476 Deep Dive

"niu (three tones) bi (four tones)!wo (two tones) cao (four tones)!"

"Laugh and cry, laugh and cry, upstairs English level 8!"

"God translates!"

"Give me a translation card!"

When Liu Wei saw the barrage, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Lazar turned around and smiled at him, "Liu Wei, what's wrong?"

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "I'm chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, I'm sorry, I've disturbed you!"

"It's okay, Liu Wei, would you like to stay and dig up the fossils with us?" Lazar asked.

Liu Wei took a look, this is a big project, the entire excavation process may take a long time, and it is impossible to stay here all the time, but thinking that the audience in the live broadcast room may not have seen the fossil excavation, he responded to Lazar: "I will leave tomorrow, will you start the excavation work today?"

Lazar said: "Liu Wei, you know, the preparation before the excavation is very cumbersome, I dare not assure you!"

"I see!" After getting Lazar's answer, Liu Wei explained to the live broadcast room, "Brothers, we won't leave today, stay and watch the excavation of fossils by Malaysian experts, and continue to travel tomorrow to explore the mysteries of Borneo!"

“ojbk!”

"I've only seen some excavations of artifacts, and it's still a documentary!"

"I also want to see how they excavate the fossils?"

Liu Wei found a place to sit down and said with a smile, "In fact, fossils can also be regarded as a kind of cultural relics, and the whole excavation process is similar to the excavation of cultural relics.

"OK, listen to the anchor's arrangement!"

"Ah Wei, it's okay now, you can tell us about the giant ape! We didn't understand the conversation between you and Lazar just now!"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a science popularization of giant apes now."

The first is its physical characteristics, according to the research and analysis of data collected over more than a century, the height of the great ape is about two to three meters, and the weight can reach 500kg, which is very large.

The surface of the body is covered with dense hair, which bears a striking resemblance to that of an Asian orangutan.

In May 2018, a research team led by paleoanthropologist Professor Wang Wei sent a fossilized giant ape tooth from the wind blowing cave in Bubing Village, Tiandong County, Guangxi Province, to the Evolutionary Genomics Laboratory of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark for genetic material extraction and sequencing.

This is the first time that scientists have successfully extracted genetic information from such an ancient fossil from a subtropical region.

The results of the study clearly show that the great apes were once the largest primates living on our planet and are most closely related to the Asian orangutans that now live in Southeast Asia.

About 12 million years ago, great apes separated from the family of orangutans and evolved independently.

In terms of physical characteristics, we can liken it to a larger version of the Asian orangutan!"

", three meters high, five hundred kilograms, it's too scary!"

"Orangutan Plus is okay?"

"This should be the prototype of King Kong, right?"

"Absolutely yes!"

Liu Wei nodded and said: "Not only is the prototype of King Kong a giant ape, but the design of the orangutan in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is also inspired by the giant ape.

I'll show you the most authoritative picture!"

Liu Wei searched for a conjecture map of a giant ape on the industry's famous academic website "Nature", "This is a model constructed by the German anthropologist Wei Dunrui through the fossils of the giant apes that have been excavated and the conjecture of the living environment at that time!"

In the photo, a tall giant ape stands upright next to a tree, with thick arms, thighs about the size of the tree trunk next to him, black hair all over his body, only the hair on his stomach and chest is a little sparse, revealing yellow skin.

The eyes and nose give people a somewhat unkind feeling, more like a ferocious beast.

"It's too big!"

"What do you think? Three meters, one story high!"

"It seems that there have been people who are three meters tall in history!

"It exudes wildness all over its body, and it is estimated to be fierce!"

Liu Wei added again: "Brothers, in fact, the great ape is a relatively docile animal, unless an invader invades its territory, of course, in the period in which it lived, there was no creature on earth that was its opponent, and its extinction was entirely due to the change of the ice age.

There is another view in the industry, the great ape and primitive humans have lived together for nearly a million years, and the real extinction time was 100,000 years ago!"

"Isn't it possible for it to become the ancestor of mankind?"

"I just checked Baidu, and it seems that I have this opinion, the giant ape is the ancestor of humans!"

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and corrected: "From the discovery of the giant ape fossil to the end of the last century, there was this view.

This idea is still being put forward by the German anthropologist Wei Dunrui, whom I just mentioned, who believes that great apes are homininidae, the direct ancestor of Homo erectus.

The Dutch scientist Konnehua, who first discovered the fossil of a great ape, agrees with this view, and it has long been recognized as the mainstream view in the academic community.

But as more and more fossils have been found in China, since the middle of the last century, China has studied the species of great apes more and more deeply, and the technology has become more and more advanced, and scientists have found proteins in the fossilized teeth of giant apes, overturning the view of the German anthropologist Wei Dunrui.

Paleoanthropologists have basically confirmed that the great ape is a side branch of the human evolutionary system!"

The amount of barrage in the live broadcast room has decreased a lot.

However, the number of VIPs and the popularity of VIPs have not decreased at all, but have continued to increase.

It shows that the audience is listening carefully and listening.

It also proves Liu Wei's conjecture that the audience is eager for knowledge.

"I'm fascinated by it!"

"Me too, I feel like I'm watching a scientific research show!"

"The anchor is awesome!"

"The most literate person in the outdoor area of the whole network, the most contented live broadcast room!"

Big Lemon sends out the spaceship ×3

Autumn Wind Messenger sends Super Rocket ×2

Chuncha Ki sent the plane × 8

......

The gifts rolled up.

Liu Wei: "Thanks to the gift of my brothers, in fact, being able to find the fossils of giant apes in Borneo is an important scientific material for studying the evolution process of humans.

At the same time, we can get enlightenment from the process of species extinction, the earth has existed in the universe for more than four billion years, countless creatures have been born and perished, in comparison, we human beings are so small, do not underestimate the earth's self-healing ability, or the previous sentence, reverence for nature, reverence for life!"

"Approval, big praise!"

"It's time for us to reflect deeply!"

"Hey, this year is a disaster all over the world, and I suspect that Mother Earth has turned on the self-purification mode to remind humanity!"

"This topic is so heavy!"

"Anchor, why are you so good?

"It's good-looking, I subscribed first, this live broadcast room, I'm posted!"

"Ah Wei, come on!"

"Ah Wei works so hard, refuses to prostitute for nothing, and starts clocking in tomorrow!"
