where she can.
Far fewer mouths to feed on the same soil, far fewer hunters in the woods meas a far greater likely hood of success.
If we had but 10,000,000 people this world would be paradise.
One might say that next time we will fall far further and we will have to make our come back with far less to work with..
Say only 100,000 survive and for the next 3 generations half of us continue to die..and no one makes it past 50 years.
That's 150 years and around 12,000 people.
More that twice then number we need to kick start the human race.
This to shall pass. How and when, no man knows

She got soul.

Thanks for the insight. Was in the middle of posting back and power went out. No air conditioning in 98 degrees. I had forgotten how oppressive heat can be.

An old favorite!

Oh yeah?
72 is coming to get cha!
(I was fast, but 72 was faster! LOL

"You don't have to live like a refugee"
What a great line!!

There are quite a few air conditioning options...Pick one.We are only nibbling at what's to come...soon (less than ten years)it will be air condition or die.

But modern air C. can only lower ambient by 20 degrees. Other wise the air coming out would have to be truly frigid. I look for teck to improve as the world heats and heaps upon us.

At your age you should cling to cool for dear life!!
But you can't now! Because there's not an air conditioner to be had for love or money in the North west.

Patti told me of a guy that drove his truck to Calif. and brought a half dozen for his neighbors.
Can you imagine how his popularity jumped upon arrival!

Rick should be the first music historian to be commandeered into the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

We only need 500 to avoid "Founders disease" from inbreeding. We may behave stupidly when in captivity, But remember out forefathers came to power when Saber-toothed tigers roam the Earth.
Were pretty sure Dad is what happened to the woolly mammoth

The difference between Wild and domesticated man is almost unimaginable.We do quite well in the wild.

Even to this day there is no animal so elusive that men can not hunt or trap it.
Personally I think we will always stand a pretty good chance in the survival lotto.

Ah so. So what I hear is her time warping with herself.
When I did that they called schizophrenic! ":O)
