The 51stA monkey wearing a mask
There are various theories, but it is said that since the end of the last ice age, roughly 13,000 years ago, we Homo sapiens have shifted from hunter-gatherer life to sedentary, agricultural life. Already, their footprints have extended to almost every continent, and in each place they domesticated docile animals and expanded the number of plants they cultivated.
According to Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Iron," the settled agricultural life that occurred around Mesopotamia spread and developed in the same latitudinal direction, i.e., east to west, and the individuals living in that region overcame the great cost of livestock-borne infectious diseases and increased their resistance.
The fact that this way of life did not spread to the north and south, where the differences in climate change were greater, would later become a disadvantage for Africa and South America, especially with the conquest of the New World by Europeans, which was brought about by pathogens.
I am reading this book back to Nana as I look at humanity today, exposed to the fury of the corona.
In today's globalized world, everyone can be affected by the virus at almost the same time.
The three greatest threats to human survival are hunger, war, and pestilence. Yuval Noah Harari, who wrote the history of sapience, followed up with Homo Deus, which taught that mankind would overcome these three threats and upgrade to the realm of the gods (Deus), but the world was not so lucky.
War is still ongoing in some parts of the world, taking the form of terrorism, etc. , and it continues by means of economics, from weapons that directly kill and maim people. The only thing humanity has overcome so far is hunger. . But this happiness may not be stable for long.
Quiet.
Looking back, however, it was relatively cold in April, and there were not a few days when we turned on the heat in the mornings and evenings. It was difficult to adjust my physical condition, and every time my throat got a little scratchy, I felt a thrill of excitement. From a warm winter to a cold spring . But in May, the sun suddenly began to shine with more and more vigor.
At the same time, the ultraviolet rays are getting stronger. Just a few hours in the sun and my skin turns bright red.
As a general rule, we are not allowed to go outside , but we should be allowed to take a walk around the neighborhood to stay healthy. Masks are a must, but it is also the time of year when sunglasses are also needed. Wearing both of them would make me look suspicious, but given the current situation, that would be forgivable. In fact, wearing glasses may be a better way to prevent infection.
Sunglasses, by the way, are worn by foreigners at this time of year, even by children. This is because Europeans with blue eyes have light-colored irises and their eyes are sensitive to light. The reason why the lighting in their houses and restaurants over there are dark is because Cocajuns are more sensitive to light than we Mongoloid people are.
Homo sapiens evolved over tens of thousands of years by adapting the color of their skin and eyes to their environment, but when they still could not cope, they invented these tools and responded. . as monkeys with tools.
And in the 21st century , mankind is also utilizing new tools.
. we have finally evolved into a homo-mask.
