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.

Explore the Warrior GenoType, a unique survival adaptation that emerged during significant historical periods, from the Neolithic Era to the Iron Age. This quiz covers the environmental contexts, physical characteristics, and epigenetic impacts on populations in Europe during these times.
