Study Notes
Warrior GenoType Overview
- Represents a survival adaptation resulting from the founder effect amid emerging civilizations.
- Development spanned from the Neolithic Era (around 11,000 years ago) to the Iron Age (approximately 2,500 years ago).
Environmental Context
- Characterized by persistent warfare, plague, and subsistence-level nutrition.
- Major epigenetic impacts on populations, particularly in Europe.
Physical Characteristics
- Young Warriors exhibit high levels of growth-factor activity, resulting in long legs and strong tendons/ligaments.
- Female Warriors are noted for their particularly long legs.
- Have soft, oval faces, contrasting with earlier thrifty types which are more rounded and carry extra body padding.
Health and Nutrition
- Despite having significant appetites, Warriors can sometimes be underweight.
- Their thriftiness arises as an epigenetic reaction to urgency rather than scarcity.
Genetic and Taste Traits
- Associated with the A-blood-group antigen, encompassing blood types A and AB.
- Taste sensitivity to PROP varies: some Warriors are non-tasters, while others, termed super-tasters, find the taste highly unpleasant.
