The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health and Disease

[@thankmelater1254]

Good to listen to Professor Anton once again.

[@CoreyAnton]

Thanks

I liked the way you tied that all up with causality and conscious intention. Another way perhaps of describing is asking whether or not we are passive or active agents in our physical being. Anyway, in the era of Covid19 your message is bang on.

[@CoreyAnton]

Thanks!

[@vishantiyoga]

Feel so happy to listen. Is always nutritious

[@CoreyAnton]

Best to you

Personally I think soda and sugary candy food is worse for humanity than marijuana which has been illegal in many countries for years and years. And it's not just unhealthy, Coke-a-Cola and Nestle are 2 of the biggest plastic producers in the world, and plastic will eventually weigh out the biomass in the ocean within the next 100 years.

Does it matter?

[@MatthewHALO3star]

@@Sunstepa it matters a lot if you consider how much plastic pollution and health insurance debt is caused by these conpanies

Thanks for another great book recommendation! If my dog had a voice, she'd want to thank you for informing me about animal heatstroke. Long walks, in mediterranean summer weather, with a lot of fur, are fun for about 15 minutes. After that walking is intolerable for my dog and it shows. Can't complain next time she decides to bathe in a big puddle or a muddy creek. Nearly all improvements in my life have come from looking backwards. Back to our biological roots. Back to our grandparents' wisdom and habits. Back to ancient and old books. A handul of this stuff has more value than tons and tons of modernity's well-marketed "empty-calorie" creations.

Good to see you again. Have you been in contact with Lee Thayer? If you have - how's he keeping?

[@CoreyAnton]

Hello. Sorry to say that Thayer died a couple of months ago.

[@Mj-pf6by]

@@CoreyAnton Ah that's very sad to hear.. His books had a profound impact on my life and many of my family members, too. Hope you keep in good health Corey and look forward to your videos.

(I endured)Reminds me of a book called "The Tender Carnivore and Sacred Game" by a guy named Shepard, i think. Good stuff.

Have you looked at Weston Price? He's a dentist that traveled around the world in the early 1900's showing the connection between people's diets to the health and shape of their teeth and jaws. I think he called sugar and refined flour the white plague and has photos showing the effects it had on people's faces

[@CoreyAnton]

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Check out Eugene Balon "Saltatory Processes and Altricial to Precocial Forms in the Ontogeny of Fishes" for a different look at Evolution. Well accepted by people who actually study the animals.

[@thankmelater1254]

"Development is not a gradual but a saltatory process. A combination of quali-tative changes in form and function-thresholds-creates boundaries between a successionof quantitative intervals-steps. Thresholds can be modified by an altered time of ap-pearance of structures and functions (heterochrony), especially during early ontogeny, toform an operational basis for the prolongation of juvenile characters and adaptability intolater ontogeny. Whereas such prolongation enables juvenilization in phylogeny, analogousprinciples may operate on a much shorter time scale to produce the r-selection-like altricialand the /(-selection-like precocial trends in ontogeny. The inherited capacity to adjustconstantly to the environment (heterochrony) selects for structural, biochemical and be-havioral improvements. The tendency is toward the precocial but the way back to altricialforms is left open. The heterochronous adaptations in early ontogeny can "reverse" thevulnerable specialization, should the environment become less stable and/or the commu-nity less competitive. Juvenilization, capable of turning gerontomorphosis into paedo-morphosis in evolution, and heterochronous shifts of character anlagen, capable of turn-ing a precocial trend into an altricial trend in ontogeny are both part of the same biologicalprocess which operates during early ontogeny"
