In the nineteenth article, we discuss the last period of the Cenozoic Era- The Quaternary period. It is the period we currently live in and it's still ongoing.

Now that he's escaped his prison, the dragons will pay Eons ago, humanity punished Luc's people by banishing them to another realm. The demons adapted to their new world, changed their violent ways, and ditched their monstrous alter egos. They lived in peace and prosperity until the dragon mages joined them in exile and killed them to survive. Now there is only one demon left, and he's ready for revenge. Luc's plans to rule the world don't bother Elspeth in the least. A man should have a goal in life. As for his perpetual frown, she's determined to turn it upside down. All he needs is a great big hug, and if she's lucky he won't break like the other boys do. He might even be strong enough to handle her in bed. But first she's got to convince her king not to lynch him because apparently someone's been sucking the souls of dragons. If they're right, and Luc is to blame, then she might be next. Contains mature themes.

Populations of indigenous people in southern Africa carry a gene that causes lighter skin, and scientists have now identified the rapid evolution of this gene in recent human history. San man of Namibia [Credit: Ian Beatty/WikiCommons] The gene that causes lighter skin pigmentation, SLC24A5, was introduced from eastern African to southern African populations just 2,000 years ago. Strong positive selection caused this gene to rise in frequency among some KhoeSan populations. UC Davis anthropologist Brenna Henn and colleagues have shown that a gene for lighter skin spread rapidly among people in southern Africa in the last 2,000 years. This is a "rare example of intense, ongoing adaptation in recent human history and is the first known example of adaptive gene flow at a pigmentation locus in humans," according to the paper published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The findings are based on research by multiple scientists. The primary author, Meng Lin, conducted the research as a graduate student at Stony Brook University, working with anthropologist Brenna Henn, now of the University of California, Davis, Genome Center and Department of Anthropology. Lin is now a post-doctoral researcher in genetics at the University of Southern California. In previous work, the researchers looked at pigmentation variation in two KhoeSan populations from South Africa by performing a genome-wide association analysis in about 450 individuals. They followed up on the top associated gene, SLC24A5, by simulating population histories with and without positive selection. The DNA and pigmentation sampling took place in the Northern Cape of South Africa in the southern Kalahari Desert and Richtersveld regions. Gene plays a role in lighter skin pigmentation Individuals who carry two copies of the lighter pigmentation gene are 14 percent lighter-skinned than the population average, the researchers said. The gene SLC24A5 plays a key role in the genetic basis of light skin pigmentation. While light skin is often associated with European ancestry, even in South Africa, the present-day Khoekhoe and San did not experience enough recent migration to account for the frequency of the gene. Rather, strong positive selection during the past 2,000 years was the only way to explain the current distribution. The gene, which is also present in people from the Near East and eastern Africa, was probably initially brought into the region by only a small number of individuals. The actual source of the positive selection is not clear. The researchers theorize that a shift from consuming vitamin D-rich marine animals to consuming pasture animals, or a reduction in exposure to ultraviolent rays, might have changed skin pigmentation over time. "While the biological cause of the selective event merits further investigation, we have demonstrated an unusual rapid case of selection for lighter skin pigmentation based on a recently introduced allele less that 2,000 years ago, the first case of pigmentation adaptation from migration in humans," the paper concludes.

In the ‘40s, women were encouraged to use their hair to ‘fix’ any flaws in their face. If she had perfect, shiny hair with a good color, she should use it to frame her face. If she had a full face, she should use a 1940s hairstyle that piled hair on top of her head to

Stone Age people lived in the age before written history. The last section of the Stone Age is called "Neolithic." Neolithic people not only knew how to hunt and gather wild food. They kept herds of cattle amd also cultivated crops. This meant that they stayed in one place for much longer than their ancestors.

by Matias Flury (Author) The Uncensored Truth of Who We Are takes a deep dive into questions that have surrounded humanity's "true" history on Earth for eons. The Anatrium were an inner-council of Enlightened Masters that lived during the time of Atlantis. Because of this, they are able to provide a much broader overview of the inner-workings of life in Atlantis, in addition to our connection to the Star Beings, Ancient AI technology and the "real" cause of the flood that swallowed this advanced civilization so long ago. They are able to trace our origins back to the beginning and tell us exactly where we came from. This book covers many other intriguing and highly-debated topics such as the Annunaki and Thubanians (both from the Draco Constellation) and their influence on humanity as far back as 800,000 years ago, continuing through present times. The simple act of reading this book, erases detrimental programming which instilled inferiority complexes, unworthiness, fear, anger, sadness, etc., all of which were purposely placed by this invasive race in order to keep the human race subjugated and compliant. You will notice this book is structured a little differently than most. The book was designed so that the simple act of reading the words erases detrimental programming that previously instilled inferiority complexes, unworthiness, fear, anger, sadness, etc., all of which were purposely placed by this invasive ET race in order to keep the human race subjugated and compliant.This book uses zeros (0) and ones (1), in between each sentence to dismantle the debilitating programming, thus encoding powerful mantras of freedom and positive affirmations in binary format. As a result, this process transforms the quaternary and binary codes that are still present in our DNA. This method has been designed to cut the holographic chains that keep us bound and confined to the virtual prison of our programming. Read and break free!
