Homo Sapiens Tripedis
Anatomical and physiological characteristics
Homo Sapiens Tripedis have an elongated spine that touches the ground. They sometimes seem to be sitting on it like on a third leg, hence their name. However, this Columna Vertebralis is very light and delicately structured, more of an idea, and not really suited to sit on. A Tripedis can coil this dynamic limb around their waist, or touch their head with the tip of their tail. Their balance doesn’t seem to be affected by the length of this additional extremity, as one might expect it would.
In Homo Sapiens Sapiens, the tail-bone is located between the buttocks as the last part of the spine, and is therefore extraordinarily vulnerable to impact. The stumpy end of the spine seems amputated and often causes tension and bad moods in this species.
In Homo Sapiens Tripedis the last vertebra is a feathery, elastic, tapering limb. The nerve cords at the upper end of the spinal column seem to have formed reciprocally to the dance-like extension at their lower end. The optic nerves and the visual cortex in the brain are exceedingly developed. This is probably why the mirror-neurons in this human species have evolved to an exceptional degree.
Homo Sapiens Tripedis can “translate” what they feel (in the other) into conscious knowledge and language. Maybe they have telepathic abilities. At least it could be said that while sitting on their tails, they have the calm to observe and therefore they know things that they cannot really know. [2]
The voices of Homo Sapiens Tripedis are very bright, but also full and warm.
Notes and References
- ↑ The Tripedis were registered as a separate human species in earlier studies and located in temperate steppe regions, but without precise dating. They were therefore considered extinct. In these studies they also appear under the name Homo Suricata.
See also: Savannah hypothesis, and the theory of transmutation by Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck.However, these views remain unsatisfactory. The particular development of the visual cortex as a consequence of tripedality and the resulting complex mental developments point to distinctly cooperative forms of thought and thus to a much later emergence of this species or to a further evolution of Homo Suricata.
More recent research therefore focuses on the special inner attitudes of the Tripedis people and searches for these traits in modern humans.

We assume that they can hear thoughts like widely ramified streams. From our perspective, the question here is whether and if so how they process such a variety of thought traces and draw conclusions from them (i.e. also evaluate them!), or whether they simply register them as a constantly changing flow.

Mind-reading is the basis (for children) for all forms of shared conceptual background. (...) It is the first step on the way to shared knowledge, shared attention, a shared cognitive context and intersubjectivity through collective action with a shared goal.
We therefore have to ask ourselves: What is the evolutionary advantage of these specific forms of "mind-reading" in Homo Sapiens Tripedis?
