Synopsis :
Wearing successive layers of rotting coarse-weave clothing is much healthier than
washing .
Discussion :
Ancient travelers (Herodotus , etc) always commented on the barbarian habit of
wearing clothes till they fell apart , then simply putting new ones over them .
Why weren't these barbarians zapped by plagues , while the cleanies were ?
What gives ?
The clothing layers
1. Inner coarse weave , made by felting , coarse weave processes . Involving milk ,
lactogen and fermentation bacteria . These generate heat . Sweat is utilized to
generate heat in fermentation . As the fuel is exhausted , the fibres of the cloth
disintegrate and fall off in an active life-style .
The coarse weave forms pockets of air , which are heated by the fermentation
processes .
Basically , a hot air suit analogous to diving hotsuits .
4. Macro Parasites :
The broken coarse fibres in the inner layers act like scissors to break probosces .
Remember the active lifestyle . There is lots of mechanical movement .
If the person becomes still , probably death from some plague .
Move or die .
Hence the ability of Mongols to survive in the heartland of the Black Death .
5. Micro parasites :
The inner layers of air-material are saturated with immune-friendly bacteria (from the
lactogen processes) , as well as immune-system elements proceeding to the outside of
the skin in a friendly environment .
This makes penetration by hostile pathogens very difficult .
6. Fashion .
Some bacteria were better than others in generating heat and retaining air cushions .
Built-in farts .
These were selected for .
Are still there . Spaceflight fans note .
"My Armani Mongol Biopants keep my balls warm even in space."
7. SuperNappies .
Mongols were renowned for spending days in the saddle without stop in subzero
temperatures . How could they do it ?
SuperNappies , of course .
Warm urine was recycled and fed the bioreactor in the coarse-weave nappy to keep
the balls and bum warm in the saddle , while gas generation kept the seat bouncy .
Without causing chafing (hint: milky proteins used in felt manufacture)
An elegant solution .
8. Vitamins
Fashionable lines of clothing had bacteria that manufactured vitamins needed by
humans
Vit D springs to mind . A fur outer layer made of UV conductors (like many "white"
furs ) will enhance Vit D production .
Others are left to the dear reader .
9. Eskimo's
They did not have coarse vegetable fibres and milk . Instead , they inverted fur and
smeared it with fats and activated bacteria , making a really cosy environmental suit ,
mit vitamins and all .
10. Laplanders .
Somewhere in between Mongols and Eskimo's
But , note heavy preponderance of long-term cold-adapted Neanderthal genes .
13 . Bumpity-bump infertility .
An Epigenetic switch . Too much running or riding causes friction , This causes heat .
Heat chaperones get activated . These activate epigenetic switches , indicating that the
system as a whole is under stress . This activates infertility switches .
But bathing after exercise decreases temperature rapidly , aborting the whole
epigenetic switching process . Resulting in higher fertility for both men and women .
This is why everybody washes these days . Not hygiene . Simply outbred .
14 . Speaking Mongolian .
Saying that we are not speaking Mongolian because they did not bathe seems extreme
, but that is where the evidence leads us . Mongols never had the population explosion
the English speaking peoples had . This is because of lack of bathing .
This is why you are reading this in English , instead of Mongolian .
