What question does this answer, Stefan? What recent paleodiet research
supports a 1000 year life span? You cast yourself in a light of missing
wavelengths ;) by repeating one of Guy-Claude's more absurd notions: human
life span based on Methusalem tales.

Actually I can detect north very easily. I use an 80 cent compass. And I
can even detect True north because magnetic north is not exactly right and
THAT puts me ahead of any other animal I know of as regards direction ;) On
the very rare times I need a compass...

Seriously, I have lost my ability to breathe with gills but that hardly
makes me suspect. Again, what question were you answering here?

Maybe, maybe not. There are lots of tales around about lots of topics.

And longtime instinctos have died of malaria and cancer, had trich and
staph infections which would not self-limit, and become/remain metally
unbalanced. My conclusion: "excellent health" on an instincto diet is
mostly a self-proclomated state. Instinctos brag about their great immune
systems, intolerance for every speck of pollution; they consider themselves
superior to the cooked masses, and suddenly they will have big big health
problems. ;)

On the brighter side, they will, of course, be able to have open heart
surgery without an anesthetic!
