Ancient Life

dont be a wuss, you need the vitamin D for your health

When I worked at the apartments I noticed that the old folks stayed indoors practically 24/7, not getting sun or a good walk. I promised I would never get like that. I find stuff to do every day. Not always of my choosing. Today I had to clean the A/C indoor coils, plus repair a plumbing leak. There is still lots of daylight left after lunch.

Can you tell me what you have learned in this your thread, in particular in re:

Do you mean by life forms, like amoeba, Covid-19 (life form?), and you and me?

You mean biological life forms?

What about life form as intelligent entity in existence even though not human - even though not biological, what do you say about that?

I have time on my hands, and I love to talk with anyone who is interested in exchange of thoughts, so that I can learn something from him, and I love to share also something with him.

Let me see if you and I can talk, okay, so that you will wait for my reply to your latest message, and I yours - when we have nothing else to occupy our time.

So, I am waiting with bated breath to hear i.e. read from you.

Pretty sure Edgar subscribes to the theory that there ain’t no other kind.
I’m not in that camp; so what other Lifeforms have you encountered?

NEANDERTHAL BLOOD STUDY HINTS AT ONE POSSIBLE REASON THEY WENT EXTINCT

very interesting findings and a possible conclusion. Were the conclusion a fact indisputably it would make the ID argument rather difficult to retain the "I" sinc the IDer would be busy repairing the damage it inflicted genetically.


Im more amazed at all these new"proxy" tests that keep arising in biology, now have a hemolytics test of diseases of newborn and young that , possibly due to organ failures are almost always fatal.

Dinosaur tracks

That is so cool! Can't wait to see photos.

That is really cool, too. Love this thread!

I bet if they look close enough they will find Fred Flintstone's tracks.

This one's not as ancient as some I've presented.

Thanks for sharing. That one blew me away. I had no idea about the impact of the discovery and what was possible technologically in Ancient Greek times. I wonder how they could machine those tolerances of the millimeter sized gears .

I remember seeing something like that, it was quite incredible.

One theory is that slavery stopped an industrial revolution from happening.

There's no incentive to create machines to carry out tasks because forced, unpaid labour is cheap enough,

The cotton gin was invented in 1793.

After Watt invented the steam engine.

There was no slavery in Britain the industrial revolution started here.
