Steatopygia and the Modern Venus

Ahimsa Porter Sumchai MD

I am the author of this work.

I am the author of this work. Steatopygia is a genetic trait the medical establishment does not recognize as even existing! I completed medical school, internship, general and neurological training and a two year postdoctoral fellowship at the finest universities in the country and was 70 years old before I studied steatopygia. I was astounded to find that based on my 23&Me genetic profile that my maternal haplogroup shows I descended from a line of female ancestors that can be traced back to Eastern Africa over 150,000 years ago. The specific haplogroup L1 is one of the oldest in the world. L1 branched off approximately 130,000 years ago in Eastern Africa.

Simply walking in nature and green space, gardening and earthing are enormously therapeutic.
