The results are interesting:
1 THAIS CANT LOOK ROUND
It seems, after physical studies, that Thai people genuinely do have an extra bone between the bottom of their skulls and their shoulders. This results in a much stiffer neck that is incapable of looking backward over their shoulders.
Prolonged evolutionary forces have now resulted in a Thai person having a complete lack of rear spatial awareness...if its behind them it aint there.
Evidence of this can be seen on any street at any time of day, usually when either a car suddenly reverses into you, or some bint on a bike suddenly pushes their bike backwards out into the road sending you swerving wildly.
2 THAIS CANT LOOK DOWN
An interesting knock on effect is that Thais are also incapable of looking down.
This results in them dropping stuff on the floor, then leaving it there till a farang comes along and picks it up after tripping over it for the third or fourth time.
It seems the spatial awareness problem at 1 above also applies whenever a thai drops anything out of their hands apart from money or a mobile phone. Litter is completely invisible to a Thai.
3 THAI EYES
These are a fascinating evolution of farang eyes. For example, it seems there are different lens systems at play, as Thais are incapable of judging distance and momentum.
This is shown when a Thai pulls out of a sideroad in a car. If the approaching vehicle is a long way away, they will creep slowly out at crawling speed, wheras if it is close they shoot out. This is of course the reverse of what farangs do.
Further evidence is the Thai habit of being unable to drive on a road unless they are 6 inches off the back of the other vehicle.
Early indications are that Thais cant see further than the ends of their noses.
Thais are also apparently universally colour blind, apart from a developed sense of brown and white. Brown raises feelings of concern and low esteem. Hence the colour of the plod uniforms.
4 MUSCULAR ATROPHY
After millenia of evolution Thais are now completely incapable of prolonged excercise such as walking further than the length of one house. Trips to the corner shops are now major expeditions requiring at least two women on a motorbike. A 10 minute walk to the ATM is now equivalent to a trip to the moon requiring an extensive planning discussion and a plate of som tam.
When muscles do have to be used to propel Thais about these are used in low impact mode resulting in an apparent ability to move backwards, or at least forwards slower than a snail.
5 TEMPRATURE SENSITIVITY
Thais seem completely unable to sense cold or heat unless it is connected to the natural environment.
Whereas a Thai can say a day is hot because its sunny, they are incapable of saying a room is too cold because the air con is on full. They are in effect unable to sense artifically induced climate control unless it is so extreme as to be life threatening.
This may be an evolutionary offshoot of their apparently fiberglass taste buds and deep joy at eating food that could viably be used to strip varnish off wood.
We are researching links between this phenomena and similar thermal variance insensitivity shown by builders, designers and managers of American shopping malls.
6 SHORT TERM MEMORY
Thais seem to have a highly selective way of assembling and storing short term memory blocks, which precludes their remembering to turn off lights and fans, close doors, replace stocks of water in fridges and toilet rolls in loos etc.
A Pavlov's Dogs style training regime, where reminders are constantly given prompting the Thai subject to do these things, fails miserably once the constant reminders stop.
Household items like keys and mobile phones seem totally blind spots to Thai short term memories. Given these items they are almost completely incapable of remembering where they put them 5 minutes before.
..............................................
Our conclusions are that Thais indeed do seem to be a unique offshoot of Homo Erectus.
We will continue with our studies into this new evolution of mankind, and will report our results further as they develop.
