Remains of the Liketa Human (Homo Ovis Sapicidae) have been found in North America in the Appalachian region and are believed to date back to 185,000 YA. Through extensive research, scientists have found that the Liketa’s skull has the attributes of a Human (Homo Sapien), a Woodpecker (Picidae) and a Bighorn Sheep (Ovis Canadensis). Scientists believe that the Liketa can withstand forces up to 350,000g to the head, and not suffer any injuries or brain trauma. Analysis reveals that this is due to similar skull traits carried by the Bighorn Sheep (which can withstand 346,700g) and the Woodpecker (which can withstand 1200g). For comparison, a Human experiences concussion when impacts reach 80-100g. Liketa’s muscles, along with its hollow pneumatic horn core attached to its respiratory system, slow the return of blood from the head to the body, thus increasing blood volume that fills the brain’s vascular tree. This creates an effect that allows the brain to fit closely to the skull, minimizing the impacts within the skull. Scientists are unsure of what this protection was used for, however, multiple collectors of this artifact have stated that the Liketa Human would make an unstoppable football player.
