Chapter 2706 Neanderthals and Homo sapiens
"You said so..."
Li Yao thought for a while, "I seem to remember that many archaeologists have indeed discovered an ancient human skull that is different from ours in the empire. The 'Neans' and the competitors of the early Homo sapiens are taller and stronger than our direct ancestors, and they are extremely powerful. They are like gray mud towers."
"Yes, the survival advantage of Nigerians is not just as simple as tall and strong, but more importantly, the brain and genes."
Zhuge Jinglun said, "The Nuwa tribe has implanted a large amount of obvious technology and knowledge into the genetic genes of the Nigerians. As long as the brains of Nigerian children gradually mature and secrete special hormones, they can naturally awaken these talents and learn how to farm, smel and fight, and even how to refine warships and transform planets.
"It can be said that Ni people were born qualified farmers, miners and warriors, just as tigers were born the best hunters, they were born to refine warships, just as zebras would run when they were born, and cats would be born to climb trees.
"This is exactly the purpose of the original birth of the race of 'human'. A flesh-and-blooded puppet that can reproduce and expand the race itself can serve their masters, the Pangu Alliance for a long time, right?"
"It sounds... very strong and very good."
Li Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, "But you just said that the Nigers are the 'firm first generation humans', where are the defects?"
"They have neither creativity nor extreme curiosity."
Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly and said, "Look, the Nuwa clan has engraved all knowledge and technology in their genes, which is enough to help them deal with most of the animals and plants except the Thirteen Pangu clans at that time. They were almost perfect and had no natural enemies.
"So, they need neither curiosity nor creativity, they just need to act instinct like other wild beasts, but never know the meaning of life.
"They may be able to build a warship with bare hands and make a planet with harsh environments pleasant scenery, but they never think about what the meaning of this matter is, just like when a cheetah pounces on a zebra, they don't think about the meaning of this matter, he or it, just... alive.
"What exactly is creativity? Creativity is the ability to make mistakes constantly, make a hundred mistakes, a thousand mistakes, and ten thousand the most ridiculous mistakes, but there is always one of them that will shine and shine, and will create unexpected and wonderful consequences. This is evolution, this is creativity!
"The Ni people do not have this ability. All their knowledge and skills are destined by heaven and destined. Their form has reached perfection. They never consider changes, and there is no need to change at all. They have no curiosity, and nothing worth curious about them. If they are allowed to reproduce for tens of thousands of years and a thousand generations, then from the first generation to the last generation, there will be no change, evolution, creation, mutation...all of them do not exist."
Li Yao gradually understood.
Fish and bear's paw cannot have both. The talent directly inherited through genetic genes, as well as strong curiosity and creativity, are probably two different evolutionary directions that cannot be compatible.
"The Pangu tribe is quite satisfied with the early products like the 'Ni people', but the Nuwa tribe frowned at its works."
Zhuge Jinglun continued, "Maybe at that time, many demons had already penetrated into the minds of the Nuwa clan. With the passion and unrestrained style of the Heavenly Demon and the Nuwa clan, advocating disorder, chaos, vitality and creation, how could he like the "Ni Ren"?
"So, the Nuwa clan told the other twelve prehistoric races that the Ni people had fatal flaws and were not enough to act as the most loyal slaves of the Pangu Alliance. They also needed a new generation of people with more complete functions and more balanced aspects. The key was humans with stronger independent working ability and stronger creativity.
"The Pangu tribe is undeniable 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 Nuwa tribe's opinions and reluctantly agree to let them create a second batch of humans to test and compare with the Ni people.
"In this way, our direct ancestor, Homo sapiens.
"Compared with Nis, the defects of Homo sapiens are obvious. Our direct ancestors are small in size and are prone to anger and fear. They are not as powerful as some gorillas. They are even killed by tigers and lions without using tools. The most important thing is that the Nuwa tribe removed all the natural supernatural powers in their genetic genes. Each Homo sapiens is a piece of paper when they are born. They must be taught orally and deeds, and it takes several years to impart skills to them. Once they die, the skills they have finally accumulated will be destroyed. The new Homo sapiens is still blank."
"After you say this, our direct ancestors seem to be useless!"
Li Yao frowned.
“On the surface, yes.”
Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly and said, "So, when the Nuwa clan put such a new generation of "upgraded version" in front of the entire alliance, the other twelve prehistoric races were dumbfounded and laughed in silence.
"Maybe at that time, the thirteen prehistoric carbon-based races had more or less some gifted magical powers, and their ancestors' memories and genetic genes were particularly active. Their talents were too strong, so strong that they could suppress curiosity and creativity - just like cancer cells eroding the living space of normal cells. Therefore, no prehistoric carbon-based race, including the Pangu tribe, could have imagined how terrifying... power could a new life form that had no talented magical powers at all but stimulated creativity and curiosity to the extreme.
"It is precisely because we are born with a piece of white paper that we are full of endless curiosity and desire to explore the wonderful new world around us; it is precisely because our skills are learned rather than inherited innately, so we will constantly make mistakes, constantly think, constantly summarize and even question what predecessors have taught, question all authority, and question all unquestionable laws and regulations; it is precisely because we were so weak at the beginning that our desire for ‘power’ is far superior to all other intelligent lives. Our ancestors even understood the essence of ‘man’ at the beginning of their birth more deeply than their creators!
"At that time, the entire Pangu Alliance knew nothing about our power. It was only under the insistent request of the Nuwa clan that several planets were chosen as laboratories and arenas for... Nirvana and Homo sapiens."
Li Yao was fascinated by the hearing, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and murmured: "In the end, Homo sapiens defeated the Niren."
“Yes, but that’s more than that.”
A weird smile gradually appeared on Zhuge Jinglun's face, "At the beginning of this special survival experiment, the Niss easily defeated almost all Homo sapiens with their innate supernatural powers. At the worst, the number of Homo sapiens dropped to 5% of their peak period, and they had to hide in the cracks of rocks and deep in the jungle and shivered.
"But the vigorous desire for exploration, curiosity and survival transformed the surviving Homo sapiens at an astonishing speed, causing them to run wildly on the road to evolution. They not only stole the magic weapons of the Ni people, slowly learned the technology of the Ni people, but also improved these technologies and magic weapons through different environmental characteristics of different planets. In the end, the Homo sapiens on all planets defeated the Ni people without exception, and... ate them all.
"The Black Wind King should know what happened next. Homo sapiens proved that they were the best 'tool' with their indisputable performance. Although the Pangu tribe was wary of the creativity and curiosity that the Homo sapiens showed in the survival competition, the Nuwa tribe took the "The Way of the Supreme Goodness, the Three Original Laws" as a constraint, which dispelled the Pangu tribe's concerns. They integrated the Ni people and Homo sapiens together, using Homo sapiens as the main template, massed humans, and spread them to the entire sea of stars.
"Who knew that at that time, some of the Nuwa clans had been eroded by the demons. The 'Three Origin Laws' were not necessarily so indestructible. In the later civil war in the prehistoric world, the awakening and rise of human beings became out of control."
"Is this your fabrication or is there any conclusive evidence?"
Li Yao asked, "Why do I sound so like telling a story?"
"A half, half, archaeologists and historians of the prehistoric world have indeed mastered 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 constellations."
"But your story has fatal flaws."
Li Yao pointed to the Holy Alliance below and said, "Since the Nigers had long been eliminated by Homo sapiens in the 'survival test' hundreds of thousands of years ago, how could these people be descendants of the Nigers?
"As far as I know, the earliest batch of Saint Alliance members were clearly created by the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. What's more, many Saint Alliance members are transformed from normal people on the empire. Any normal person may be brainwashed and transformed into Saint Alliance members. They are all descendants of the Ni people?"
"No, no, you didn't hear what I just said."
Zhuge Jinglun said calmly, "I didn't say 'destroy' just now. I just said that Homo sapiens ate the Niss and merged them. They are all our ancestors, but Homo sapiens' genes account for a relatively large proportion.
"You can simply understand that 90% of the genetic genes in our body come from Homo sapiens, and 10% of the genetic genes come from Nippons. The part of the genes from Nippons are usually suppressed and dormant. Just like another human subspecies, the ‘demon race’, we actually carry a large number of demon race genes in our body, so normal people who take Chaos Holy Water can also mutate into demon races, right?
"In fact, there are so many mysteries deep in our genes. Even the best genologists can only translate at most 30% of the content on the gene chain, and even believe that more than 50% are useless junk genes.
