Of interest: Klaatu might have to breed us after she imposes her population "bottleneck."

A domesticated fox can tell us much about "The People Who Understand." The People Who Understand is the name of a tribe in the distant future.
Breeding for the "interconnected race." Buhubaquwa means, in your language, The People Who Understand.
Domesticated to a certain kind of "Nature" (breed/designed) or evolved to a particular type of Nature (natural selection.) What pressures made MTI humans? Why do chimps and bonobos behave like they do? Did Great Nature deem it so through its complex systems and physical laws? Great Nature above Klatuu. Behavior impacts gene expression across generations.
We learn more about Neanderthals as new tools allow us to access new lines of evidence, but we still don't know why they disappeared. It's fascinating to have multiple lines of evidence for our extinction and, seemingly, to choose to ignore them for the exciting, hyper stimuli of MTI.
A friend pointed out that in geological time, magma will recycle all e-waste (subduction is a significant geological process involving plate tectonics). Well, well, and I will die someday. Unbelievable! Oh, and I forgot to mention that there is a black hole barrelling toward the Milky Way as I type.
How long can your average "bad" Shawnee live in the wilderness, alone, once ostracised by the band?
"One must cast him out before he breeds. It is a great shame to the tribe and the nation to let Running Rant breed. If Running Rant can't understand, repeat from memory, and behave according to the lessons of his elders by the age of 13, he will cause all manner of disorders to his place and people. But we don't kill children. He may yet learn from Nature what is required to be a man. If he attempts to return to the band before 20 Kùsh ko (years), he will run the gauntlet four times and be banished. If he attempts to come back again, he may be killed."
