Chapter 2706 Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens
"You say that..."
Li Yao thought for a while, "I seem to remember that many archaeologists have indeed unearthed a kind of ancient human skulls that are not quite the same as ours in the depths of some planets in the empire, 'Ni people', the early The rivals of Homo sapiens, taller, stronger, and almost infinitely stronger than our direct ancestors, are really like gray mud towers."
"That's right, the survival advantage of the Neanderthals is not just as simple as being tall and strong, but more importantly, their brains and genes."
Zhuge Jinglun said, "The Nüwa people have implanted a lot of obvious technologies and knowledge into the genes of the Nepalese. As long as the brains of the Nepalese children gradually mature and secrete special hormones, they can naturally awaken these talents and learn how to use them. Farming, smelting and fighting, even how to refine warships and transform planets.
"It can be said that Nigerians are born to be qualified farmers, miners and warriors, just like tigers are born to be the best hunters, they are born to refine warships, just like zebras are born to run, cats are born to crawl like a tree.
"This is exactly the original purpose of the 'human' race, a kind of flesh and blood puppets that can self-reproduce and continuously expand their population, and can automatically serve their master, the Pangu Alliance, for a long time, isn't it?"
"It sounds... very powerful, and very good."
Li Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, "But you said just now that the Nepalese are 'the first generation of human beings with flaws', where are the flaws?"
"They're neither creative nor curious."
Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly and said, "Look, the Nuwa tribe has engraved all the knowledge and technology into their genes, which is enough to help them deal with most animals and plants at that time except the Pangu thirteen tribes. They are almost Perfection has no natural enemies.
"So, they need neither curiosity nor creativity, they just need to behave according to instinct like other sluggish beasts, but they never know the meaning of life.
"They may be able to build a battleship with bare hands, which can turn a resource planet with a harsh environment into a pleasant scenery, but they never think about the meaning of this matter, just like when a cheetah pounces on a zebra, they don't think about it. Will think about the meaning of this matter, he or it, just... alive.
"What exactly is creativity? Creativity is the ability to keep making mistakes, a hundred mistakes, a thousand mistakes, ten thousand of the most ridiculous mistakes, but one of them will shine brightly, It will produce unexpected and wonderful consequences, this is evolution, and this is creativity!
"Ni people don't have this ability, all their knowledge and skills are gifted by God, they are predestined, their shape has reached perfection, they never think about changing, and there is no need to change at all, they have no curiosity There is nothing worthy of their curiosity. If they are allowed to reproduce for tens of thousands of years and reproduce for a thousand generations, then there will be no change from the first generation to the last generation. Evolution, creation, mutation... all do not exist .”
Li Yao gradually understood.
It is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws. Talents inherited directly through genetics, as well as strong curiosity and creativity are probably two different evolutionary directions that cannot be compatible.
"The Pangu people are quite satisfied with the early products of the 'Niren', but the Nuwa people frown on their own works."
Zhuge Jinglun continued, "Perhaps at that time, many demons had already got into the minds of the Nuwa tribe. How could they like the style of the demons and the Nuwa tribe who are enthusiastic and unrestrained, advocating disorder, chaos, vitality and creation?" What about the Nepalese?
"Therefore, the Nuwa tribe told the other twelve prehistoric races that the Ni people have fatal flaws and are not enough to serve as the most loyal servants of the Pangu Alliance. They still need a new generation with more complete functions and more balanced aspects. The key is more independent and creative humans.
"The Pangu tribe is noncommittal to this statement, but after all, 'creating humans' is the work of the Nuwa tribe. Even the Pangu tribe, as the leader, has to respect the opinions of the Nuwa tribe and reluctantly agree to let them create a second batch of humans. Come test it out and compare it with the Neanderthals.
"In this way, we have our direct ancestor, Homo sapiens.
"Compared with Neanderthals, the defects of Homo sapiens are obvious. Our direct ancestors were small in stature, prone to anger and fear. In terms of strength, they were not as good as some gorillas, and they could even be killed by tigers without using tools. Killed by a lion, the most important thing is that the Nuwa tribe removed all the innate supernatural powers in their genes. Every Homo sapiens is a blank sheet of paper when it is just born, and it must be taught by word of mouth. Teach them skills, and once they die, the skills they have accumulated so hard are annihilated, and the new Homo sapiens is still blank."
"From what you say, our direct ancestors seem to be useless!"
Li Yao frowned.
"On the surface, yes."
Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly and said, "So, when the Nuwa tribe presented this new generation of 'upgraded version' in front of the entire alliance, the other twelve prehistoric races were dumbfounded and laughed dumbfounded.
"Perhaps at that time, the thirteen prehistoric carbon-based races more or less possessed some innate supernatural powers, ancestral memories, and exceptionally active genetic genes. Their innate talents were too strong, so strong that they would suppress curiosity and creativity— — Just like cancer cells eroding the living space of normal cells, so, including the Pangu race, no prehistoric carbon-based race could think of a brand-new life that has no natural talent and supernatural powers, but stimulates creativity and curiosity to the extreme Form, how terrifying... power can erupt.
"Because we are born blank slates, we are filled with an insatiable curiosity and desire to explore the wonderful new world around us; and because our skills are learned rather than inherited, we We will keep making mistakes, thinking, summarizing and even questioning what the predecessors taught us, questioning all authority, questioning all unquestionable laws and regulations; just because we were so weak at the beginning, our desire for "powerfulness" Far superior to all other intelligent beings, our ancestors understood the nature of 'human being' at a deeper level than their creators even at the beginning of their birth!
"At that time, the entire Pangu Alliance was ignorant of our power, and it was only at the insistence of the Nuwa tribe that they chose a few planets as laboratories, as... the arena for the Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. "
Li Yao was engrossed in listening, until now, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "In the end, Homo sapiens defeated the Ni people."
"Yes, but much more than that."
A grotesque smile gradually appeared on Zhuge Jinglun's face, "At the beginning of this special survival experiment, the Neanderthals easily defeated almost all Homo sapiens by virtue of their innate supernatural powers. At the worst time, the number of Homo sapiens dropped to The 5% at the peak had to hide in rock crevices and trembling in the depths of the jungle.
"However, the exuberant desire for exploration, thirst for knowledge, and desire for survival transformed the surviving Homo sapiens at an astonishing speed, causing them to rush on the road of evolution. They not only stole the magic weapon of the Neanderthals, but also slowly learned They also improved these technologies and magic weapons through the different environmental characteristics of different planets. In the end, Homo sapiens on all planets defeated the Neanderthals without exception, and... ate them up.
"Heifeng King should know the next thing. Homo sapiens has proved itself to be the best 'tool' with its indisputable performance. They were wary of curiosity, but the Nuwa tribe took out the "way of perfection, the three original principles" as a constraint, and dispelled the concerns of the Pangu tribe. The main template, mass-produced human beings, spread to the entire sea of stars.
"Who knew that part of the Nuwa clan had already been eroded by the demons at that time, and the 'Three Origin Principles' might not be so indestructible. In the later prehistoric civil war, the awakening and rise of human beings was out of control."
"Is this your fabrication, or is there any solid evidence?"
Li Yao asked, "Why does it sound like I'm telling a story?"
"Half and half, archaeologists and prehistoric historians do have a lot of evidence, although not enough, just like the stars shining in the night sky."
Zhuge Jinglun smiled and said, "I just connected these stars into lines and outlined each constellation."
"But your story is fatally flawed."
Li Yao pointed to the Holy League below and said, "Since the Neanderthals were wiped out by homo sapiens in the 'survival experiment' hundreds of thousands of years ago, how could these people be the descendants of the Neanderthals?
"As far as I know, the first batch of members of the Holy League were obviously created by the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. What's more, many members of the Holy League are transformed from normal people on the side of the empire. Any normal person can It is possible to be brainwashed and transformed into Holy League members, they are all descendants of the Ni people?"
"No, no, you didn't hear what I just said clearly."
Zhuge Jinglun said calmly, "I didn't say 'eliminate' just now. I just said that Homo sapiens ate up the Neanderthals and merged them. They are all our ancestors, but the proportion of Homo sapiens' genes is relatively large. That's all.
"You can simply understand that 90% of our genes come from Homo sapiens, 10% of our genes come from Neanderthals, and the part of genes from Neanderthals is usually suppressed and in a dormant state, just like another human subspecies. Kind of like the 'yaozu', we actually carry a lot of yaozu genes in our bodies, so normal people who drink the holy water of chaos can also mutate into the yaozu, can't they?
"In fact, there are too many mysteries deep in our genes. Even the best geneticists can only translate 30% of the content of the gene chain at most, and even think that more than 50% are useless junk genes.
"Is it possible that we, the most powerful inheritors of the prehistoric civilization, the most perfect carbon-based life form, actually carry 50% of the garbage genes? No, this is just an excuse for their ignorance. I believe that the 50% of the unknown Genes are the hope of our continuous evolution, including a part of the 'Neese gene'."
