The Death of Eros : Part Six,"The Curls of Eden"

Domestication syndrome is perhaps the most important observable phenomenon in the history of scientific discovery.

I know I promised an end to this series but had to do the previous four parts to get this far.

I can assure you that this is really the last, most important part of these ideas.

Why is a very good question.

There was a very important phenomenon to discuss in relation to the physical traits of “Aspergers Syndrome.” It is the most personal and relevant of them all for me.

Although they don’t put the information on this anomaly on the front counter in science for reasons which will soon be obvious, there are universal symptoms seen in Aspergers which are stigmata associated with this diagnosis.

Most of them are observable with the naked eye and psychologists and doctors have both noted them worldwide for decades.

They are:

• More juvenilized appearance and greater gracility

• Better bilateral symmetry in the face, limbs and throughout the entire body down to the cellular level.

• Curls in hair quite different from any existing genetic groupings. Best described as “cowlicks” which are also seen in domesticated animals of many different kinds.

• Greater bone density and muscle mass than peers.

• A thicker waist and stronger back and leg muscles.

• Grip strength greater than peers.

• Sagittal crest is often more pronounced than peers.

• Bigger (?) overall skull volume laterally from front to back.

• Patchy differences in hair coloring that vary with age.

Both general practitioners and specialists have pointed out the strange similarity between people with “Aspergers Syndrome” and the Basque with their large eyes with retreating periorbital sockets, more androgenous chins, strong shelf in the upper jaw and high foreheads and cheekbones. These kinds of features are rated consistently by the general population to be very attractive in both males and females. Nobody can say why that is exactly.

I don’t mean to sound arrogant but I have a premise that explains all of this.
