I would love it if I had some help with something other than a straight up pain pill. My body hurts all the time with arthritis and from using a cane for the past several years. To be able to simply move around again without constant pain would be a Godsend.
"The world-wide population of human beings skidded so sharply we were down to roughly a thousand reproductive adults."
This is a completely mind blowing idea that humans were down to a count of about 1000 adults. Look at us now at 7 billion, and we just can't stop warring with our fellow relatives.
