My last point has not been addressed, i.e., The point 6 in the OP is: but I don't think there is a similarity. Moreover, the "Narcosis while diving" does not appear until the air pressure gets above 3 atm. It is nowhere close to variations in atmospheric pressure in all other conditions mentioned in the OP article. It is also nowhere close to atmospheric pressure when people sleep.

@joigus: Here is to answer your question in another thread. I just got a neg rep, above.

Technically, this list is not a set of evidence, but rather a set of questionable similarities. More specifically (a retired SCUBA instructor is speaking here): 1. The phenomenon known to divers is not called "Narcosis while diving". It is called, "nitrogen narcosis." 2. The phenomenon is caused specifically by nitrogen and substituting it by other gases reduces or completely eliminates it. 6. The symptoms of nitrogen narcosis are not similar to sleep.

To the list of my doubts, I'd like to add that a conclusion regarding normality or peculiarity of a trait based on comparison of couple dozens of extant apes is weak. There were many times more apes during the last 15 or 20 million years. How many of the extinct apes were furless or had furless babies? Nobody knows. Humans happen to be the only ones surviving today. Even among other surviving apes, large parts of their bodies are in some of them furless or almost furless, such as lower bodies in some gorillas and faces in all of them. It is possible, that furlessness in humans is coincidental and does not have much to do with traits which "make us human."

I'm afraid it does not answer my question. A previous idea focused on constituent parts: (my emphasis) My question regarding application of this idea to electron is, what are the constituent parts of electron?

Absolutely agree. I learn languages by using them, NOT via translation. Moreover, it might be personal issue, but while I easily switch in conversation or when reading between the languages I know, I have a very hard time if I'm asked to translate what was said from one of the languages to another. This requires huge mental effort. It's like when I switch to a language the brain switches to a different mode and there is no direct connection between the modes. BTW, here is the ASL sign you've mentioned: PAST-YOUR-EYES-MILK-[pasteurized-milk]-[pun] - YouTube

One part of the OP that was not addressed yet, I think, is the mention of "infinity ... inconceivable for us." I agree that infinity is a complex notion, but I disagree that it is inconceivable. Though, like in other parts of the OP, it is not clear what they mean.

This "trait" of furless babies might be simply a delay of development of the secondary sexual characteristic. Then, it is not selected one way or another. The one variation it allows for is in duration of the delay until maturity, and this I think in fact varies between populations.

Maybe this very simple computer example will make clear how useless is DNA by itself. Let's take this "DNA" code: 60 00 00 80 A4 00 00 00 60 01 00 84 A4 01 01 00 60 02 00 00 60 03 00 04 60 04 00 00 60 05 00 01 08 00 00 02 20 00 00 03 20 04 04 05 11 20 04 01 and "seed" it somewhere. Nothing meaningful will happen unless it is "seeded" in a very specific place in memory of a very specific computer, in which case a number of zeroes will be written starting at a memory location, where the starting location is given at the memory address 0x80 and the number of zeroes is given at the memory address 0x84.

No. Everybody should be skeptical toward their religion.

The same tendency is inherent in ASL, I think (as little as I know it.) Specifics can be signed but are signed only when necessary.

If they are not electrically insulated from the ground, they discharge via ground. The other questions above would be better answered by better informed people.

In short, "just-so stories."

Respect has to be earned.

How does it apply to, e.g., electron?

Why is it so? Why could not this trait evolve multiple times independently in separate human populations?

Yes. It applies to good electrical conductors. They will eventually discharge via air.

Hence, humans originated on a tropical island.

I live in tropics, and we have rainy season. The rainy season is wet, but certainly not cold. I often sit under a tree and enjoy the sound and the smell of rain.

I understand that the sign 去 is vague. My question is if what they say is as vague as the writing?

Alternatively, they could have two conductors attached, the charges redistributed by induction, and then the conductors detached, one positively and another negatively charged.

Spam, spam, spam, ...

1. Right. 2. Friction, induction, electrolysis, photoconductivity. 3. No. 4. Depends.

As the French language evolves, they could either stop using pronouns, or start using simpler forms of verbs. In Hebrew, for example, children and less educated adults would say, "Were you looking for me?", while a literary form is one word (achipastani?), which contains the verb, the tense, the subject, the object, and the question.
