Hypothetical vampire theory.

[onishadowolf]

It seems to have come to my attention that there were several hominoid creatures around when Homo Sapiens were first poping up. Could it be possible for a species of the homo genus to develop a predatory relationship with the Homo Sapiens. A species that had some kind of genetic defect, something with the blood and they evolved around that. Just go with me on this, they say evolution doesn't stop so, after said species evolved predatory functions that allowed them to take down large animals single handed, they ran across Homo Sapiens just starting the walking thing. The predatory species(which I will now call Homo Lamia)made the Homo Sapiens their primary prey, thus evolving more sophisticated hunting techniques and predatory attributes, and the Homo Sapiens learned to run and developed a fear of the dark,Lol.
And lets say the Homo Lamia developed technologically faster then Homo Sapiens, so by the second stone age the Homo Lamia were at a industrial age or further along. Then during a more enlightened age Homo Lamia stopped their predatory relationship with Homo Sapiens and started a propaganda campaign to make themselves into myths.

Just thought I would get some thoughts on it.

You should look into the "Midnighter" series of young adult novels. I think you'll like where they go with the basis of your idea...

[onishadowolf]

Someone else told me that too. Hmmm.... I'll have to check it when I get some extra cash.

[Moloch]

No need to wait, just go to your local public library. Make sure that you read them in order, too, all three of them.

[onishadowolf]

My library got revoked after one of the hurricanes down here. Somehow they have a book on record that I never returned, though I never heard of the book.

[SherlawkDragon]

Sounds a bit like the vampires in Sanctuary (with Amanda Tapping)...
But you know, if the hypothetical species interbred with humans, this could be an explanation for real Vampirism. (though I'm not going to back or support that idea)

[Levinthross]

i think its very plausible it also brings up several thoughts on and theorys about witches

[onishadowolf]

Glad I peaked some peoples interests.

[Levinthross]

as always im just wondering how would the intermingling if beings technicaly more genetically advanced than us plays a role in are genetics and spirituality

[onishadowolf]

My dear friends, you need some need fair amount more knowledge of genetics. It's a matter of placing some of thier unique RNA coders into our DNA(RNA coders produce unique gene codes in DNA;RNA came before DNA)
Thus giving humans certain traits to pass on. No interspecies breeding needed.

[Levinthross]

i understand genetics i was trying to ask that if vampires had arisen this way a subset of the homo sapien evolutionary lighn which evolved and prospered before we came to be
as we are now then technically they would be a different species more evolved then are own. if they were to breed sexually which is the way im assuming sherlawk was speaking, of then what
would happen to the genome of the homo lamia/sapien offspring because i have no clue how the co mingling of evolutionarily advanced creatures homo lamia with homo sapien would effect there genetic code.
the rns coder model you presented would only be possible if the vampires in question could reproduce through there bite or by some other means of inserting there d.n.a within human cells making there own code somwewhat viral.


so for example what would the genetics of the offspring (if possible) of a person and a chimp. where here the person is more evolved
than the chimp but also a primape and thus having common ancestors , where the person representing homo lamia chimp representing people.

[Moloch]

The offspring would be a slightly more intelligent form of chimp, also slightly larger, and probably a lot more violent than either species was alone.
