This image made me wonder why the environmental pressures of ice ages didn't force humans to regrow full body hair.
Then again I don't understand why there aren't viruses that give humans more strength, endurance, focus, or speed. Viruses and bacteria only trend in the negative direction. You get sick and your whole world goes to shit.
There is actually some good bacteria out there, believe it or not, but yes, there are a lot of bad contagions out there, th' vast majority of contagions are negative, in fact.
Noww. That you have mee. Thinging about it, It does sucks that viruses don't act like video game power-ups in real life.
What is makes me ponder this is a computer worm that was written like twenty years ago that would roam around the internet, infect computers, and fix the security issues that led to the infection.
A virus that had positive effects would have far greater advantages. People wouldn't quarantine away from them. You'd have virus parties.
Those advantages we would receive would, by the theory, only make the virus find itself replicating and extending its own existence.
A virus uses the body's resources to replicate itself, therefore your body cannot function with the virus. It hijacks your cells to create more of itself rather than letting your cells do their function. It's like a parasite.
This is different from the bacteria, that can reproduce on their own, and in fact there are a lot of good bacteria in your body.

More like power-downs.

Aryans have light skin and little body hair to absorb more vitamin D from the sun and because it's easier to be free from parasites.
