Bring it.Humans aren’t that homogeneous when it comes to immunity though.
When Europeans colonised Americas they brought germs that decimated Indians. There’s plenty of evidence that similar thing happened in Europe too when Yamnaya / Corded Ware culture expanded because they replaced existing people very quickly and without much violence which also coincides with burial sites teeming with black plague but I digress.
You also have to account for unused immunity being possibly eroded with time because there’s no evolutionary pressure. This is why we need to be mindful about vitamins for example - we got used to them being available in the environment and our bodies can no longer synthesise them. Dormant functionality isn’t guaranteed to carry over through millennia.
40k years ago is also when last Sapiens and Neanderthal admixture happened which was a bit of big thing for our immune systems to give a sense of scale here.

In the wild, chimps likely ingest the equivalent of several alcoholic drinks every dayI just read that those 14g of ethanol is an equivalent to 0,33L lager. Daily drinking is still alcoholism - get your life together, chimpanzees.

How Zelda and Studio Ghibli inspire happiness and purposecross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/48384923
This study shows that playing an open-world game, such as The The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and nostalgia evoked by Studio Ghibli films significantly foster a sense of exploration and calm in life, as well as a feeling of mastery and skill, and purpose and meaning, hence ultimately contributing positively to one’s overall happiness in life.

The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabisTruth isn’t different between serious and casual discussion and this is a serious topic.
If you want to cite a scientific paper then do it yourself and don’t ask others to fish them out of blogs you link to because too many times I’ve seen none included and nobody got time for that on a casual forum.
As to actual sources, I assumed I wouldn’t have to make as much of a strong point when talking about something that’s pretty much a scientific consensus. Where I live doctors won’t prescribe you medicinal weed if you’re under 25 usually too.
Going by casual wisdom, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence so I would expect the burden to be on the ones claiming that what I’m saying is bs but I guess it’s on me to bring back some reason here.
