A recent study published last year in the journal Cell has identified the ancient origins of a genetic mutation that confers resistance to HIV, and how it first appeared in an individual who lived near the Black Sea between 6,700 and 9,000 years ago. Named CCR5 delta 32, the uncommon genetic variant disables a key immune protein used by a large majority of strains of the HIV virus to enter human cells and therefore "locks out" the virus in individuals who carry two copies of the mutation.
HIV is a relatively new disease. It was only identified in the last century, but the genetic mutation that defends against it has existed for thousands of years. The international research team... confirmed this through the analysis of over 3,000 genomes of ancient and modern humans. The study used a new AI-based method to detect the mutation in the often degraded DNA of ancient bones.
The researchers analyzed DNA from more than 900 ancient people, ranging from the early Mesolithic era to the Viking era. They found that the CCR5 delta 32 mutation emerged abruptly and rapidly spread in human populations, particularly after humans transitioned from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle to more densely settled agricultural societies. That shift in lifestyle likely put humans in contact with new pathogens, imposing evolutionary pressure that favored individuals with the mutation.

Vikings resist anything they don’t approve of.
It got very lonely in those little boats.
In the land of nervous sheep.
Sailors have been getting the Clap for 10,000 years, okay tell me something that will supprize me.
I wonder what happened 100+ years ago that changed things?
Vikings humped monkeys?
HIV, is caused by vaccines, and drug usage. The queer community are known for multiple sex partners per day. 300-1,000 per year. If it were a virus, and vaccines for a virus were effective, there would be a shot. People died from AIDS, because of the drugs Fauci was giving them to keep them alive. Which really, was a chemo drug that the inventor gave up the patent for, because it killed people. Fauci and his minions, snapped it up and millions died.
The rate of Cancer in the US was much much lower before vaccinations were given. Males now have a 1 in 2 chance of getting cancer in their lives. Females, 1 in 3.

It is strange that there is no longer data on the rate per cancer incidence. Just that people live longer after getting cancer now. SOMETHING is triggering cancer, and it is not smoking.

From now on this one is just #11:
Doctor, I came to pick up my wife’s results…
- Well… I had a little problem with the results. I accidentally scrambled them with another patient, we don’t know if she has aids or alzheimers.
+ What should I do now?
- Leave her in the middle of the forest, if she comes back, don’t **** her.
They’re certainly resistant to Super Bowl trophies.
Who’s gonna stop ‘em?!?
I don’t see in this piece where the HIV resistance had anything to do with Vikings except as one end of a long time line. A 9000 year old origin in the Black Sea didn’t come from Vilings. Too far from were they were located if they even existed that long ago.
