The crater looks like something prehistoric, almost primordial, but it is, in fact, an agave oven, used to make mezcal – the drink sometimes called tequila's father – and I'm on a day-long mezcal tour to find out more about it.
Although describing the proximate mechanisms involved in the dynamics of populations and ecosystems is a challenging task, it is primordial to take into account the fact that organisms are the result of a long evolution process.
In this (19 × 4 = 76) model, the intermediate (19 × 2 = 38) state is in fact equivalent to the primordial tRNA hairpin in the Di Giulio's model.
These rely on the fact that 232Th is a primordial radioisotope, but 230Th only occurs as an intermediate decay product in the decay chain of 238U.
And yet, we have been conditioned to want, want, want that deep-fried, coated, crispy, salty, crunchy, fatty whatever that only feeds a primordial desire implanted in our brains, but in fact destroys our bodies and, obviously, our ability to think clearly.
Distinguishing them from each other is however primordial, particularly if DIRS-like elements are in fact more frequent that previously supposed.
