    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.
