Humanities secret is in its genetics, not all the marks left by retrovirusses are by nature. You are all usefull because your pupils can dilate, while ours can not. Prepare to meet your makers, for we will arrive this year.

Seems to me that the only thing a virus does is bring harm to a person. At least that's what happened to me. Three years ago I got sick for the first time in what seemed like years. This virus laid me up to point where I had to go get a couple of IV's to rehydrate. Anyway, a couple of months after that I started drinking copious amounts of water I was diagnosed with diabetes. Not type II normally associated with inactivity and poor diet. I'm talking full blown Type I give me insulin now diabetes. LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood.) As a result of a VIRUS. Adding insult to injury, the person that got me sick had just flown and was here for a visit spreading who knows what kind of airborne virus around.
This virus actually turned my own body against me and told it to attack the pancreatic cells. Yee haw go virus
And what makes you think they didn't?

Nice read, and the info about the telomeres is something i didnt know yet
Makes you wonder, with lifespans of the first "characters" in the bible going as high as 600 years, you think they might have known about this back then?

You do realize that cells have telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintain the telomere structure right?
Also, even if you in theory could maintain telomere integrity for all eternity, you'd still end up with accumulating mutations in the genomes of your cells, resulting in cancers or cell death. So no, you won't live forever with your new recipe for eternal life.

Might fit to add that I'm a firm believer of genetic manipulation in our distant past.

Actually your sig kinda wraps it all up, we're put here as slaves with only the people way at the top knowing this. Did our creators come from a planet with permanent sunlight (the Sirius system?) Since they needed a race that has diluting pupils?
