Friday post to think about (but not too much).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact 1. Science knows quite well how people got to Aznata - by migrating from Atia along the M\u00f6ller Isthmus (and not just once, but several times), when the sea level dropped enough to reveal some kind of dry land. This happened so long ago that now, when studying the relationship of the indigenous Aznat and Atiat peoples, we can only rely on genetics - even the languages diverged so long ago that today we have only a couple of not very recognized theories that claim the relationship of some language groups from there and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact 2. Science distinguishes three subspecies (or species, or races - as you wish) of Gearths: Leoids (that's Zear), Kanoids (that's me) and Linkoids (we don't have any). Leoids are most common in Orov and Atia, Kanoids in Aznath, and in other parts of the world it varies, but the ratio of their prevalence throughout the world as a whole is: Leoids:Linkoids:Kanoids = 4:3:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, again, it is obvious that they went to Aznata along the same isthmus, settled there and began to fight with people. But then everything becomes a little more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leoids and Canoids (as subspecies) have diverged for quite a long time; this is clear even to the uninitiated reader: it is enough to look at a wolf and a lion, and compare their appearance. Genetically, this is also confirmed, but there is one catch - the languages of the Orovean Leoids (who live in Eryakhshar) and one tribe of Aznat Canoids (to which my ancestors belonged) are related! At first glance, this is not very noticeable, and there are still doubters, but the evidence is irrefutable, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my last name, A\u0161a\u0163'\u014d\u1e11\u1e11y'ah<\/strong> (read approximately as "ashafoddya" and means "the sun, the blackest of the stars"), if it is "translated" into dzheartoy, it will look like this \u0101\u015f\u0101r t\u014d\u0163e\u1e11\u0113 xal\u015fem(an)<\/strong> (ashar tofede halshem(an)). If you try, you can find some similarities. But the thing is that it is still not very clear how to correlate linguistic and genetic data. There are many hypotheses, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, I decided to attach an example of a Leoid, Lincoid, and Canoid skull. Sorry for the watermarked images, but this is literally the best I could find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
