Vol 3 Chapter 368: Descent theory and mediocrity

The cultural heritage of the Balai people is to attribute everything to the gods.

虽然 Although this approach is easy and saves everything, everything can be explained from religious books, which makes Rileys not think about the meaning of life, and naturally there is not much confusion.

However, to attribute the meaning of one's own existence to the "god" of nothingness has undoubtedly reduced the subjective initiative of the body.

"Their behavior, although it looks very funny, is actually not inherently stupid, but because-the intelligence of the vast majority of individuals has not been exploited to the greatest extent, and even if some are naturally intelligent, they are wasted. "

Chat here, Zhang Yuan remembered some small stories heard during the Earth period. In some areas, it is common for locals to rob foreigners. This seems to be a culture of them. They feel that it is natural to rob others because they are poor.

There are still some areas where begging has become a common occurrence.

Someone is kind and gives beggars money, they will take it for granted and have no gratitude. They think that the gifts of others are guided by the gifts of God. Since you are guided by gods, why are you grateful?

But if you change the way, for example, let the other party throw the stone in the middle of the road to the side of the road, and then give them money, such a little thing that they can do, they will not be willing, and they will even feel an insult ...

思维 This kind of thinking does exist on the earth, and it is difficult to change. Most of them are remote and small countries.

Well, it's not surprising that these Rileys who have been promoted in front of them.

所以 "So, a civilization's culture is very, very important, including cultural heritage and spiritual core, which are the pillars of civilization. Our new civilization has just absorbed the excellent heritage of the earth's civilization, and has gradually come to the present."

Professor Yamamoto said suddenly: "I found a very important point ... the ties based on descent theory should be the most common social structure in the universe. The Riley's" ethnic hierarchy theory "is actually A deep-rooted pedigree theory. Some Rileys are born with noble ancestry, and others are lowly, even ... these low-level Rileys, I think so. "

"Like our earth, many animal communities live on ties of descent, such as wolves, lions, human tribal clans, etc."

"It should be the same when zooming into the universe ... the social creatures develop into intelligent civilization, and the probability is much greater than the solitary creatures. Then, the mediocrity of most civilizations may have a lot to do with pedigree theory."

There is a proverb in Xia's country: Long Shenglong, Feng Shengfeng, and the rat's son will punch holes, describing the pedigree theory.

But descent theory, this naturally formed system is only applicable to the early period of civilization. In the middle and late period, the class solidification formed by descent theory will become a hidden obstacle.

Even though all roads lead to Rome, don't forget that some people were originally born in Rome, when others were standing in the sun, hungry and thirsty, and rushing around every day and night, these born lucky people were lying in the hall, comfortable Eating grapes and watching the scenery has reached the end.

Under such an unfair situation, a civilization will certainly have difficulty realizing its full potential. If the innate has a potential of 100, maybe it can only play 1, or even 0.1, it has been restricted by self and will not continue to move forward.

"Yes, this view is in the history of the new civilization. The pedigree theory is deeply entrenched and restricts a large number of civilizations. Then, I have another question ..."

Zhang Yuan asked: "The theory of pedigree must rely on sexual reproduction, which should be an important part of evolution. If it is asexual reproduction, everyone born from the same mother is definitely equal, and there is no descent and class hierarchy. Now, why do most of the lives we encounter have sexual reproduction? Or, most of them are bisexual, why ca n’t they be three, four, and five? "

Although humans have encountered extraterrestrial species, we have also inspected several different alien civilizations.

Humans and Glitzers are both sexually reproduced, and most of the creatures of these two planets are mainly sexually reproduced.

Badiers, who are detained in the virtual space, can reproduce sexually, but they can also reproduce sexually. The etiquette of the Badit people is to exchange germ cells and store them in their cysts. In most cases, they will choose sexual reproduction instead of parthenogenesis.

的 The Riley civilization that I just met, it seems that it should also be dominated by sexual reproduction ...

This leads to a large number of different civilizations that have a certain degree of the same nature. Although everyone looks different and has different body structures, they have the same points in some core aspects.

"Mr. Captain, the answer is simple."

Biologist Ichiro Yamamoto explained: "Because of the weak mutational ability of asexual reproduction, the evolution rate is extremely slow. When encountering environmental changes, or the invasion of malignant bacteria and viruses, it is easy to exterminate everyone ... like a banana Big Mac bananas are extinct because of the virus. Unfortunately, the bananas we eat now are called Cavendish bananas. They do not produce seeds and they are at risk of extinction. "

There are also some asexual creatures on the earth, such as single-celled organisms such as yeast and paramecium, which divide and reproduce. They divide and reproduce very fast and mutate very fast, so they don't need to worry about the risk of extinction.

爬行 Some reptiles, insects, fish, and a mutant crayfish that can reproduce without mating are called parthenogenesis.

Speaking of a species called "American lobster shrimp" ~ www.readwn.com ~ can also be regarded as a bizarre story in biology. American lobster lobster was discovered by scientists only in 1995. It has been discovered that all individuals around the world actually have the same genes and the same set of chromosomes, as if every lobster was cloned.

Sheshanben said: "This lobster does not need to mate to lay eggs, but if there is a certain virus that targets this lobster, it will be easy to exterminate all members without leaving any."

所以 "So, sexual reproduction can bring about genetic diversity, more ability to adapt to the environment, and easy to survive in complex environments."

"Among them, bisexual reproduction is the best and the most stable. In ancient times, when the living environment was bad, how could three, four, and five individuals breed together? Perhaps there have been multiple individuals breeding together in history. Species, but in the end, were eliminated. "

Professor Yamamoto slaps his head and adds: "Oh, yes, organisms of the cocciaceae often multiply. It is said that there are thirteen sexes, but only bacteria with super fertility, not multicellular organisms."

"We do not doubt that there are some polysexual civilizations in the universe, but in terms of evolutionary probability, it is definitely a small probability event ... they may exist in the galaxy, but we are difficult to meet."

"That's the case, I have learned a lot."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I really want to see, what exactly is the civilization of more than a dozen genders ... Maybe there is no way to even form a family system ... The whole society must have something with us Earth-shaking difference? "
