QUANTUM ENGINEERING #56: WHERE DID ABSTRACT ART COME FROM? NEANDERTHALS OR PICASSO?

My new place in El Salvador will highlight the effect of art and light on health. This blog will help you understand what is driving this decision process in my choices.

The "regressive evolution" of mammals today on Earth is spawning interesting new ideas for decentralized science for us that are unique.

I believe the first Hominid TBI that told the melanin story of mammals is when ancient Neanderthals lost sunlight and became modern humans.

Only wise modern humans who can see the loss of human superpower around the melanin sheets in their heads happening at breakneck speed will survive this "backward evolution". Wisdom for today's mammals is born inside their melanin sheets inside their skulls. Wisdom makes you the most adaptable creature in a rapidly changing environment. What is changing fastest today? The light we live under is the answer.

Let us take a walk back in history to understand what decentralized science is signaling.

Light is the creative "Source" in the universe. To some "backward evolution" may imply a loss of complexity, misleading you to believe, that evolution has a goal of creating more complex forms. It doesn't mean this. However, evolution merely favors features that make a poster "more fit" for a particular current environment and this is based on the redox status of the non-visual photoreceptive system.

Look at the fish. Implications of the picture? What you do isn't what you think. Let me explain the creative process buried at the core of life. The evolutionary process doesn't retrace its steps in "regressive evolution". It just appears to those who do not carefully observe the process. You have to go deeper than the facade of just seeing a fish with no eyes. Cave-dwelling creatures have frequently undergone "regressive evolution", due to their unique light environment. Remember fish are not mammals, but mammals have fish/amphibian OPN5 in their brains. This creates a lesson for mammals to learn.

These fish have lost their eyes because they are not needed in dark environments. But eye loss in cavefish, for example, doesn't mean an exact return to a primordial ancestor without these organs. The eye remnants remain. They are atrophic and lie in wait until the light, the "Source code" returns. Instead, processes that previously produced the eye stop partway through the process, leaving a vestigial eye overgrown with skin. The decision to lose their eyes was a thermodynamic one. With food so scarce in caves, the animals have to save their energy—and being sightless gives them a major energy boost so they can adapt to a low food environment. This teaches us there is a huge link between light and food. The link is thermodynamically driven.

I believe the same process occurred in the primate clade of mammals in Africa 2-4 million years ago to explain our species today.

To a surface thinker of today with low dopamine fueling their frontal lobe circuits, due to degraded melanin sheets in their skulls, things can look like they're going into reverse when they aren't. The eye didn't go in reverse. It just stopped going forward. Might human creative be the result of the same process in the chimp family?

Might it even be more complex today compared to our own genesis?

I believe this is exactly what is happening to human mammals today. They are no longer moving forward, and their epigenetic toolbox which relies on UV light to drive mitosis, is also regressing. What does that imply? The cavefish doesn't face this now because it is not a mammal and it is protected fully from man's use of artificial light.

What is happening to mammals that aren't in Nature and are subject to man-made light? Now gorillas are getting obese in zoos? Yep.

Was Michelangelo's David truly perfection 520 years ago in stone? I do not think it was because his eyes and brain case where smaller than his ancestors.

As humans have degraded the melanin sheets inside their skulls with the use of clothing and indoor dwelling with fire use they have become more creative. Look at the relationship of fire to melatonin. As fore became more popular among Neanderthals in caves their melatonin levels would have dropped. This would have driven their blood sugars and insulin levels higher and this would have made their larger brains a real thermodynamic drag on their biology.

Who was affected by this most? Mammals are and neanderthals were mammals. We still see this in nocturnal mammals today. See the link above. Neanderthals likely went extinct over this change in light use in caves. Could the use of fire inside of a cave to survive have given birth to homosapien creativity as we lost 125 grams of brain tissues?

I believe creativity, like autism, is a regressive evolutionary creation. Creativity manifests as a regressive change of melanin degradation to dopamine in the frontal lobes. Autism is regressive creation in the diencephalon derivatives giving us a spectrum of change. With respect to creativity, this regressive change has had a positive connotation which can best be seen in the Louve in Paris. Melanin degradations created various levels of dopamine in our frontal lobes that lead to new creations on Earth. There is a deep evolutionary lesson here.

If this lesson offends the artist in you, good. What did I say above? Cave-dwelling creatures have frequently undergone "regressive evolution", due to their unique light environment. Mammals react just as the fish do because the OPN 5 in their brains.

Tell me, when did "human paintings" show up on Earth? They showed up when humans went inside caves and brought fire with them to light the dwelling and they made pictures of their world on a stone wall. They left UV-IR-A light and used alien light (fire) to light their world. Fire is capable of destroying melatonin and melanopsin to degrade melanin. Few see the implications as I do, but ultimately it makes sense why diseases like autism and Alzheimer's afflict modern homo sapiens whose brains are shrinking further.

Cave art, generally, the numerous paintings and engravings found in caves and shelters dating back to the Ice Age (Upper Paleolithic), roughly between 40,000 and 14,000 years ago. The first painted cave acknowledged as being Paleolithic, meaning from the Stone Age, was Altamira in Spain.

People forget our history with light and how it is linked to our brains. I will remind you of what you conveniently forget. The story is right in front of your eyes. Every day I see shrinking brains on MRI and CT scans of modern humans who have created a life around manufactured light. It reminds me of the cavefish all the time.

Around 40 000 years ago Neanderthals went extinct. Have you ever asked yourself why a hominid with 125 grams more brain tissue than you went extinct at Northern latitudes? Might that answer be a lack of sunlight to fuel that brain with big eyes? Might that brain have caused them problems when the sun's power vanished and they began to use fire too?

I told you that the eye is the on-and-off switch of the brain. Did you know that their Neanderthal eye socket was much larger than ours? Is this a clue to the light story here? Are we the result of the cognitive devolution of the Neanderthals?

For more than 350,000 years, Neanderthals inhabited Europe and Asia until, in a sudden change by evolutionary standards, they disappeared around 40,000 years ago when they faced 1000 year cooling period associated with a lack of sunlight. This was at around the same time the anatomically modern human Homo sapiens emerged from equatorial Africa where the sun was stronger. Neanderthals never got to Africa. The story of light and lack thereof is all around our history if you look for it.

When DNA gets passed down through the generations, it gets shuffled into new arrangements that can be used to build a sort of timeline. And this timeline suggests that the DNA entered the most northern Neanderthal gene pool roughly 100,000 years ago.

The scientists were initially skeptical of the patterns they saw in the DNA data because it said centralized science was wrong about the "Out of Africa" time line of modern homosapiens.

The most recent Neanderthal data findings challenges the current narrative that human migration out of Africa took place around 50,000 years. In fact it raises the possibility that an earlier movement of human explorers did occur to cause the mixing of the species.

Centralized science believes Neanderthals could withstand the cold, but much new evidence does not support this. Few of their skeletons are found above the 51st latitude. In fact, they got their name as a homid because the Valley of Neander is the highest latitude where most of their bones have been found in Germany.

Neanderthals had heavier fur coats than modern humans they were covered with animal skins as the climate got colder. This would have changed how melanin operated in their skins and brain. Neanderthals are now also thought to have processed animal hides and crafted clothing that could have covered up to 80 percent of their bodies. Do you think this had no effect on their disappearance given what I said to Rick and Huberman? Like humans, they are thought to have covered their feet too. Might this have affected their ability to ground as the sun got weaker? Now we also believe other sensitive body parts, like their gonads were covered too. Do you think this had any effect on their fecundity? Funny how modern humans in artificial light are also now struggling with the same issues do not you think?

Another recent breakthrough was the discovery that Neanderthals may have been capable of "symbolic thought". In my opinion, this shows something else that has already occurred in modern humans. A regressive evolution began to cause them to lose 125 grams of brain mass when the light diminished on Earth and at the 51st latitude. In 2018, researchers announced they’d discovered evidence of cave paintings from 65,000 years ago—the oldest artworks of their kind. This art was described as abstract nature. I find it funny that modern abstract human art began in Paris with Pablo Picasso after he locked himself inside after a friend committed suicide. Both changes in art abstraction came with losses of sunlight. Few see what I see.

This Neanderthal finds continue to fuel debates among scientists about how complex their mental capacities truly were, but I'd bet they were every bit as wise as us when the sun was shining. Their candle dimmed when the sun dimmed because they had more eye mass and brain tissue to illuminate. I think creativity is a regressive trait due to a loss of melanin because dopamine is made from it during hypoxic states. A lack of UV light causes a pseudohypoxia.

Thoughts to ponder this AM as I look at some art to buy for the Ark down in Salvador.................

Marie Antoinette was a story about melanin loss wasn't it?

SUMMARY

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it for what it really is. Observing nature in her raw form taught me that her many realities hidden behind a wall of perception. That vision is created not just what we see, but what we hold to be true. I learned from Nature that it is ideal to hide your best secrets; this is why I like seeing people when they can't see the real me. You might begin to watch the world around you with glittering eyes because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. I watch nature in her raw form at every sunrise. I never miss these lessons.
