Hi. Another controversial example of strong continuous changing, complex,
evolutionary-pressure-condition exerting a force stimulating certain aspects of
the evolution of a natural-population of organism-species through the mutation
of certain genes to generate new genetic-information-material / alleles
for purposes of clearing genetic-anatomic-constraints that inhibit or bar
the path to the effectiveness of natural-selection of optimized, cutting-edge, upgraded,
better-suited, genetically-expressed phenotype-traits of
beneficial-alleles that provide the organism-species with selective, reproductive,
survival-fitness performance-adaptive-values enabling them to settle down in
competition-struggle survival-for-the-fittest and successfully thrive into the
next descending generation is the EMERGENCE OF THE GRADUAL-INCREASED-IMPORTANCE
OF COLOR-VISION IN HUMANS rather than the SENSE-OF-SMELL or OLFACTION essential
for other animals in AVOIDING-PREDATORS and/or PURSUING-HUNTING PREY; and which
arose in the first place due to the significant anatomical-evolution of
BIPEDALISM and its ERECT-POSTURE as the BASIC-ADAPTATION-of-THE-HOMININ LINEAGE
given the reason that it used less energy than QUADRUPEDAL-KNUCKLE-WALKING as
an adaptation to TERRESTRIAL-LIVING in the new ‘GRASSLAND-TYPE-ENVIRONMENT’
RATHER THAN THE PREVIOUS ‘ARBOREAL-FOREST-TYPE’, i.e. besides the selective,
reproductive, survival-fitness performance-adaptive-value it facilitates of
ENHANCING-THE-FIELD-of-VISION.
In other words, the evolution of bipedalism as the basic adaptation of the
hominin lineage anatomically has been accompanied by a large number of
skeletal-adaptive-evolutions as partly described in preceding blogs above in
relation to the adopted erect-posture basing physiological-and-behavioral
adaptations / changes that followed suit since the splitting-branching and
diverging between the last-common-shared-ancestor of humans-and-chimps
common/shared in all bipedal-hominins including the increased importance /
reliance on vision rather than smell due to accumulation of gene-loss
inactivation-mutation duplications of the OLFACTORY-RECEPTOR-GENE-FAMILY- genes
turning a whopping 60%-fraction into PSEUDO-GENES and thus rendering this
sense-of-smell or olfaction in humans to become vestigial though the
corresponding homologous physiological-behavior of olfaction functions normally
in other species indicating GENETIC-MEMORY-in-MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY-INHERITANCE and
COMMON-DESCENT-TRAIT-INHERITANCE, i.e. from a SHARED-ORIGIN / COMMON-ANCESTOR;
except for the clade of ‘NIGHT-RUNNING NAKED-WITCHES’ anatomically-modern-human
Homo sapiens sapiens species who still retrain this ability for a STRONGER
MORE-ACUTE SENSE-of-SMELL / OLFACTION; though it’s kinda FACULTATIVE since they
use or switch-it on at night when they come out to play [ called TUGO in
Luo ] and it can as well be transmitted to new-comer unsuspecting spouses
through established cultural-transmission-models and thus as a LEARNED-BEHAVIOR
it is ACQUIRED through descending-generations in secret………….and as such it
significantly contributes to taxonomic-diversity / species-internal-variation
within the Homo sapiens species!
The time the hominin-lineage was taking-in BIPEDALISM as its BASIC-ADAPTATION
is the same time them KNUCKLE-WALKERS including gorillas-and-chimps split, branched,
diverged, separated and isolated from the last-common-shared-ancestor with us
hominins of the genus-Homo between 13-and-7m.y.a and 7-and-4.8m.y.a respectively
and effectively resulting into between 80-and-86 genes getting lost in the
human-lineage [ through accumulation of gene-loss inactivation-mutation
duplications which’s part of the evolutionary-adaptive mechanisms that render a
gene to be naturally selected-against should it’s function be substituted-for
in a specific way, ] during our recent uniform-evolution as
anatomically-modern-human Homo sapiens sapiens species natural-population of
organism-species explaining our 99.9% genetic-homogeneity and thus
contributing largely to the observable/measurable/ testable DISTINCT
PHENOTYPE-TRAIT VARIATION/DIFFERENCE of CRUDE-OLFACTION / SENSE-of-SMELL
between humans-and-chimps plus other animals at large primarily as a result of
small groups of EARLY-BIPEDAL-APES a.k.a. PROTO-HUMANS moving into the
new ‘grassland-type of habitat-environment’ as an adaptation-to-terrestrial-living……….to
subsequently develop the new adaptive-evolutionary HERITABLE phenotype-trait of
COLOR-VISION vis-à-vis a CRUDE SENSE-of-SMELL / OLFACTION as they adjusted to
the new, complex, changed, habitat-environment evolutionary-pressure-condition
even as genetic-nature-potential interacted with
environmental-nurture-potential outta the struggle-competition
survival-for-the-fittest necessities for phenotype-traits that provide an
organism-species with selective, reproductive, survival-fitness
performance-adaptive-values enabling them to EVOLVE INTO NEW-FORMS
BETTER-SUITED to settle-down and thrive-successfully as one
ancestral-hominid-fossil-species descended into the next-generation
circumnavigating extinction!
Thirty-six of the between 80-and-86 lost-genes belonged to the
OLFACTORY-RECEPTOR-GENE-FAMILY of which more than 60% [ 22] OF THESE
36-O.R.G.F. genes are NON-FUNCTIONAL PSEUDOGENES in the HUMAN-GENOME defined as
inactive copies of protein-coding DNA-genes OFTEN GENERATED BY
GENE-DUPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL through the accumulation of
gene-loss inactivation mutations which in other words is equivalent to LOOSING-GENES.
This infers that anatomically-modern-humans have undergone a whopping 60%
extraordinary loss of O.R.G.F. genes [ 22 ] during our recent uniform evolution
as a natural-population of organism-species which genetically explains our
relatively LESS-ACUTE SENSE-of-OLFACTION / SMELL comparatively to most other
animals or non-human-hominid-primates at least; a fact supported by
evolutionary-evidence which indicates that the EMERGENCE –f COLOR-VISION in
HUMANS diminished the need for the MORE-ACUTE SENSE-of-OLFACTION / SMELL which
was a genetic adaptive-evolution CONSTRAINT to the now BIPEDAL HUMAN-HOMINID,
inhibiting or barring the path to the effectiveness of NATURAL-SELECTION of the
better-suited, optimized, upgraded, cutting-edge, distinct phenotype-trait of
COLOR-VISION. Period!
Now, here’s the PARADOX. Remember the
British folk-tale ‘ JACK-and-THE-BEANSTALK?’; where some mysterious bean stalks
its growth all the way up to the skies or the heavens if you like …….and have
one JACK climb it all the way whenst on reaching the heavens he comes across a
giant’s-palace whose treasure is a goose that lays golden-eggs worth fortunes
back on planet-earth / animal-kingdom and before JACK satisfy’s his eyes with
the wonders of the giant’s land up above, the double-Goliath in size
giant-prototype comes knocking and his merciful wife hides minuscule JACK in
one of the kitchen cupboards but to no avail cause the giant still gets to
CATCH-WHIFFS of THE STRANGE HUMAN’s-SMELL across the room and much as he queries
his wife, she doesn’t tell and instead finds / creates excuses and saves the
poor minuscule, human’s life. It’s of course the MORE-ACUTE SENSE-of-OLFACTION
/ SMELL of the giant that SNIFFS-OUT the MINUSCULE HUMAN DEEP FROM behind its
hiding place in the kitchen cupboard majorly cause of the ‘SPECIES-SPECIFIC’
HUMAN-BLOOD PUMPING through its veins carried in the wind through diffusion and
largely as well due to the ‘SPECIES-SPECIFIC’ BIOCHEMICAL-and-BIO-ELECTRICAL
PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS-FUNCTIONS emanating from its ORIFICES.
Now, the PARADOX is the supposed VESTIGIAL MORE-ACUTE and STRONGER
SENSE-of-OLFACTION / SMELL apparent in the giant above is STILL EXTANT-and-ALIVE in some members of the Homo-genus extant
anatomically-modern-human Homo-sapiens-sapiens species which may be explained
by ‘species-internal-variation / taxonomic-diversity’ and / or
‘ARCHAIC-ADMIXTURES / DERIVED-TRAITS’ or both; e.g. The FORE-CANNIBAL
TRIBES PEOPLE of PAPUA-NEW-GUINEA who are on record for running down a mortuary
when their NOSTRILS-and-TASTE BUDS couldn’t hold the yearning anymore for their
customary human-flesh meat-feast; and proceeding forth to feast on the corpses
raw without bothering for fire. Now one can jus’ imagine how STRONG and
MORE-ACUTE their SENSE-of-OLAFACTION / SMELL is….to be capable of smelling the
DEEP FROZEN UNDECOMPOSING CORPSES in the morgue.
And then we got the
customary ‘NIGHT-RUNNING NAKED-WITCHES’ called ‘JOJUOGI
PITI-PATA’ in Luo to mimic the sound of
running feet in the deep silence of the night. They are known to posses supernatural
powers such that they psychically will put-off a torch’s-bulb and render its
batteries powerless immediately should they be confronted by an ordinary human
being who with a torch may want to switch and zoom it on them ;and even if they
be armed by say a machete, the naked night-runner would still psychically usurp
their physical-energies such that they wouldn’t have an ounce-of-energy to even
lift the weapon to their enemy finding their arms dropping to their sides instead
in sudden fatigue! Now, here’s the catch. The known and established antidote for
trapping-and-catching such a terrifying naked night-runner is to eat cold-foods
the whole day from morn. to night so as to stop the bio-electrical-and-biochemical physiological process-functions of the body from being
diffused into the wind / air through the pumping blood via the body’s orifices
which in turn will effectively cut-short any chances of being
SNIFFED-or-SMELLED by the MORE-ACUTE and STRONGER SENSE-of-SMELL or OLFACTION
of the JAJUOG PITI-PATA. Their RUNNING NAKED at NIGHT is inherently neurotic jus’
like the FORE TRIBE’s CANNIBALISM. Period. Thus, the apparently vestigial
MORE-ACUTE and STRONGER SENSE-of-OLFACTION or SMELL in extant
anatomically-modern-human Homo sapien sapiens species is still RETAINED by
some members of our extant anatomically-modern-human Homo sapiens sapiens
species to the same homologous corresponding degree / level / notch in other
non-human-hominid-primates and animals in general at large; a phenomenon
denoting genetic-memory in
molecular-biology-inheritance and common-descent trait-inheritance as far as
ARCHAIC-ADMIXTURES and DERIVED-TRAITS go respectively as concerns our animal heritage. Period; based on evolution by
natural-selection through adaptive radiation from a primordial /primeval
common-ancestor / shared-origins.
So let us face the stark-naked truth
of our animal-heritage, embrace the reality and create a WORLD-HUMAN-EVOLUTION
DAY to be celebrated say on a specific day of a particular month. And well, it’s
a high time men-of-the-cloth came out to register with their respective
revenue-authorities for tax-returns of the religious bodies / institutions they
run and stopped hiding behind the cloaks of mystified, mythological, superstitious,
fallacious religions’ dooms’-days’ evolutionarily recognized as extinction
events. Later, logistics.
