Nippon Eldritch Vigil

Nippon had told himself, he was different than the run of mill people, and actually he said there were 3% of people like him in the world, that simply were different, and perhaps to other people, a little stranger, for people called it absurdness, or indifference when in essence it was perhaps all that, yet those like him were, people with no impedimenta, no provisions, necessities, no baggage to carry around, or such to ricochet back to them, that he lived in a world of adumbration, one with a sketchy outline yes, a foreshadow yes, but what can one do, what one is like, is hard to change! So he had asked himself time and again, and he figured it out after long study into several ologies, and figured there was two links to Homo sapiens, it's the way God was testing the madness of man: the first being the Neanderthals, they diverged from a common ancestor in what scientists claimed there was a gap in the anthropological record, and that was the Homo heidelbergensis. He explained it all to his second mind, his mind's eye, it was simply, new genetic date caused the divergence, and its nuclear DNA was the link between the heidelbergensis homo, and the Neanderthal simply as baking a pie; this divergence perhaps took place sometime between 125,000 B.C., and 40,000 B.C., and since nuclear DNA accounts for organisms, that is to say, their construction, located in the nucleus of one's cells, this 500,000-year gap was filled once and for all by the heidelbergensis homo, and then came the forbears, the homo sapiens, that being: their diversion into the new genetic pool of what would eventual be humanity. Thus this proto-Neanderthal, became civilized in time, and through karyokninesis (the fusing of cell nuclei as in fertilization), chromosome arrangement, occurring in the cells of embryos, perhaps it was for that reason God developed some similarities. Crazy? Of course! Germs created a stir, and from the stir aroused the end product, man. And then Adam and Eve took the fork in the path (the new breed-the perfect man and woman), the wrong fork in the path, and then God allowed those Neanderthal like folk, with the heidelbergensis gene in them that they now had, mingle with God's Garden of Eden folk since there was no longer 'the Garden of Eden' per se, and what did He get, other than a pile of crickets? Today's humanity, and thus, Christendom to follow.

Now in the 21st Century, 3% of the population were like him he told himself, still with genetic material inherited from that lost maternal line, from 800,000 to 428,000 B.C., and Nippon was one of the successors.
"Now who can blame me," exclaimed Nippon to his listener, "actually, we 3% are less subject to diseases, our immune systems are stronger than the average person's, so we were cursed and blessed, less emotions, more stamina."

To Nippon, he didn't know why everyone didn't know this, since it was obvious to him, saying to himself: 'Why do people take it out on me?' But his spiritual double, had a more inebriate, or over the moon, answer, 'Had not God changed man's chemistry, there would have been an epidemic of madness! No glimmer of light for salvation!'
