ture for every living thing, including man. Man learned to dig wells and reach the un-
derground waters independently of the places of its output to the surface of the planet.
This is how the things were anywhere on the planet. But the likeness is over thereon
and differences appear. Certainly, water remains water, but its chemical composition
differs in a pretty wide range.

The content of salts and microelements, acidity or alkalinity of water changes
from place to place. The chemical composition of water differs especially dramatical-
ly in different climatic zones. This is because of the fact that before the rain-water
comes to the surface, it passes through the soil, and soils differ greatly from each oth-
er both in different climatic zones and within the limits of each climatic zone. Thus,
the rain-water, leaking through the soil, absorbs minerals, microelements, etc from it.
Because of the fact that the chemical composition of the soil is different, the rain-
water absorbs different minerals and microelements.

Thus, the water chemical composition in different climatic zones differs pretty
widely. Let us remember that water, on average, makes up 70 percent of the weight
of living matter. Therefore, the chemical composition of water greatly influences bio-
chemical processes in the cells of any living organism, both vegetable and animal:
and man is no exception, however, not only water differs. Man is an omnivorous liv-
ing organism, which means he eats both edible plants (their fruits, roots, seed,
leaves and stems) and edible animals (the meat of mammals, reptiles, amphibians,
birds, fishes and other inhabitants of seas and oceans). The types of plants and an-
imals which man eats qualitatively and quantitatively differ from one climatic zone to
another.

For example, the variety of the vegetable world of the Equatorial Zone cannot be
comparable with the poverty of the vegetable world of the Arctic Zone. In principle,
there was not even a single identical plant which people who live in those climatic
zones could grow and use as food (except for the last century). And this is true, to a
greater or lesser degree, for all the other climatic zones of Midgard-earth. These
would seem to be obvious things which are not worthy of our attention. It would be
so, if it were not for one little “but”. Fruits, roots and etc. of the plants of the Equa-
torial Zone differ from that of, for example, the Temperate Zone in the chemical
composition of the organic and inorganic matters like heaven and earth. For exam-
ple, very many plants of the Equatorial Zone contain some quantity of narcotic mat-
ters which the plants of the Temperate Zone do not have. Also, we have to take into
account that herbivorous animals eat plants of those climatic zones in which they
live. As a consequence, the chemical composition of the herbivorous animals’
meat from different climatic zones also will be different, as will the chemical com-
position of the meat of the carnivorous animals which eat the herbivores. Thus, the
“cuisine” in different climatic zones differs in its quantitative and qualitative com-
position of chemical matters.

Therefore four races which lived in different climatic zones for millennia con-
sumed food and drank water which had a different chemical composition. When we
add all this to the genetic differences we will get pretty strong distinctions in metab-
olism as a result. It turns out that the four races differ considerably in their biochem-
