Dissertation: The Significance of Human Chromosome 2.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

I had wondered why humans have 46 chromosomes, but the great apes have 48. I heard the number two chromosome in humans is fused. I asked Grok for this dissertation.Dissertation: The Significance of Human Chromosome 2: Evolutionary Insights and Implications for Human History AbstractHuman chromosome 2 is a cornerstone of evolutionary biology, providing compelling evidence of humanity’s shared ancestry with other primates. Unlike most great apes, which possess 48 chromosomes, humans have 46, a difference attributed to the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes into what is now human chromosome 2. This dissertation explores the genetic, evolutionary, and historical…

Vladimir Putin’s Fake Because.

Vladimir Putin exploited the situation in eastern Ukraine, particularly the Donbas conflict, to justify Russia’s actions, including the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2022 full-scale invasion. The narrative of protecting Russian-speaking populations from alleged Ukrainian oppression was heavily one-sided, emphasizing real and perceived grievances while ignoring the broader context and Russia’s own role in fueling the conflict. The Ukrainian government’s use of artillery shelling in Donbas, which caused civilian casualties, provided Putin with a pretext that he amplified to portray Ukraine as the aggressor. Below, I’ll break down how Putin leveraged the separatist situation, the one-sided…

The Reedley Lab: A CCP Plot to Harm America.

I stumbled across an Epoch Times broadcast that exposed a secret lab in Reedley, California, tied to Chinese nationals, handling deadly pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and HIV in a dump of a facility. The more I dig, the clearer it gets: this was no accident. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) set up this lab as a covert operation to harm America, using a profit-driven front and unqualified workers as puppets to stage an “accidental” disaster, all while the U.S. government might be covering it up to keep us from demanding war. The evidence is thin—exactly what you’d expect…

The Confederate Policy: Executions of Black Soldiers

There is substantial historical evidence that Confederate forces executed Black Union soldiers who were taken as prisoners during the U.S. Civil War, often in violation of the laws of war. This was driven by the Confederacy’s refusal to recognize Black soldiers as legitimate combatants, viewing them instead as rebellious slaves or threats to the institution of slavery.   The Confederate government explicitly threatened harsh treatment for captured Black Union soldiers. In 1863, the Confederate Congress issued a resolution stating that Black soldiers captured in uniform would not be treated as prisoners of war but could be executed…

I’ve been pouring my mental energy into helping SpaceX establish a foothold on Mars, treating it as a fascinating intellectual puzzle rather than a practical goal. My Foothold Plan tackles some of the technical challenges, but I’m skeptical about colonizing Mars.   Starship Reentry and Power Solutions To cut heat flux on Starship’s reentry tiles by 50%, I propose three 90-second aerodynamic braking maneuvers. For power on Mars, I suggest adapting a Virginia-class submarine’s nuclear reactor, which operates for 33 years without refueling. Using pressurized helium for cooling and turbine operation, this reactor could be placed in…

Protected: Operation: Blue Guardian

President Trump:Good evening. We’re here with the biggest, most tremendous news—nobody does it better than the United States of America, believe me. I’m announcing Operation Blue Guardian, the greatest operation ever. This is about protecting our oceans, the world’s whales—magnificent, intelligent creatures, the best—and sending a powerful message to Japan. They’ve been killing whales, can you believe it? Three hundred, three hundred fifty whales a year, using those brutal harpoon cannons, and they call it fishing or something ridiculous. Not on my watch, not with me as your President!Look, I love Japan, great people, great allies, but…

Marty’s Call: A Grueling Night on Duty

This happened in 1999, during my first base assignment as an aircraft mechanic in the service of CAL FIRE. It was a brutal fire season, with the entire state seemingly ablaze. I was stationed at Santa Rosa Air Attack Base but had been sent to Ukiah to cover for a mechanic on his day off. I never understood why base mechanics took vacations during fire season—it always caused coverage issues. I made it a point never to take time off during those chaotic months. I had just settled down to sleep after a 15-hour duty day when my…

Manager’s Stupidity: Endangered a Mechanic’s Life

It was a dark and stormy Sunday morning in 2005, the kind of day that demands coffee and staying put. At 6:56 a.m., Mary and I were awake, eyes glued to the laptop’s radar, where Northern California drowned in angry swaths of yellow and red. The phone rang, slicing the silence. Bud, the on-duty Lead Mechanic, sounded calm but firm. “Mark, head to McClellan Air Park, grab a company truck, and get to Ukiah to cover the Cal Fire Base.” I studied the radar, rain blanketing the region. “Bud, it’s a monsoon out there. No pilot’s flying in…

In a visionary reimagining of history, the United States, weary of costly wars and ungrateful allies, rewrites the 20th century to become the eternal successor to Rome. Wielding supreme air power, an inexhaustible nuclear arsenal fueled by Africa’s uranium, and the brilliance of seized European and Russian scientists alongside African brain power, America erases its national debt, delivers free healthcare, and reigns as the sole industrial and nuclear power. Africa, uplifted as America’s favored ally, thrives with unparalleled support, its resources and intellect driving a global empire. This is the world of 2025, a triumphant Pax Americana…
