AIDS I believe...?


no it wasn't AIDS it was something obscure, I watched a program about the aquatic ape theory which mentioned it but as I suffer from mummy memory I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I'll see if I can find the program somewhere.

Oh I see. Forgive me, I thought you were referring to the dormant Virus that mutated once humans had contracted it somehow from monkeys. Turned out to be AIDS for those who don't know.

This thread is like 2 years old. Why are we bumping it?

AIDS is a condition, HIV is the virus.

Forgive me, I didn't realise that if I didn't go into greater detail, I would be corrected. I will most certainly not make the same mistake again. The VIRUS im referring to is a Virus. Carried by (but not affecting) monkeys. It remains dormant as they are immune. We caught HIV from the monkeys. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

Therefore you do not contract the condition, you contract the Viral Infection.

Just to geek it up a bit more. A patient has AIDS if he or she is infected with HIV and presents with one of the following:

A CD4+ T-cell count below 200 cells/µl (or a CD4+ T-cell percentage of total lymphocytes of less than 15%)

Sorry for going off topic OP. I can't stand to be corrected.

This is a classic case of "You are what you eat". Humans are so opportunistic that they have always been semi-aquatic. The easiest and most abundant means of feeding would be along waterways and coastlines.

Humans cannot be in water for long periods of time. Our skins begin to degrade by taking in too much water. Humans have to be able to dry more frequently than other semi-aquatics and often our oils are unbalanced across our surface.

I believe the reason "people" are so different is their diet and their environment. Short full-lunged people who can withstand the Andes, and tall frail people who live in the cities; each has a body that has adapted by diet and environment. Any characteristics such as body fat distribution are likely a parallel to the type of fats we consume as well as the types of cartilage and tissue (plant or animal).

Most likely our choices today in the types of foods and chemicals we consume will effect the future Human in ways we may never fully understand. If Nature does what Nature does so well there is a likelihood that some of our current characteristics will be our demise, this includes immunity and diseases as well as our general body failures. Not many healthy Humans around these days! Most of us would not be here if it were not for some intervention at some time in our development. The Balance is off enough now that we will never know what the future Human will be like, maybe they will finally have Cities underwater and we will get a secondary eyelid for swimming!
