ZetaTalk: Hybrid

asynchronous

breathing - a latent capacity.

Where our current digestive system is rudimentary, having been eliminated in preference to a cleaner, quicker form of

nourishment intake via our nutrient baths, the genetics controlling digestion are a factor to be considered when

merging genetics in the hybrids. What did our digestive systems used to be, and how did these differ? The human diet

is voluminous and fibrous, reflecting the diet of the base apes that formed the human race, and in truth reflecting the

reality of vegetation on your planet and the adaptation that animals evolving on your planet were forced to deal with. If

an animal is vegetarian, and most are, they eat continuously, defecate frequently, and deal with digestive gasses. Few

animals become successful predators, an obvious fact as if all were predators there would soon be nothing to prey

upon. So humans have as their base an animal that eats masses of fibrous vegetation, daily.

We Zetas, on our world, had a different diet. Our world was not sunny and bright, and the vegetation thus not as

evolved. Mosses, bugs, algae, crustaceans, and when we ate almost nothing went to waste. If forced to eat your diet we

would digest the fiber, but would also be unable to consume enough to retrieve the necessary nutrition. In our hybrids

we have attempted to take the best of both worlds. Humans, we feel sure, would not object to less farting and burping.

We have retained the more complete digestive capabilities of the Zetas, while adjusting this to allow for the types of

foods your world offers. In the highly civilized world of the future, cultivation will focus on those foods that return the

highest nutrition. Less eating, less elimination, virtually no digestive gasses, and surprisingly constipation will not be a

concern as the shape of the bowel, being a single straight shoot, lends itself to guaranteed elimination.

The physiological work assigned to organs such as the kidney and liver is essentially the same in both Zetas and

humans, but how this work is accomplished varies. In humans the kidney works constantly, filtering waste, but in the

Zeta click in only when certain blood chemicals raise to a level requiring attention. Like the heart, which rests between

beats, the Zeta kidney rests between Zeta meals. The reason for this pacing is the more complete absorption of

nutrients in the Zeta digestive tract, placing a burden on the kidneys which then require a rest period in which to

recoup. Likewise, the Zeta liver is a workhorse that goes the distance after meals and requires a recuperative period.

Zetas who overeat get more than overweight, they get sick. Our thinness is not due solely to genetic tendencies, we

simply do not overeat. Do the Zetas store fat as humans do? Yes and no. We have this capacity but our physiology

does not make use of it ordinarily. Since we do not digest excess food without getting sick, our bodies keep all

nutrition at the ready, as a store to be used up before the next meal. No packing it away in fat cells, no saving it for a

later day. Our hybrids have the best of both worlds. They are slender because their physiology uses, rather than stores

nutrition, and their appetites pace accordingly. But should they for any reason decide to overeat, they do not suffer as we, the Zetas, do.

ZetaTalk: Physiology Differences

The Zeta were selected for production of a hybrid race with humans in part because our physiologies are similar. Our

blood is also hemoglobin based, and where a chemist would find all the many Zeta blood components differing from

comparable human blood components in quantity and composition, the differences are not dramatic. Likewise with the

endocrine systems, which have comparable glands and functions. Here, however, there is one dramatic difference. The

Zeta do not sleep, though there are regular rest periods where activity essentially stops. This difference appeared in the

Zetas during our 3rd Density existence, when many of our number were warlike. The guard who did not sleep

survived, and thus the trait became dominant. There are blood chemistry differences in humans between the wakeful

and sleep states, but in the Zeta these differences do not appear. Our hybrids sleep, as we have found the physiology

more resilient when able to rest. However, the sleep requirements are much reduced, requiring perhaps 1/5, rather than

1/3 of the day, and the onset of sleep deprivation does not occur with our hybrids, who are able to bear through

without sleep if need be.

ZetaTalk: Human Traits

Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

Regarding desirable human traits. Human emotions are something we are including, along with many other

characteristics. The list would be too long to include in its entirety, but we will mention a few. Your hair and soft skin,

although we haven't had much luck with hair. Your desire for touch. The physical relationship of parents and

caregivers to young, where nursing and holding and rocking are prevalent. We hope to include the ability to nurse, and

are having luck with the desire to touch and hold. The sex drive is definitely included, and where this drive varies

among our hybrids, this is in proportion to the variance among humans, we have found.
