Or a virus spreading camel 
âDONâT TOUCH DA CAMELS!â 
Hunters/gatherers work a lot less hours than farmers who toil the land from dawn to dusk and no weekends. I donât have the figures now but there were studies conducted on Bushmen in Kalahari Desert and elsewhere and they a lot of leisure time, sitting around a fire, singing and exchanging stories.
Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons left cave paintings. Why? Because they had the time to do so. In a cave in Austria dating from the Neanderthal period, they found a skull of a bear and its bones arranged in a ceremonious manner. Itâs akin to the Ainu bear cult in norther Japan.
Bottom line: prehistoric cave men (so-called) spent a lot of time, doing their rituals, sitting around a fire, singing, and having a good time.
BTW, they found flutes made from bear bones by Neanderthals.
Modern humans live next to getting a cancer and the teeth are absolutely âtoday here, tomorrow gone.â Thereâs something wrong with the metabolism. Teeth of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon were healthy, while some teeth were worn, probably because they used the teeth as a third hand while working tools, etc.
Neanderthals buried their dead with dignity in a ceremony and thatâs why we find their fossilized bones. In Shanidar, Iraq, they found a lot of pollen in a burial cave. The families and relatives offered flowers to the dead.
The famous Neanderthal from la Chapelle-aux-Saints suffered from crippling arthritis, and it gave the anthropologists of the 20th century the wrong impression that Neanderthals couldnât stand up straight.
Actually he was cared for by his family until his death because he was basically a total invalid. Can you expect that from peasants busy working the field all day?
Noooooo! Eat fewer meals not more! Probably more important than whether you eat carbs or not is the frequency of your meals. Every time you eat, no matter what, you will get insulin. Everything gets turned into sugar eventually and your blood will be swarming with it. The role of insulin is to get that out of your blood and into the liver or muscles where it is converted to glycogen for easy access. Now if you are constantly munching, that insulin never gets a rest. It is forever hammering away at the cells and that is when you get insulin resistance, which is diabetes.
Look around nowadays. You see people eating breakfast, mid morning, lunch, mid afternoon, dinner, late night⌠itâs hard to keep up. Guess what, theyâre all fat.
There is a misconception about the role of exercise too. You see, run half an hour and you only burn 250 calories (ok, depending on how much you have to shift around). Hardly worth it right? Wrong. Raising the heart rate to 80-90% of max and sustaining it triggers growth hormone. Actually, the growth hormone is triggered in the recovery process afterwards. Growth hormone has several very important functions. It is the key which opens the muscle cells to incoming amino acids, developing muscles. Muscles are very energy hungry, even at rest. Another function is the countering of insulin, switches it off.
What I would recommend for weight loss and to reverse insulin resistance, in this order, would be:
- Proper exercise. Youâve got to sweat. Then rest and recover before going again.
- Eat fewer meals. Once or twice a day.
- Lower carbs, cut out refined carbs and processed sugar. No alcohol.
Compare like for like, 30 year olds with 30 year olds. You will find modern humans fare far better.
Thatâs why we invented the combine harvester.
Whatâs this WE shit? 
In 1835, in the United States, Hiram Moore built and patented the first combine harvester, which was capable of reaping, threshing and winnowing cereal grain.
Interesting article. To me, even more interesting is this chart. 
Neanderthal bones show signs of injuries. Living in glacial Europe certainly wasnât a picnic everyday.
But they had signs of family bonds. They conducted rituals, sang songs and danced dances together. They buried their dead with dignity, like I mentioned earlier.
What kind of people tend to get ill? Those lonely and those who have nobody to turn to.
It is generally assumed that humanity âevolvedâ from primitive societies to advanced societies. Au contraire.
Agriculture is the rootcause of all evil.
Agriculture means more available food.
More food means population increase.
Population increase demands more agricultural work, irrigation, kingdoms, destruction of animal habitatâŚ
Ok, accepted, youâre a different species.

In the first sentence you call my qâs stupid.
Then you equate scuba diving with the moon landing?
But itâs me who asks stupid qâs??? are you serious?
Btw you havenât explained to us all how a pressurised cylinder can survive in a vacuum. Do you even know? coz I am waiting with bated breath for your answer?
The implication is that if you understand scuba diving (wherein breathable air is carried in a tank on the diverâs back enabling said diver to breathe in places where there is no other air to breathe) you should be able to understand that a space suit can contain a similar source of breathable gases.
Strength of materials determines the withstand capability of containers regarding pressure. Whether they are cylinders or spheres depends upon how much pressure differential they are required to withstand.
Spherical hollow containers are capable of withstanding immense pressure differentials. The thickness of the material as well as the method of its being formed determines the withstand capabilities regarding pressure.
Whether the pressure is greater or lesser on the inside makes little difference. A sphere is the strongest configuration (compared to cylinders, cubes, pyramids or any flat sided container) but cylinders work well also.
Higher pressure on the inside requires tensile strength. Higher pressure on the outside requires compressive strength.
Have you ever wondered why a diving bathysphere is spherical?

@asaratis do you know if re-breather technology was used in the space suits?
Ok, I donât have enough life left to write down everything I know. Therefore I recommend that you explore Wikipedia ⌠although that may not assuage your scepticism.
There are problems with the fact there are some staged pictures for press fodder. If you choose to use those as proof that some events never took place ⌠I cannot help you.
There are differences between the Russian space technology and American space technology. One is/was that cabin ecology is different. I say is/was because I am not sure what the current regime is. Back when Yuri Gagarin performed 3 orbits of the earth the Russians were using in-cabin atmosphere of approximately 50-50 nitrogen-oxygen. The Americans realised that weight could be saved in the infrastructure by using low pressure in-cabin atmosphere and therefore opted for a near 100% oxygen environment. The contingent effect of that was disaster.
Assuming a starting point of normal atmosphere, the effect of vacuum surrounding a pressurised body is to raise the apparent pressure inside that body by one-bar. The âscubaâ mention is because the âair bottlesâ air pressurised, maybe to 250-bar. They are routinely tested at an excess pressure to ensure that they are safe to continue using. The test pressure may be stamped on the cylinder, something like 350 bar.
So a fully pressurised cylinder, at 250-bar, placed into a vacuum would experience an apparent pressure increase of 1-bar. That would make the internal apparent pressure 251-bar ⌠well within the test pressure used to check the cylinder safety.
Whoever has been telling you that a vacuum would cause things to explode is feeding you BS.

I do not know. I would think so for two reasons; a) you wonât run out of oxygen, b) you donât have to carry bottled oxygen into space.
Edit: I found this. Evidently, they use both bottled oxygen and re-breathers.
The problem is not so much dietary fat, but fat in the pancreas that clogs up the beta cells. That is what leads to the insulin problem. Once the fat is removed from the pancreas, the beta cells return to their normal function. If you have that problem, removing dietary fat does not change the situation, since you can still gorge on carbs and protein, and youâll keep that fat around if youâre having a caloric surplus. People that are most prone to type 2 diabeetus are people who have belly fat. I have a theory that supplementing Yohimbine HCL might help, since itâs an antagonist, and actually targets areas of the body that are high in fat deposits. Whereas the other fat burning regimen of EC(A) (ephedrine, caffeine, and some use acetaminophen as well) targets fat in general throughout the body, so it might not be as effective.
Again, itâs just a theory. If I had type 2, and access to Yohimbine HCL, I would give it a shot. Unfortunately, I donât have da beetus, and YHCL is illegal in my country because my government is fucking dumb.
You mean fotrunately you donât have it.

Lol, I didnât know a bar was 100k N/m2. I thought it was some crappy imperial measurement left over from the olden days, which Yanks still use. 
Sometimes you remind me of Aunty Acid⌠sometimes.

Re-breather was developed during the war for underwater attack units requiring stealth. The WW2 kit used the same system, but more crude. A bag with a CO2 absorber and a small oxygen cylinder. The user had to replenish the oxygen level by adding gas to their system. It seems the space suit uses the same method, except it is automatically controlled.
it is approximately one atmospheric pressure, which makes it a convenient unit.
