Viral Pandemics as Cro-Magnon Homo SapienNeanderthal Conflict

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the impact of climate change on human evolution, particularly the emergence of a neanderthalised version of humanity during the ice age and its potential continuation during global warming. It delves into the matrilineal traits of modern societies linked to Neanderthals and highlights the differing vulnerabilities of Homo neanderthalis and Homo sapiens to diseases. The story suggests that Neanderthals, through archaeal endosymbiosis, may generate new viruses that threaten Homo sapiens, underscoring a perpetual conflict between the two species.
