Don't know much about children, specifically babies, or how humans are literally wired by hundreds of millennia of evolution to respond to them do you? That was not the formation of a 'pack' bond, that was the start of the formation of a parent/child bond. Hominid group dynamics have been far more complex than wolf packs for millions of years before modern humans evolved, and the parent/child bond is one of the central roots of those group dynamics..... Its literally older than Humanity itself.
This story reminds me of a post-apocalypse series of novels I once read, thing it was called Wastelands, but I'm talking like 30 years ago, so I'm not sure. Anyway, it was mostly about a man and his mutated wife, and their friends. The wife had psychic powers, the man was just really good with a gun. They also had an elderly gentleman friend, who liked to arm himself with a rapier and the equivalent of the Governer revolver from like the 1800s, called a LeMat.
Great story. Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful RU-vid algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.
Parasites, not necessarily nanites. A good rule of thumb in wilderness survival is to cook everything well done to kill off any potential parasites, especially in meats.
@@merlinathrawes746 Many parasites will just die in stomach acid. So that needs to be something special. And it seems to be one parasite, that affects all animal and plant life. Meaning a technological terror is pretty likely.
@@christopherg2347 Meh, not really. Problem is they are forgetting the issue of variability in organisms that reproduce sexually. Its the reason why sexual reproduction is the main method of reproduction in all the more complex organisms on Earth despite its relative inefficiency. To cut what is actually a complex topic really short, in essence it means there is no such thing as a parasite or pathogen that will affect 100% of a population. There will ALWAYS be a proportion of that population, even if small, that is either resistant or even immune. In a high stress environment, which the one in the story obviously is, those resistant or immune strains of the population would rapidly become dominant in the population through the very simple mechanic of actually living long enough to reproduce. Which means after a few decades, to centuries (depending on Generation times), the effects of the pathogen or parasite would become lessened, or even minimised as the majority of the population becomes at worst resistant to, and potentially completely immune the disease or parasite in question. And this is no hypothesis, it has been witnessed and recorded happening in human populations in our own history, as well as wild animal and test populations in labs. So its no far fetched 'idea', but an established biological fact..... Quite simply this effect would not be continuing if it was biological in nature. Nanites change the Biological parameter so may be an answer, but lets face it none of us actually have any idea exactly how nano tech will work simply because it has not been invented yet!!! Thus far its simply been a handy SciFi trope to explain all sorts of things that are biologically impossible. In essence a form of techno magic that does precisely what the author wants it to do!
