3 features that make Homo Pandorus Unique Among Human Species
Introduction
Now a days we are hearing about
a human species that is speculated to be advanced than Homo sapiens. Avatar 1
and avatar 2 has been released based on this topic (humanoid species). This is
none other than Na’vi. Na’vi scientific name is Homo pandorus who live in the
lush moon of Pandora. These beings give birth to curiosity in us to discover
about more humanoid species in universe.
Why Homo pandorus are
interesting species?
Homo pandorus were(are) featured
in Avatar series, namely Avatar 1 and Avatar 2. Homo pandorus are highly
attached to nature ie they are very close to nature. They are hunter-gatherers
with having technology which is equivalent to that of Earth's Paleolithic
epoch, together with the society which is basically Neolithic.
Homo pandorus have their own
culture and religion just like we humans possess.
Homo pandorian culture
They can be termed as a higher
intelligence life that is in the same position as human beings in the
ecosystem, except that they have a godly mind under the nose of nature because
of the nature of the Pandora ecosystem in which all living beings are connected
to one another.
The Na'vi have spiritual
connection with all the wildlife on Pandora and with each other. They show
respect for their "goddess” named Eywa. A Tsahìk is known as the spiritual
leader who preaches Eywa and spiritually do nourishment of the clan.
Like Eywa goddess Shakti is also
worshipped in India.
They are divided into tribes,
which are termed as "clans". These are: The Omatikaya Clan (English:
Blue Flute Clan) and the Metkayina Clan. Members of the Metkayina clan have proposed
scientific name of "Homo pandorus orientalis" whereas members of the
Omatikaya clan have proposed scientific name of "Homo pandorus
pandorus".
Difference between Homo pandorus
pandorus and Homo pandorus orientalis
Homo pandorus orientalis have a
cyanic body than those who live in the jungles. Homo pandorus orientalis have
larger arms, legs, and tail known as a "strake" which help them to
live in aquatic environments, contrary to their sister subspecies.
Key characteristics of Na’vi
The key characteristics of Na’vi
are:
Na’vi possess a high-molecular
carbon fiber skeleton and the skeleton is more strong and flexible than that of
humans. This skeleton prevent Na’vi from harm due to fall. The skeleton is
light in weight. The Na’vi tribe is left handed.
Their body structure is similar
to real-word humans but their height measures about 3 meters tall.
They possess flat bifurcated
noses and pointed ears like cats that can move independently.
Humans have habits similar to
that of chimpanzees while Na’vi have habits similar to that of cats.
How do Homo pandorians connect?
In humans, there is hormone
called Oxytocin which is helpful in forming connections, forming relationships,
pair bonding, and general social interaction. In homo pandorus, this role of
oxytocin(Oxytocin including) is played by thick bundle of nerves (known as Kuru
or queue) at the back of the head. This organ plays role in forming bond with
animals, access memories of their ancestors through Eywa or in forming bond
with one another in order to view each other’s memory. This fact is really
fascinating as Na’vi’s are forming direct bond with(Eywa) through queue. In humans,
this bond is formed with gods through prayers. Humans need to communicate with
each other to perceive each other’s memories while Na’vis use their queues to
view each other’s memories, this fact make Homo pandorians more advanced
species than humans. The homo pandorian queue and oxytocin hormone in humans
are analogous(analogous organs example).
Eyes
The notable difference is that
the homo pandorian eyes are sensitive to wavelengths of light beyond into
near-infrared. With the help of their eyes, they can do nocturnal hunting. That
means they can fight in night, unlike humans who cannot. Their eye size is four
times human size.
Another notable difference is
that homo pandorus can have orange eyes while humans do not.
The advancement of these
creatures can be observed by the fact that their eyes can detect range and
speed of moving objects two to three times accurately compared to humans.
Skin
While human skin colour ranges
from black(Niyakim Gatwitch) to fair skin colour(due to quantity of melanin), Homo
pandorians have blue coloured skin, which is smooth and iridescent, which
appears within blue color spectrum, which ranges from greener cyans in oceanic
clans to deeper blues in jungle-fairing Na'vi such as the Omatikaya. While
humans have melanin responsible for colour of skin, Na’vis have cyanin pigment
which produces colors in the blue, purple and cyan spectrum.
The skin pigment interaction
with subsurface blood flow is helpful in creating the characteristic blue and
purplish shades of Na’vi skin color.
Like humans, homo pandorians have
also blood which is red.
Conclusion
With respect to eyes, skin and
queue, Homo pandorians have 3 features which make them unique and amazing.
