Frank Herbert’s DUNE novels and Haplogroups: In answer to a question in the May 19 2017 vidchat Dr. Farrell speculated that biometrically activated DNA technologies might depend on strong genome characteristics appearing in certain clans or tribes in order to reify the potentialities of the mitochondrial Eves+Adam state.
This reminds me of the central theme of Herbert’s DUNE novels where the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood (well born) are obsessed with breeding tables in order to incarnate the Kwisatz Haderach (Cosmic male Androgyne) who would have mental powers to see throughout time and space….
The technology there is chemical and genetic convergence of some topological region of Self ?
As for the ghola (golems ?) and Face Dancers was Herbert repositioning the alchemy of Transhumanism seen in Wilde and Shelley ?

Good point
Ah.. Dune.. again..
Interesting that they used a film that essentially talks about a Messiah turning up in the Desert, taking the desert tribes and starting a Jihad, for their MK theta experiments.. but thats the film..
The Novels.. Yes.. Breeding programs, this time controlled by the women, for the mt DNA, interestingly enough, they also prefered interlineal mingling.. (SPOILER ALERT PLEASE DO NOOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT YET READ DUNE /////)
Jessica being the daughter of the Vladimir Harkonnen was to have a daughter, to be bred with Feyd-Rautha, who was the son of Abulurd Rabban, the half brother of Vladimir Harkonnen. So there you would have had, Barons granddaughter, marrying his nephew (by a half brother.. its possibly by another mother)
The Sumerian Gods were really interested in their half brothers and sisters..
The Baron also notes that the “full and pouting look” of Feyd’s lips is “the Harkonnen genetic marker”
Dont forget the mentats.. Human computers.. MK was trying to do that as well..
“The use of the term “transhuman” goes back to Jesuit priest, philosopher and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin., the “Catholic Darwin,” who through his postulation that man would create the Noosphere, a supreme consciousness, is often regarded as the patron saint of the internet.”
“The biologist and eugenicist Julian Huxley, who was once head of UNESCO and whose brother Aldous was one of the leading architects of MK-Ultra, popularizing the use of psychedelics, is generally regarded as the founder of “transhumanism.””
