just wondering if the consideration that the Australian Aboriginl
actually lack the evolution of the liver to create the de
hydrogisation of alcohol could be a clue to inability to expel the
uric acid (The preparation of the substance taken in ritual for
enlightenment weather or not there was a fermenting process)
I only have general knowledge of any where else than the austrailan
east coast and the people that lived here but there were no
fermentation or even substace injested during the rituals excluding
The ritual or clensing by the smoke of the fire and the substance
burnt any way This has interest for me medicinaly in a wholistic way
the interesting way that a races susceptibility through lack of
cultural exposure to a process. the answer is in the evolution of our
Genes.All excitingly interesting!
That's all very well but Australian Aborigini will produce endoginous
alcohol in the same way that does everyone else. Clearly their
metabolism copes with that.

so there is nothing clear about the abillity for the Aboriginal
Aboriginals to deal with any distillation and fermentation process ( a
glass bottle with hydrocloric acid rotten fruit and sugar
(endoginous?) as it was just not present during the 250000 years they
were evolving isolated on their own continental plate with therir own
unique environment 230 years of exposure to the poisions man enjoys to
create and utilise is no time at all on the evolutionary chain now POT
is in Your Genes. But man has to play with that too! Are you privie to
some covert scientific study or teaching in a biology 101
The first people of Australia have no been there for 250000 years.
Indeed there were no modern humans of any kind 250000 years ago.
Modern humans emerged from Africa no earlier than 110000bp and reached
Australia around 40000bp.
Many "native" peoples are beleived to have intolerance to alcohol. I
heard that North Americans and especially "Eskimos" owing to their
high fat and protien are less able to metabolise carbohydrates, and as
alcohol is a carbohydrate they have more likely to get drunk on less:
one reason why the USA governement allows duty free spirits in the
reservations!
Whether this phenomenon is genetic, epigenetic or has to do with
lifestyle is, as far as I know unknown: unless you can point me to a
study.
