                                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.
