Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – FURTHER DIFFERENCES
There was something about Satu Ra’s smile which bothered Pallmann: his teeth never showed. Perhaps this had something to do with the rather different jaw formation and the fact that his long, thin and sensitive lips always seemed to cover the teeth completely. Pallmann’s curiosity had not gone unnoticed. Satu explained that, for many thousands of years, men and women on his planet had lived without teeth, gradually finding them unnecessary. However, on Earth, they did use a type of artificial support that kept the shape of their mouths similar to those of humans. On closer inspection, Pallmann noticed that Satu and Xiti had rather small tongues.
Pallmann’s wish to inspect his friends’ fingers was also granted graciously. When the protective covers were removed, the differences were immediately apparent. In contrast to the feminine hand, the male fingertips are flat and round, like little discs. Extremely sensitive they must be as there are no nails whatever, with the very rosy, fine and soft flesh extending to the very end of each finger.
Xiti’s hands were a true masterwork of nature: pointed and extremely thin, very long, entirely different from her brother’s. Both Satu and Xiti appeared to be very amused at Pallmann’s mystification.
‘But because of their kindness and frankness they came so much closer to my heart,’ he added. ‘They spoke to me like real friends, telling me also the reason for these differences. ‘It seems that they are able to analyse sound, and perhaps are even able to “hear” through the sensitive nerves of their fingertips. Also, at later times, I became sure of the fact that they were using their fingers as we would use our tongues for tasting and exploring, specially when doing biological research work . . .
