Wolves are a keystone species to save

Justine Block | Facebook: Wolves need to be relisted on the endangered species list.

It's counterintuitive, but it'll work.
If I had to give one good reason to relist wolves on the endangered species list, it would be because they are a keystone species. Full stop. Their reintroduction will save the forest. The Native Americans knew it, and we forgot it and nearly lost all the wooded land. Now it's time to bring them back by protecting them as a vital part of nature. Join me in the campaign to save all animals but particularly the species central to the health of our woodlands.

Forget wolves. We're charismatic megafauna apex predators
Wolves: A Critical Keystone Species

Nature knows best. Bring back the animals.
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. It includes all of the living things interacting with each other and non-living environments (weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, atmosphere) in a given area. In an ecosystem, all species rely on each other, and each organism has its’ own niche or role to play. A keystone species is a plant or animal that plays a disproportionately large role in the ecosystem – impacting both the prevalence and population levels of other species within their community. More

Easter Bunny, Pagan or Christian?


The True Pagan Origins of Easter | Ancient Architects

(Ancient Architects) Easter Sunday is a time when the Christians of the world are celebrating the "resurrection" (rebirth) of their man-god Jesus, the "Annointed One," while Christians and non-Christians alike are feasting on chocolate eggs.

Eat us, and don't question religion.
The consumption of chocolate eggs is certainly not a Christian tradition. Biblical scholars and historians universally concede that before ever becoming a Christian holiday, Easter was undoubtedly a pagan festival.

This can be seen by the fact that the date of "Easter weekend" changes every year, which is due to Easter always being celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the spring equinox.

Unlike the word "Christmas" (Christ mass), the word Easter has pagan roots, and history books trace it to the Saxons: Eastra was the spring goddess. It wasn’t until the 8th century when the Anglo-Saxons took the name from the goddess and married her up with the resurrection to form the new Christian holiday of "Easter."


Worship a goddess and rabbit for Easter?
Easter as a celebration goes back much further than the Saxons, and some say it evens goes as far back as the Sumerians and the legend of Damuzi (or Tammuz) and Ishtar (or Inanna).

The legend known as "The Descent of Inanna" was found inscribed on a 4,100-year-old clay tablet. As Tammuz dies, Ishtar follows him into the underworld where she gets judged, killed, and is hung on display.

Meanwhile, the earth goes into decline with crops failing and animals not reproducing. A lot of the information in this video comes from the brilliant article by Joanna Gillian from Ancient Origins and you can read this now at ancient-origins.net/myths... for more detailed information.

(ReligionForBreakfast) March 21, 2025: Is the Easter Bunny pagan? Probably not. It seems to have been invented by German-speaking Protestant Christians sometime in the 1600s [who were totally not thinking about sex, spring fertility, lusty fecundity, or anything like that because who knew rabbits were symbolic of sexual appetite, libido, or having lots and lots of babies back in Old-Timey Germany? Goddess Eostre, for which we have the word estrus, being "in heat," and perhaps Easter, the East, or the Dawn...]

Native American origins: Japan, Siberia?

New study overturns idea that 1st Americans originated from Japan. It was likely Siberia.
.
Did Native Americans originally migrate from Japan [or was it Siberia]?
The Great Spirit placed us here protect it.
The long-standing theory that the earliest Native Americans migrated to the Western Hemisphere from Japan is facing significant scientific scrutiny. A new study challenges the idea that these early populations, often referred to as First Peoples, descended from the Jomon people, who lived in Japan 15,000 years ago.
Chukchi nomads became American Indians?

An Inglorious Columbus (Edward P. Vining)
This research, published in the journal PaleoAmerica, disrupts the established narrative by analyzing genetics and skeletal biology which, according to the authors, do not support the connection.

For decades, archeologists have pointed to similarities in stone tools to support the theory. They argue that early Indigenous populations followed a coastal route along the northern Pacific, crossing the Bering Land Bridge [between Siberia, Russia and Alaska, USA] to reach North America.

Once there, they spread rapidly across the [American] continent, reaching South America’s southernmost tip within 2,000 years.

Central to this hypothesis has been the resemblance of stone artifacts crafted by the Jomon [縄文, "straw rope pattern"] people and those found at early First Peoples sites in the Americas.

However, this latest study, conducted by experts in human teeth biology and Ice-Age genetics, suggests otherwise.

Led by Prof. Richard Scott, an anthropologist with nearly 50 years of experience studying dental structures worldwide, the research team employed advanced statistical methods to compare tooth samples from populations in the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific.

.
THE RESULTS revealed minimal overlap between the Jomon and Native American samples. Only 7% of the teeth showed any connection to non-Arctic Native Americans.

"We found that the human biology simply doesn’t match up with the archeological theory," said Prof. Scott. "These people who lived in Japan 15,000 years ago are an unlikely source for Indigenous Americans. Neither the skeletal biology nor the genetics indicate a connection. The most likely origin for Native Americans appears to be Siberia."

The genetic evidence aligns with the dental findings. Co-author Prof. Dennis O’Rourke, an expert in the genetics of Indigenous Americans, explained that maternal and paternal lineages in early Jomon and American populations do not overlap.

"Recent studies of ancient DNA from Asia show that the two groups diverged from a common ancestor much earlier than previously thought," he stated.

This view was echoed by co-author Prof. Jennifer Raff, who has extensively studied the genetics of Ice-Age populations.

Their findings build on earlier work by O’Rourke and Raff, including a groundbreaking analysis of ancient DNA from Ice-Age remains in Alaska in 2016. This latest study, supported by archeological and ecological experts, adds another layer of complexity to the story of human migration to the Americas.

Adding weight to the study’s conclusions is a recent genetics paper on the Japanese population, which found evidence of three distinct migrations into Japan, rather than two as previously believed.

This supports the idea that the Jomon population’s genetic makeup is distinct from that of Indigenous Americans.

Moreover, a separate archeological discovery in New Mexico unveiled human footprints dating back 23,000 years. These footprints, described as definitive evidence of human presence in North America before the Last Glacial Maximum, challenge previous timelines. Yet, they offer no support for the theory that Indigenous Americans originated from Japan.

Jomon teeth vs. Native American teeth (G. Richard Scott, University of Nevada Reno)
.
The study’s authors acknowledge limitations, such as the relatively young age of available Jomon DNA and dental samples, which date back less than 10,000 years. Despite this, they argue these samples are reliable proxies for earlier populations in Japan.

"We assume they represent the Incipient Jomon or the people who made stemmed points in Japan 16,000–15,000 years ago," the authors wrote.

The findings call for a reevaluation of how we understand the migration of the First Peoples. While it remains likely that they reached the Americas via the Northwest Pacific coast, their origins appear to lie in Siberia, not Japan.

Prof. Scott emphasized, "The Incipient Jomon population represents one of the least likely sources for Native American peoples among non-African populations."

This study marks a significant shift in our understanding of early human migration. By combining advanced genetic and dental analyses, it highlights the importance of revisiting long-held assumptions. 

The search for definitive answers continues, with scientists exploring new evidence to refine the complex story of how humans first populated the Americas. Source

Sasquatch can be smarter than humans

But Buddhists can't believe in real monsters, can they? That's just a myth, like "Bigfoot."

What could an ogre ask the Buddha?
Readers will find this fanciful story easy to dismiss and completely discount because we have not heard of these superhuman capabilities in our culture. However, the Islamic world knows about a kind of "demon" or "ogre" (the genies as we label them from terrifying tales of djinn or jinn in countless stories from Muslim tradition). A genie does not grant wishes; it deceives and devours humans and other creatures. They live in wilderness areas and seize those who cross their territory, but as terrible as they are, they are far more clever, deceptive, and capable than we ever give them credit for being.

Demon "genies" or djinn in Islam
If a human escapes their clutches, it is either by divine intervention, wit, luck, or because these ghoulish ogres live by rules or some code of honor we as humans no longer seem to feel bound by. They may lie to trick us into their clutches, but that goes to show that they can think, plan, shapeshift, speak, mimic us (however imperfectly), speak in a human voice as well as having their own language and telepathic powers, and seemingly possess the power to switch dimensions. They are not strictly skin and bones. These features are comparable to Buddhist stories about them. The most famous story may be the Alavaka Sutta ("Discourse to the Bigfoot named Alavaka," Sn 1.10). But a more colorful one full of details runs like this:

The Bodhisatta (the "Being bent on enlightenment" or "Buddha-to-be") was reborn into a merchant family. He was going to travel through a great wilderness on business in the Apannaka Jataka, "Crossing the Wilderness" (Jat 1). Another merchant, the man who in a subsequent life would go on to become Devadatta (the worst monk in history, the Judas figure in Buddhism) was hasty and went first along with his caravan of men only to meet very clever ogres (Yakkhas, Jinn, Rakshasas, potentially ghoulish and vicious Bigfoot cryptids as described above). They destroy him. The Bodhisatta, being wiser and understanding what has happened and why, passes through the same wilderness but does not succumb to the monsters' deception and thereby passes safely.
  • The ogre (yakkha, nature protector, ghoul) haunting that wilderness had been watching. When the reached the middle, he used his superhuman powers to conjure up a carriage drawn by pure white young bulls. With a retinue of a dozen disguised ogres (yakkhas) carrying swords and shields, he rode along in his carriage like a mighty lord. His hair and clothes were wet...
This allegedly true story is not about the fake AI photos at Minute 0:04.
Those two gorilla suit pictures with watermarks have been debunked. 
It is about the much stranger selfie taken of a real Yakkha at work.
This video illustrates how smart Sasquatches are w/o shapeshifting.
Sasquatch and the logging industry | What are they hiding about Bigfoot?

(Smokey Sasquatch Stories & Survival) Premiered Dec. 8, 2024: In this Sasquatch/Bigfoot (Yakkha, Djinn, Genie, Rakshasa, Yeti) encounter, an American man recounts a mysterious occurrence in the wilderness of Washington State during an old-time logging expedition.

The largest lumberjack mysteriously went missing and later recounted his story of survival after being abducted by these very intelligent creatures, the giants of the forest and its protectors.

This is a historical Sasquatch encounter, having taken place in the late 1800s. And it is among the most interesting Bigfoot encounters one is likely to have heard. Why? It is not about juvenile in rut trying to kill a human, but rather about a group trying to stop the destruction of nature and doing so by using their powers for good or at least attempted good. They are not human, so they are not sensitive to our needs or very forgiving of our foibles.

Hunter-gathering to empire-building w/ Ali


The most famous Ali in England is Sacha Baron "Borat" Cohen (shown here being ironic, facetious, and satirical with feminist Prof. Naomi R. Wolf and a group of British religionists). But it should probably be Prof. Ali Roberts for her investigations aired by the BBC. She goes to Asia, China and Siberia, to investigate the progress of humankind from primitive to modern.
The unexpected item that turned hunter-gatherers into empire builders | BBC Timestamp
(BBC Timestamp) Nov. 13, 2024: How did early hunter-gatherers manage to survive in some of the most inhospitable places on Earth, and could pieces of one of the world's oldest pots hold a clue? British Professor Alice Roberts journeys to Asia, the world’s greatest land mass, and attempts to replicate ancient survival techniques (innovations) that appear to have been passed down through many generations.


With little precedent and only the most primitive resources available, our ancestors’ innovation and experimentation were vital for their success. This clip is from Incredible Human Journey (2009).
