Snake Age of India at Buddha’s time


Snake Age of India at Buddha’s time

Told to me by a very knowledgeable guy.

It was called “Ahi Yuga” in a particular state, in Buddha’s time.

The snake charmers are called "Ahi Kuntakas".

They used to consume snakes as a delicacy.
A virus transmitted by these snakes killed almost all in every household and those affected were kept isolated in closed doors to die in agony.
Then Buddha had asked his followers to stop eating flesh of following ten animals (I am not sure of the original 10).

1. Snakes
2. Monkeys
3. Pigs
4. Dogs
5. Domestic cats
6. Tigers
9. Lions
10. Elephant meat
?
11. Bats
12. Toads
13. Turtles
14. Tortoises

(Mind the list would have been longer and fish was not included).

Now I can see why Chinese, Koreans and most of the Chinese stock deliberately stopped Buddhism spreading in their territories.
Now the WHO is ably helping China to come out clean on “Wild Animal Trade” globally.

WHO and CHINA'S Failure

WHO and CHINA'S Failure

The WHO has not pushed China on early missteps.
When cases of a mysterious viral pneumonia first appeared in Wuhan in December, Chinese health officials silenced whistleblowers and repeatedly played down the severity of the outbreak.
Even as late as mid-January, as the virus spread beyond China’s borders, Chinese officials described it as “preventable and controllable” and said there was no evidence it could be transmitted between humans on a broad scale.
The WHO endorsed the government’s claims, saying in mid-January, for example, that human-to-human transmission had not been proved.
Critics say the organization’s repeated deference to Beijing exacerbated the spread of the disease. A group of international experts was not allowed to visit Wuhan until mid-February.
“They could have been more forceful, especially in the initial stages in the crisis when there was a cover-up and there was inaction,” said Yanzhong Huang, a global health expert specializing in China at Seton Hall University.
Huang noted that during the SARS epidemic in 2002 and 2003, which killed more than 700 people worldwide, the WHO pushed the Chinese government to be more transparent by publicly criticizing it for trying to conceal the outbreak.
At one point during the SARS epidemic, officials at hospitals in Beijing forced SARS patients into ambulances and drove them around to avoid their being seen by a visiting delegation of WHO experts, according to reports at the time.
WHO officials were slow to declare a public health emergency, critics say.
Even as the virus spread to more than half a dozen countries and forced China to place parts of Hubei province under lockdown in late January, the WHO was reluctant to declare it a global health emergency.
WHO officials said at the time that a committee that discussed the epidemic was divided on the question of whether to call it an emergency but concluded that it was too early. One official added that they weighed the impact such a declaration might have on the people of China.
After the United States announced a ban on most foreign citizens who had recently visited China, the WHO again seemed to show deference to Chinese officials, saying that travel restrictions were unnecessary. The group officially called the spread of the coronavirus a pandemic March 11.
Some experts argue that the institution’s delay in making such declarations deprived other countries of valuable time to prepare hospitals for an influx of patients.
“It reinforced the reluctance to take early strong measures before the catastrophe had actually landed on other shores,” said François Godement, senior adviser for Asia at Institut Montaigne, a nonprofit group in Paris. “The WHO’s tardiness or reluctance to call out the problem in full helped those who wanted to delay difficult decisions."
The WHO defended its actions, saying Wednesday that it had “alerted member states to the significant risks and consequences of COVID-19 and provided them with a continuous flow of information” ever since Chinese officials first reported the outbreak Dec. 31.
Guterres of the United Nations said, “It is possible that the same facts have had different readings by different entities.” He added in his statement: “Once we have finally turned the page on this epidemic, there must be a time to look back fully to understand how such a disease emerged and spread its devastation so quickly across the globe and how all those involved reacted to the crisis.”
China’s influence at the WHO is growing.
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has made it a priority to strengthen Beijing’s clout at international institutions, including the WHO, seeing the U.S.-dominated global order as an impediment to his country’s rise as a superpower.
China contributes only a small fraction of the WHO’s $6 billion budget, while the United States is one of its main benefactors. But in recent years, Beijing has worked in other ways to expand its influence at the organization.
The government has lobbied the WHO to promote traditional Chinese medicine, which Xi has worked to harness as a source of national pride and deployed as a soft-power tool in developing countries, despite skepticism from some scientists about its effectiveness.
Last year, the WHO offered an endorsement of traditional Chinese medicine, including it in its influential medical compendium. The move was roundly criticized by animal welfare activists, who argued that it could contribute to a surge in illegal trafficking of wildlife whose parts are used in Chinese remedies.
China has sought to promote traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of symptoms of the coronavirus both at home and abroad. Last month, the WHO was criticized after it removed a warning against taking traditional herbal remedies to treat the coronavirus from its websites in mainland China.
China’s role at the WHO will probably continue to grow in the coming years, especially if Western governments retreat from the organization, as Trump has threatened.
“This is part of China’s efforts to more actively engage in international institutions,” said Huang, the global health expert. “It will not please every country or every actor, but it’s going to affect the agenda of the WHO.”

Tuberculosis and BCG vaccination.


Tuberculosis and BCG vaccination

My advice as a pathologist is that the TB vaccination (BCG) should be given at birth.

Furthermore, Mantoux test should be done before adolescent are vaccinated.

There were only two in our class (I was one and the other was Donald, Jaffna Tamil, my best friend) who were Mantoux negative out of over 50).

Only two of us got the BCG vaccination.


In other word 95% were exposed to TB as a Child (they should not be vaccinated to avoid reactivation of OLD TB).

This is true in India and Africa.

Then there is also Atypical or Anonymous Tuberculosis (PHD thesis of one of my teachers was not validated by the crooked supervising committee.in Peradeniya, fearing one may not get a chance to go abroad for higher studies).

Local degrees were considered inferior.
 
So annoyed my teacher gave up local research and ended up in Australia as a GP.

He had five children and all of them are doing well in many fields abroad.

So I decided to do my research in this country well past 50 yeas (my thesis) and part of the good quality data, I never gave to the University but used as my base for three books published at Amazon.)

By the way, I used five times the university contribution from my own pocket.
The money allocated was meager.

Coming to TB vaccination (polybacterial and polyvalent) as a whole there are lot of antigenic particles that activate lymphocytes and later taken up by the macrophages for intracellular digestion.

What it signals is that the macrophage has a non spcific receptor on its surface to bind coated Coronavirus (not RNA particles).

One should identify this receptor in any new protocol.

Good, Bad and The Ugly

Good, Bad and The Ugly

The Coronavirus has good and the bad of us in one go.

Good think about it is, that we eat what we have not what we wished to have eaten.

For me all the collections of chocolates are over.

The Fruit and Nut ice cream I finished a month earlier.

Stopped alcohol totally due to the Tax Imposition by previous government.

Previous government lost due to this single tragedy.

This government will lose due to banning foreign alcohol and increase in illegal alcohol production and price.

Also they did not lower the price of alcohol and the price of Petrol and Diesel that plummeted due to Saudi action on Russians was a non event for us.

That low price is completely put under the carpet for now.

I have few friends who will definitely vote against who love alcohol as a way of life.

My advice for them to drink “Dasa-Mula-Aristaya” our high priests consume before a sermon and its alcohol content is over Vodka by many a mile.

I am currently preparing a list of 10 locally available (some may have to be imported like “Weniwel”) medicinal plants to be added to “Dasa-Mula-Aristaya” as our export quality local production with the help of “Siddha Lepa Veda Mahattaya” of old.

Bad things are the local “Paraya” dogs are hovering all over looking for food in desperation.

We do not have any food left to feed them like sprats and dry fish!

It was not my gut feeling, not to have another dog after our loving one's demise.

But I continued to feed the “Paraya Dogs” in plenty but never allowed them to follow me to home.

If I did NOW is the time for me to have a heart attack.

Now they call the “Politicians Paraya” after not having got a payment or have to pay the “Give Away Money” in installments over two years with six months grace period.

As for the birds including lovely parrots and Ceylon Oriole come daily to feed on mulberry (Ambul Ambili- found the Sinhala name while searching for medicinal plants) fruits and the “Honey Birds” feed on the three flowering plants.

Magpie and Bullbul started devouring and gorging on the guppy fish in style, I moved them to the big fish tank in panic state.

Now all the water lilies have large leaves giving them cover from the predators.

A Bullbul pair made a nest over the pond and I made it sure I spray enough water over them while watering the tall bamboo trees covering the edge.

They decided not to lay eggs.

As for the rooftop garden there are no restrictions and they can feed and drink and make even nests, if they so desire.

The black bees have a colony and they feed on the lily flower pollen.

It takes solid three hours for me to water the plants and fill the containers (drying up in hot sun).

On an economy note, I decided to feed the fish only twice a week since my last packet of fish food is going down fast.
They have to survive on diatoms and algae and the population control is on the card and birds doing it in style.
The bat who decided to make a home did not find a partner and never came back with Coronavirus as a treat for the New Year.

My Thoughts on Coronavirus


My Thoughts on Coronavirus


Coronavirus coated particles are ONLY 120 nanometers.

It behaves like a enterovirus with hepatic phase before the respiratory complications (pneumonia)

Its asymmetric SINGLE RNA particles are much smaller and can assemble the infectivity and virulence even after one year (my belief) lay off.

In EVOLUTION RNA lasted pretty obstacles much better than DNA (double strand).

This EPIDEMIC is clearly lasts at lest two years.

1918-1919 Flu is the tell tale evidence but this is much better oriented to cause HAVOC.

I am not paranoid in this assessment.

Facemask has no place (smal viral RNA partcles can penetrate) but HAND WASHING several times a day is VITAL with or without soap.

Clean water is OUR current GOD.

Do not pollute with CHEMICAL HAZARDS (what they are spraying liberally now).

A Single Virus and a Humble Animal Send the Whole World into Lockdown

Reproduction

The author was our president for two terms, who retired gracefully from politics.

A Single Virus and a Humble Animal Send the Whole World into Lockdown



By Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga
The world has been attacked by the most widely spread pandemic the world has ever experienced.  It has had seismic effects on the entire world – almost no country has been spared from its terrifying repercussions.
We humans prided ourselves that we had conquered Mother Nature.  We indiscriminately destroyed her bountiful forests, thereby destroying large numbers of wild life or creating unnatural conditions in which humans were called upon to live in close proximity with wild animals.  We heartlessly polluted her rivers. Lakes and seas and the air that we breathe in the name of increased GDP and economic growth rates, regardless of the long-term dangers of all living beings.
We now find that we are knocked senseless by one single virus carried to us by a humble bat.  The entire world has been forced into lock-down.  We are only beginning to comprehend the possible outcome of this global viral attack on the national and global economy.  Not only would we have to re-think the whole paradigm of development, our concept of life and how we live it will change radically.
National Governments are acting individually in heroic attempts to contain the spread of the disease.  International and regional organisations too have gone into lockdown mode themselves, due perhaps to the unpreparedness of these organisaions for the present situation.  Nobody seems to have imagined that the shock and awe attack by a single virus could create such havoc, at such an unimaginable scale as the Corona Covid-19 virus has done.
The response of global and regional organisations has disappointed a lot of us, who believe in the necessity and power of international organisations to deal with issues that affect many or all countries of the world, by their very composition and objectives which we believe are to bring the world together in joint action, in times of peace and also when urgent action is required when emergencies arise.  We are disappointed that the global and regional organisations appear to be inept to deal with the present emergency.
It is evident that the first thing to do in this emergency is to control the spread of the disease, while medically caring for those who are infected by it.  I would call this, dealing with the result of a deep and serious problem.
It would be most constructive to study the origins of the problem – how and from where the present Covid virus came to infect the human being.
Innumerable theses are being expounded presently about the origins ohe virus, the manner in which it spread, and so on.  Even conspiracy theories are being circulated widely through social media.  At this time it is essential to base our understanding and explanations on established scientific facts and not various bits of somebody’s vivid imagination.  We must inquire if the theories that are put forward to us have any solid scientific basis.  If not, believing all this nonsense could lead to diverse political and human conflicts.
Serious research has demonstrated that as far back as 13 years ago in 2007, academics have raised alarm with regard to “wet markets” and the indiscriminate consumption of wild life in China, the Far East and countries in South America, as well as in many other countries worldwide.  Several papers by Chinese academic Cheng and others in their Paper written in 2007, gives a clear warning :
"Coronaviruses are well known to undergo genetic recombination, which may lead to new genotypes and outbreaks. The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored."
Then Yi Fan and others in a Paper published in 2019 give an ominous prediction:
"Thus, it is highly likely that future SARS- or MERS-like coronavirus out​breaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China."
Scientists at the forefront of infectious disease surveillance and research and epidemiologists have been warning their Governments and the whole world about the imminent danger of consuming wild animals as food.  It is unforgivable that the relative Governments, as well as international organisations, took no notice of this.
We are aware that the illegal international wildlife trade and the wet market trade of wild animals earns the Chinese economy as much as US$ 74 Billion per annum.  The short and medium term cost to Governments by the Covid 19 pandemic will likely be much more than fifty-fold of that value.
Didier Sicard, a French specialist of infectious diseases, working at the Institut Pasteur in Laos has noted that bats have harboured the Corona virus in their bodies since millions of years and can, in certain circumstances, disperse them to humans and other animals.  The destruction of virgin forests in Laos, for instance, has rendered it possible for bats, which normally live deep in the forests and caves, to begin to live close to human habitation and hence open up the flood-gates to spread the infection.  In this epidemic we know how dangerous contact could prove for the spread of the virus.
We are aware that the starting point of this pandemic is a public “wet market” in Wuhan where wild animals such as serpents, bats and others are kept crowded in cane baskets.  These animals are bought and consumed as delicacies.  This market is known to be crowded with animals and human beings and is not famous for its levels of cleanliness.  Hence, infected animals would have infected other animals, which in turn would have infected people.
In a seminal article written by Tara Schlegel,* she expresses surprise that our countries seem to be mainly interested in producing vaccines, treatments and re-animation which is admittedly the immediate requirement, but shows little or no interest with regard to the cause and the origins of the virus.  The problem is further compounded by our knowledge that wild animals are effectively at the origin of a large number of epidemics since the beginning of time – the Plague, HIV, bird flu, Ebola are some recent examples.  
It is said that bats carry some 30-odd corona-type viruses.  
Snakes of all types live in the same caves and forests inhabited by bats.  When bats die in their caves they are eaten by serpents, which thereby become infected by the virus.  It is also thoughts that other animals/insects such as ants could be infected.  All this makes it evident that extensive research needs to be undertaken to study the entire chain of contamination caused by the bats.
The study of the relationship between the Covid-9 carrying bats and their contamination of serpents, in addition to ants and other animals which live in close proximity of the serpents, and how they could infect humans becomes essential if we are to understand how humans contract the virus and how we could control the spread of it.
The accelerated destruction of forest cover in Indo-China and China could be a certain cause of bringing human habitation unnaturally close to that of wild animals and thereby promoting the propagation of various diseases, including the Covid Virus.

URGENT GLOBAL ACTION REQUIRED
1.    Global action appears essential for joint programmes of research to study the origins and the chain of transmission of the virus, about which I have given details above.  This implies in-depth study of the animals which transmit this virus.  It would also imply the study of other animals such as rats, which are known to transmit the bacteria that causes plague.
*Tara Schlegel, Radio France.
2.    International action to bring laws to forbid national and international trade in wild animals and the total ban of “wet markets” in every country of the world.  It may become necessary to create International/Regional institutions to monitor the implementation of these laws, with independent inspectors to survey the implementation at local level.
3.    To promote close and effective co-operation between Governments under the aegis of International Organisations such as the UNO and regional  organizations and the WHO, for the development of medical treatment, preventive vaccines, etc. to fight the covid-19 virus.  The WHO will have to re-structure itself to meet the present emergency, as well as other similar health emergencies which seem imminent in our world today.
To achieve this, it is proposed that an international meeting of a selected number of former and present leaders of Government, together with experts, be summoned without delay, with the objective of formulating policies and a programme of action.  This process could be co-ordinated and/or led by the UNO.

Protocols and Validity


Protocols and Validity

All large gatherings should be prohibited by common law!

This piece is bit scrappy but please bear with me.

It is blunt and first of all a tribute to Late Arthur C. Clerk who predicted that all the religions will disappear from this planet in the distant future and there will be a long period of prosperity in this world without war or conflicts.

I add that this message had been delivered by a consortium of aliens who visited the earth and imparted wisdom without war and religion in 1940s.

It is believed that aliens do visited us to warn the danger of nuclear bomb but (Roswell Incident) American Super Cult (CIA helping them) incarcerated them and prevented the truth been assimilated by the general masses ably assisted by the Church by suppression the truth.

To begin there is No God who supervise this world.

It is the biggest lie of all and all the religions superimposed many other lies on top of it.

So instead of truth the lies spread by all religions took hold of this world.

Now it is a tiny virus (I will talk about the virus a little later) that is taking this message of “do not believe in existing god” forward.

One has to remind that in Italy which practice commune and sharing Sunday mass wine and bread (Sacramental wine, Communion wine, or altar wine is wine obtained from grapes and intended for use in celebration of the Eucharist -also referred to as the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, among other names. It is usually consumed after the mass without disinfecting the ingredients) that this virus did spread fast.

That is how it did spread in Italy.
A similar spread happens in mosques in Iran and Ceylon.

It is mandatory to stop all religious observations in places of worship that include Buddhist temples where the virus can remain intact in the Pirith Nulas or sacred thread.

The common law should prevail and all religious laws or practices should be suspended indefinitely.

The virus has no boundaries.

This virus can remain inactive long periods in the absence of living material and still retain the ability to infect the appropriate type of cell.

They have been described as genetic material in search of a cell to infect and reproduce!

So arm bands, Pirith Nules and rings studded with sacred jewels the politicians wear (that they say had been blessed by Indian Gods are teeming with these viruses) are potential carriers of this virus.

Do not shake hand these guys wearing an assortment of blessed gear in their hands.

There hands are poisonous and as bad as this deadly virus.

Do not warship them kneeling down!

Easter celebrations and New Year Celebrations should be done away with.

Do not get our children (Prime Minister Neru resisted this very much) to kneel down in front of the elders before starting new year celebrations.
I never did in my late teens.
Age (especially advancing) is only a number and has no validity or qualification to get preferential treatment (except medical care for the infirm) including kneeling down in front of them.

So say Ayubovan” from a distance with Ceylonese traditional greeting and say we do not want another election until this epidemic is over.

May be a year or two in my estimate, if we do not practice 100% physical distancing.

80% is an arbitrary and the rest 20% could be exposed to the virus in no time including medical workers, volunteer workers, police and armed forces.
The arm forces and police deserve a rest and total lock down for them to have a break is a vital ingredient in the current management.
I am not sure of the effect of disinfectant over time.
They will kill almost all the disease causing bacteria but the viral RNAs are very resistant to even to alcohol solutions or UV light.
The surfaces cleaned by them should be examined electron microscopically for RNA remnants to establish the potency of the disinfectants.
My gut feeling is many of them in current use will fail the electron microscope test.
Additionally bacteria will acquire resistant and emergence of virulent mycotic elements a distant possibility and this RNA polymerase will have the last laugh.

In other words what ever we do should have scientific reasoning, basis and validity in front line.

Now coming to the virus in history.
1918 epidemic lasted till 1919 even without primitive global travel.
It started from pigs or swine.

This is why Jews and Muslims do not eat pigs but devour all other meats.

I think it spread during war (horse flu) times by horses.

Then it started appearing in chickens in China (Chicken Flu or China Flu).

Now this time it is from bats and that is why it is so recalcitrant and deadly (bat is a mammal).

All the types of Influenza viruses originated from animals and eating meats predisposes to infection including Mad Cow Disease.

So become a vegetarian at least in your old age.

Mitochondrial Genetics


The ten mysteries that I have not yet worked out.

The greatest mystery is the origin of the first successful cell with the union of prokaryotic bacteria (mitochndria within a cell without a cellwall) and cellular DNA to form an Eukaryotic cell.

My Mysteries

1. Origin of Zero

2. Origin of Dogs from the Wild

3. Sex differentiation in cells

4. Matter and antimatter

5. Levo-rotation of molecules

6. Superconductivity at absolute zero temperature

7. Left and right orientation of brain

8. Origin of language

9. Proton spin

10 Viral flu


Please note there was no need in or recognition of religion in the list of 10 above.


Mitochondrial Genetics

Non Mendelian genetics, the law of absence of segregation

Mitochondria contain 37 genes

Copies as mini chromosomes.
Several copies of mini chromosomes.

Maternally inherited

Paternal mitochondria selectively destroyed in early development.

Mitochondrial DNA does not cross over.
Mitochondrial DNA does not have repair enzymes.
Mitochondrial DNA does not mutate faster.
Free radicals in mitochondria damages DNA.
No histone proteins.
No introns.
Many mitochondria

37 genes.

22 transfer RNAs

13 genes that encodes for proteins that functions in cellular respiration.

Mitochondrial replication occurs with the participation of the nuclear genes

Mitochondria cannot be grown without cell infrastructure (Symbiotic becoming completely parasitic)

Some of the mitochondrial DNA has become translocated into the chromosomal DNA in evolution.

Mitochondrial ribosomal RNA is more similar to prokatotic ribosomal RNA
Sensitive to streptomycin/chromphenicol antibiotics
Inhibit their functions

Strong support for symbiotic origin of mitochondria

Lynn Marguiles (who committed suicide, is in my memory -needs confirmation)


Diseases first recognized in 1962.
Mitochondrial myopathies.

Some of the mitochondrial DNA has become translocated into the chromosomal DNA in evolution.

Oxidative phosphorylation requires at least 69 polypeptides
13 = 1 cytochrome b
2 ATPases subunits
3 cytochrome c oxidases
7 subunits of NADH dehydrogenases

Mitochondrial ribosomal RNA is more similar to prokatotic ribosomal RNA
Sensitive to streptomycin/chromphenicol antibiotics
Inhibit their functions
Strong support for symbiotic origin of mitochondria

Lynn Marguiles (who committed suicide, is in my memory -needs confirmation)

Exception is yeast
Yeast mitochondria are 5 times larger and have introns
These genes probably arise from nude DNA and later captured by mitochondria


Human Genetics by Ricki Lewis
Aging page 66 to 69

Aging begins at conception.

Age 30 seems to be the turning point of decline.

Individuals are functionally less efficient 0.8% each year

Death rate rapidly begin to increase after puberty
Log scale Gompertz plotting

Strait line from 15 to 90 years

Death rate doubles every 8 years

Fibroblast Aging
Telomere depletion hypothesis
Iso base pair position of the telemere cap is lost in each subsequent division
Cancer cells appear to avoid telemere shortening
Capping done by the enzyme telemerase
Telemerese is arrested but the results unequivocal
Only 20 cell generations were added.
It is strange all cells of living beings last only 50 cell cycles.
In human 42 to 45 are finished by puberty and we have 5 cell cycles to live after puberty.
This is universal in all larges animals but the inter-phase between cell cycles determine the life span of any individual.
Why this is finite is unknown.

Wear and Tear Hypothesis
Collagen and elastic fibers
Aging cells accumulate damage (DNA repair is defective)
Free radical damage
Non enzymatic process called glycation

Gene Clock Hypothesis
Centerarie
Werner Syndrome
Premature aging plus cancer
Defect in helicase enzyme involved in DNA repair.
Helicase enzyme is necessary to unwind the DNA double helix whenever DNA has to be replicated, repair or translocated.
Indy-I am not dead yest
37 days to 70 years.

Centenarians
Single gene implicated
Affects
1. Insulin secretion and glucose metabolism
2. Immune System
3. Cell Cycle
4. Lipid Metabolism HDL
5. Response to stress
6. Production of anticoagulant enzymes


In other words, the older one gets, the healthier one becomes.

This why I say, if one could pass 65 years without disease or drugs, it is hard to kill one (only by medical misadventure or Coronavirus or both).

The Key Evolutionary Biomarker is Mitochondrial DNA


The Key Evolutionary Biomarker is Mitochondrial DNA

I always believed what I was taught in physics and biology as a kid that continued in the university was bull shit and it is true in America at this moment of Trump’s antics on education.

Trump fears true education will come to America and destroys capitalism and the puritan religious dogma.

This entry probably summarizes the key points in evolution on this planet.

The global picture is more important than the specific events or specific informational facts.

It is the Mitochondia that determines the big events in the evolution.

Symbiosis was the key element (prokaryotes became symbiotic and much later became mitochondria) in early evolution of life and natural selection and adaptation of Darwin Theory was much later event.

Mitochnrial DNA is truly maternal and need for paternal mitochondria was not (sex was not a necessary ingredient) worth its mettle.

The mitochndria are remarkably resistant to frequent mutations and they occur in 3 to 5 million cycles.

When the last occurred, the homosapiens started appearing on this planet well after the last major meteorite fall.

The next meteorite fall is due in 16 million years from now and there could be 3 to 5 chances of major mitochondrial events with possible mutations before the NEXT meteorite devastation would change biological events.

What these changes would bring to human evolution is only a conjecture but humans as we see now will be well gone by then by his inability to sustain or control his/her craving and selfish desires.

Man will destroy himself and viral contribution to his demise is not a natural event but artificially created event in a genetic laboratory more likely in the East (China) than in the West.

His desire to develop biological weapons and create a super elite civilization by eliminating the vast masses by viral technology which started in America has slipped to the Asian region inadvertently.

Remember Sadam Hussein and he worked in such a facility in America and was eliminated (he never did develop biological weapon) by design.

Even U.K was/is doing similar experiments blaming only Russia for using Plutonium for espionage is only the tip of the iceberg.

I am told Russia has a robust biological program well in advance.

This is why I am against the Genomic Project by Craig Ventor and many others in the world currently.

Natural events should happen naturally and not in a genetic laboratory!
