An ancient coronavirus, or a closely related pathogen, triggered an epidemic among ancestors of present-day East Asians roughly 25,000 years ago, a new study indicates.
Analysis of DNA from more than 2,000 people shows that genetic changes in response to that persistent epidemic accumulated over the next 20,000 years or so, David Enard, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, reported April 8 at the virtual annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The finding raises the possibility that some East Asians today have inherited biological adaptations to coronaviruses or closely related viruses.
The discovery opens the way to exploring how genes linked to ancient viral epidemics may contribute to modern disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Genes with ancient viral histories might also provide clues to researchers searching for better antiviral drugs, although that remains to be demonstrated.
Enard's group consulted a publicly available DNA database of 2,504 individuals from 26 ethnic populations on five continents, including Chinese Dai, Vietnamese Kinh and African Yoruba people. The team first focused on 420 proteins known to interact with coronaviruses, including 332 that interact with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These interactions could range from boosting immune responses to making it easier for a virus to hijack a cell.
Substantially increased production of all 420 proteins, a sign of past exposures to coronavirus-like epidemics, appeared only in East Asians. Enard’s group traced the viral responses of 42 of those proteins back to roughly 25,000 years ago.

from the FRchives:The Scars of Evolution:"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'"

Clearly, those East Asians refused to wear masks.
Trump’s fault.
And the human race is still here.
Imagine that.....
I thought coronaviruses are fake?
I have been watching a series on dna and extrapolating it bak that far is a ludicrous mathematical fantasy.
After deep study and numerous costly grants, the solution for all non-East Asians is: WEAR YOUR MASK.
Geeze.
They refused to socially distance.
this is WHY FauXi and CDC had to use
Gain of Function to get their patents
(monies, royalties, tendies, pensions, corrupt income).
GOF is money for them.
death and sterility for YOU.
the planned murder (plandemic) of humans
is not funny, Harkonen.
Nice straw man argument. What other buffoonery have you got in store for us today?
It was thought they were loin cloths (ie. “Tarzan”) as a
substitute for the face coverings): mask=loin cloth. Different word, same connotation.
Prehistoric Fauci looked the same.
Consider this. The coronavirus may very well have been endemic in Asia for many thousands of years. Therefore the endemic human population has had to deal with its presence and its mutations. It is therefore logical to assume that the modern day Asian population are the descendants of those who possessed the genetic capability to deal with and survive coronavirus infections. Much the way after thousands of years of exposure to pastuerella pestis (plague), the modern European population has little susceptibility. ( ever wonder why plague did not break out in the concentration camps, POW camps and the unhygeinic, starved cities during WW II). Also may explain why COVID-19 has not spread throughout China to the extent it has elsewhere. The Chinese have the genetic capability to deal with most coronavirus. Could be the reason their biological warfare experts viewed the corronavirus as a logical weapon. Most Chinese would be inherently immune while non Chinese enemies would likely be very susceptible.
“the planned murder (plandemic) of humans

Wow. So who was it that planned the mass murder of humans 20,000 - 25,000 years ago.... INTER-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS?
From fried bat fritters? 😉
:^) The narrative is fake. Coronavirii are not only real, they've been known and studied for decades.
lol
