Interbreeding of humans with Neanderthals helped immune system








(CNN)Neanderthals may not have been as lucky as our human ancestors in the long run, but that doesn't mean the two subspecies didn't get lucky. Scientists have discovered that Homo sapiens -- that's us -- made more babies with archaic humanlike species than initially thought. That sexual history has left a mark on the human genome, possibly influencing our immune systems and metabolism, according to a new study published in the journal of Science.
"What was surprising from our study is that it revealed the history of contact with Neanderthals was more complicated than previously anticipated," Akey said.
And those sexual encounters may have played an important role in bestowing humans with biology that impacts our skin and hair, giving us infection-fighting advantages. "Many of these genes are involved in immunity and likely helped our ancestors fight new pathogens that they were exposed to as they dispersed into new environments," Akey said.  March 19 http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/19/us/neanderthal-human-interbred-irpt/index.html






The lead author of the study is based in Seattle, Washington. A chart for the solar eclipse of March 8 at Seattle is shown here. Notice that it is placed very significantly on the horizon axis as part of a T-square containing Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn with apex Saturn on the IC.

In medical astrology, Neptune is connected to the immune system. The immune system is comprised of a network of lymph glands and vessels that help protect us from disease and illness. By nourishing our immune system, we strengthen our ability to throw off toxins and withstand physical and emotional stress. http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0002275.HTM


Meanwhile Saturn is conjunct the asteroid Aesculapia (medical issues) and the star Sabik. About Sabik, Nick Fiorenza writes:

Sabik is the second brightest star in Ophiuchus after Ras Alhaugue located  on the right thigh or loin of Ophiuchus, closely conjoining Ras Algethi, the Head of Hercule. This is a powerfully transformative location in sidereal Scorpio, one offering a significant transmutational experience due to the alchemical intermixing of elements, often of a sexual, genetic, biological or botanical nature. Sabik is also of medicine, healing, medical research and the art-science of alchemy.


If the apex plant planet in a T-square holds the key to the problems contained in the T, might not the position of Saturn conjunct  Sabik  be saying that our ability to throw off toxins came from the intermixing of elements of a sexual, genetic or biological nature  that we have inherited from our ancestors (IC).
