I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 586: Noah’s Ark and Nuwa
The judgment of the ancient ancient ape saved the lives of the tribe in the early stage. Escaped to the rocky mountain in time to avoid being swept away by the flood or submerged by the mudslide, but at the same time, it cut off the escape of the tribe.
Evacuation became a fantasy.
The ancient apes at that time did not have the knowledge reserve of shipbuilding at all.
Tie it to a log and drift with the flow, see where it floats, and leave it all to luck?
This idea looks beautiful, but there are many problems.
First, there were no ropes at that time, only rattan. The rattan can be used to drag things, but it is difficult to secure it when it is used to tie people, and the tied people can easily slip off.
Second, the number of canes was not enough to save a few people.
Third, this is a bare rocky mountain with few trees.
Fourth, in a turbulent flood, even if a person is drifting with a tree trunk, it is easy to bury in the water and drown.
To sum up, this is not an idea with a high survival rate, and the feasibility is extremely low.
Even if in twos and threes there are people who get away with it, clans don't exist anymore.
Lonely ancient apes enter the wild with no chance of surviving.
Even with Chen Feng's ingenuity and the knowledge of modern people, he couldn't think of how the primitive humans who were blocked on the top of the mountain could escape.
So, despite knowing that staying on the mountain can only wait to die, the surviving ancient apes have no choice but to live one day at a time.
The virtual history in front of Chen Feng's eyes slowly accelerated.
As time goes by, due to the increasing scarcity of food, the living habits and postures of the ancient apes began to change gradually in extreme environments.
First of all, the ancient apes controlled their diets and adjusted their bodies more strongly to adapt to the current situation of food scarcity as much as possible.
A strange thing happened. Although the ape's body appeared to be getting weaker and thinner, the thin body and extreme malnutrition did not quickly defeat these people who survived the first month.
Their movements remain agile, and their lighter weight and smaller size means they use significantly less energy to move.
Changes in adult apes are obvious, but changes are more pronounced in juvenile and juvenile apes.
In order to reduce the energy consumption when moving short distances, these children gradually try to walk upright on only two feet when they are outside, relying on a more developed cerebellum to maintain balance.
When an upright walking animal of the same size and weight moves the same distance at the same slow speed as a quadruped walking animal, as long as the upright animal's balance is well controlled, the upright animal consumes less total ATP and has a better field of vision. High, the efficiency of letting these straight children find food or wood on the rocky mountain is suddenly much improved.
Not only that, but the children who were supposed to be protected have learned how to use water without a teacher, and the water is excellent, and the probability of going out to find food and then returning is much higher.
These kids even learned to dive and fish in floodwaters.
During this process, in order to swim faster and more effortlessly in the water, the hair on the body of the ancient ape child began to recede at an extremely fast speed.
Although the ancient ape children did not quickly and completely become like modern humans, the hair on the body surface became much shorter, and the hair gradually became no longer absorbent, and the hair surface layer was quickly completely covered by the secreted stratum corneum, forming tiny The structure of the hydrophobic scales is more and more similar to the hair and fine hair of modern people.
Seeing the changes in front of him, Chen Feng was stunned.
It turns out that the human body can really change so quickly in ancient times.
Doesn't need to be across generations, just in the same person, rapidly changing due to the demands of the external environment.
Chen Feng also realized that the expression of human genes has such a powerful potential.
Scientists have had many different guesses about the evolution of human beings.
Even in the future where the technological process is highly developed, human beings have been able to synthesize some new species with genes, and can even use breeding technology to make themselves into new species, but how did humans gradually change millions of years ago? There are still many debates and speculations about the process of becoming the final shape.
Most people agree that human form is the result of slow evolution through constant natural selection.
But in fact, when human beings became intelligent and became Homo sapiens, nature's choice of Homo sapiens suddenly decreased a lot.
But the process of losing hair on the human body is not over, but is still advancing.
It can't be because of aesthetic changes that natural selection tends to occur when populations reproduce.
Who knows what the aesthetics of ancient human beings were like, maybe the more hair, the more popular it is.
The changes in hair that have occurred during human evolution have puzzled many paleontologists, and have come up with a variety of guesses.
Now Chen Feng knows the reason.
In the evolutionary history of the human species, there is such a history that swimming was needed to save the race.
Maybe when this generation lives again, the hair will return to its original state due to the needs of hunting and warmth, but fewer hairs can cope with more complex environments but have been engraved in human memory and will last forever It will continue to be passed down until one day, when human wisdom reaches a certain level and productivity can solve the need for clothing and warmth, the tendency of hair reduction will be strongly expressed again and eventually become the mainstream.
The rapid evolution of the children has given the population a little respite and a little relief from the food source.
But if the rain continues, there is still no possibility for the population to expand and reproduce, and the population will continue to decline due to the deterioration of the external environment, perhaps by natural death, or by disease.
In short, the population will continue to decline, but at a much slower rate than the first month.
The real shift came five months after the heavy rain continued to fall.
Five months of thunder and lightning caused the oxygen and hydrogen on the earth to react rapidly to generate more and more water. The torrential rain continued to raise the water level of the ocean, and finally formed the appearance of the earth.
The persistence of this ancient ape tribe has finally reached its limit.
The ancient apes have grown from old to minor illnesses and wounds.
No one can go out for food anymore.
The tribe is truly at a dead end.
It was on this day that a huge bio-submarine approached the rocky mountain.
It doesn't count as a submarine in a sense, because there is no air in it at all.
The upper body is similar to the ancient ape, but the lower body is a fish tail. The fish star drilled out of the submarine and stuck its head out of the water.
This is a female fish star.
She is tall, eight meters long.
She forced a smile and waved as friendly as the ancient apes greeted each other.
Then a ladder sticks out from the top of the submarine, all the way to the mouth of the cave.
The upper part of the huge submarine began to grow like a plant with buildings that the ancient apes had never imagined.
The submarine becomes a small floating island.
The remaining eighty-seven ancient apes supported each other and stepped onto the surface of the submarine in confusion and tension.
Here, the ancient apes were exposed to cooked food for the first time - grilled fish.
Ancient apes were also exposed to drugs for the first time.
Chen Feng suddenly knew the origin of the fantasy about Noah's Ark in Western mythology~IndoMTL.com~ and the origin of the legend of Nuwa in Chinese mythology who repaired the sky and saved the world in the flood.
Stacked memories have been lurking in people's minds through fish food, eventually becoming myths and legends.
The ancient apes settled on the floating island, and more than seven months have passed since then.
In the third month, the heavy rain finally stopped, but it was still cloudy, with occasional drizzle, and floods were still raging outside.
It wasn't until more than seven months later that the warm sunlight finally flooded the earth again, and the ground began to dry out.
At this time, the ancient apes arrived on the African continent on the Yuxing submarine, walked off the floating island, waved goodbye to each other, and started a new reproduction.
The scene in front of Chen Feng's eyes stopped abruptly.
What he saw was a real history.
Chen Feng fell into silence.
This is just one of many things the Fish Stars have done for the people of Earth.
Perhaps this history is more important, so the Yuxing people hid it in the depths of the stacked memory, and after additional encryption, it was finally presented to Chen Feng.
But why does it have to be this paragraph?
and not something else?
Chen Feng quickly understood why the Yuxing people wanted to encrypt it.
It turns out that there is another huge secret hidden in this memory.
During the more than 200 days that the ancient apes lived on the surface of the submarine, they received medical assistance from the Yuxing people, and their DNA information was also deeply sequenced.
In the DNA information of the ancient ape, there are secrets that Chen Feng never thought of.
It turns out that human evolution has actually stalled as early as seven or eight million years ago.
The so-called evolution that follows is nothing more than pseudo-evolution in the expression of directional traits, and small variations that occur when different ethnic groups in scattered places exchange bloodlines with each other.
The essence of human genes has never changed.
