LOVE YOUR OUTSIDER TO DEATH

Stephen King deserves, from time to time, and some might say always, we go back to older works and read them again or watch them again. This Outsider is a perfect case.

Stephen King blends together some old mythology that has to do with the oldest populations in the Americas, and in this case those from South America and Mesoamerica. Their legends and mythologies have a lot to do with the same in Southeast Asia and all the islands, small or big, of the South Pacific, not with those of Siberia.

These populations must have arrived in South Chile and on the West coast of South America sometime around 30,000 BCE. They inherited the DNA of the South Pacific Homo Sapiens that included an 8 to 10 % Denisovan DNA that enabled them to live at high altitudes with a level of oxygen a lot lower than at normal altitudes. A trait they must share with Tibetan humans in the Himalayas.

The necessary research on the DNA of these populations has not been done yet because it implies a migration from the South Pacific to Chile and maybe Peru and a constant movement north with the meeting with those coming from Siberia somewhere in North Mexico and more probably in South and Southwest USA.

That’s Stephen King’s context and it is fascinating. But do not make the mistake of seeing El Cuco as an Extraterrestrial. He probably is either a humanoid being having gone through phenomenal mutations, a humanoid being from an alternative level of reality, or a simple figment of the imagination of Homo Sapiens since they started being able to invent stories and communicate them orally to other people something like 300,000 BCE.
