Strange tale of the green children of Woolpit.

Another great little story, Alreadydead! I do love these and I shall keep them in memory storage until my grandson is old enough to have them read to him.

Thank you.

That's interesting and "biologically" possible, if the adaptive nature of Human physiology was altered to accept chlorophyll as primary carrier for oxygen..

The Heme (of hemoglobin) and Chlorophyll are nearly identical in the chemical makeup except for the central atom used for oxidation and of course the sub chains themselves, it could be used as a "support" mechanism for oxygen low environments since the only primary difference between the two , is the oxidation atom used.. Hemoglobin uses a "iron" atom (which iron oxidizes into a red tinged material, while Chlorophyll uses a "Magnesium" Atom which oxidizes into a "green tinged" material..

If the body could adapt to using chlorophyll as a primary, rather then the Iron atom, then we too, would appear green, yet could survive in a very low or "no oxygen" environment as we would be able to produce our own oxygen internally..

This could lend credence to the tail, as the children would have to have come from a very low or almost non-existent oxygen environment, and a primary diet would consist of chlorophyll enriched matter (plants)..

As the tail is told, it appears that of the two, the female was able to adapt to the oxygen rich environment, and start producing Iron based hemoglobin (though I suspect the male succumbed to the local viral infections of the day, and not as a result of adapting to an oxygen rich environment) which to myself (under this hypothetical) exactly "where" would one find a low oxygen or non-existent oxygen environment on this planet, where the sunlight is "muted", and requires organics to adapt for chlorophyll production to remain alive?..

Earth, and the sea, are the only two that come to mind currently (space would not be one of them, as the condition of space itself, would require more then oxygen, as their is an unlimited supply of harmful radiation to tend to as well as extreme opposite environmental conditions)

Interesting reply - thanks! :flop:

Although it is slightly off-topic, this book would be a nice illustration to your story :

Thanks for that link :flop:

That's a large amount of info - marked it down for review over the weekend - I can remember some stuff about it from years ago - regarded as a bit strange, even by Egyptologists!

BTW, there are some great photos from Ernst Schäfer's Deutsche Tibet-Expedition(1938) here :

I went to Turkey years ago and there was a story of a people who lived on a hilltop town who all went green. They thought it was because of the amount of vegetables they ate......but it wasn't. They all had malaria and died out.

Na Ja....

Vielen Danke Ed,Ich wusste nicht viel uber diese Erkudungen!
