Chapter 298: Pondering and Fearing!
"Huh?", Professor Zhou carefully read it from beginning to end, and when he knew that these test specimens were taken from the quaint stone door, he was so shocked that he sat up directly from the bed!
"Nothing wrong?", Professor Zhou asked eagerly, raising his voice.
Han Ming shook his head and said, "Teacher, I'm sure there is no problem! That specimen was taken from the stone gate, there is powder, and there is also a part of the stone gate that is missing a corner, all of which are characteristic traces!"
Professor Zhou's eyes returned to the report again, and the black bold conclusion was unusually conspicuous: after testing, the carbon 14 dating of the specimen sent for testing was: between 130,000 and 135,000 years!
100,000 years ago, what was the stage of human intelligence at that time?
100,000 years ago, our ancestor Homo sapiens tried to go out of Africa for the first time, because Neanderthals were too powerful, and as soon as Homo sapiens left Africa, they were immediately attacked by Neanderthals.
"How is this possible?", Professor Zhou looked at the time above, incredulous.
"I also find it strange. Teacher, I remember that Peking Man lived between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago near Zhoukoudian Dragon Bone Mountain in Fangshan District, Beijing. Compared with our modern humans, the adult male Peking ape has a thick eyebrow ridge, a protruding snout, no forehead and chin, and looks more like an ape, so he is called an ape-man. But between 200,000 and 100,000 years, historians and biologists alike feel that a semi-Homo sapiens has replaced them. And this is the truth that we scientists are committed to finding!", Han Ming looked at the teacher, waiting for his explanation.
Professor Zhou nodded, his voice was calm, and he said in a calm tone: "You are right, the brain of the Peking ape man was directly flattened, and his bone wall is twice as thick as the bone wall of our modern humans, and the brain capacity is only about two-thirds of that of today's humans, which has caused a very serious consequence: the Peking ape man has a low IQ! Judging from its intricate patterns and tools, these ancient people are extraordinary! They are comparable to the ancestors who developed to 20,000 or 30,000 years ago, Homo sapiens!"
Han Ming nodded, "This is a problem, the scientific community believes that the first time Homo sapiens who came out of Africa was 100,000 years ago, and they were blocked back by Neanderthals! The second time they went out of Africa was 50,000 or 60,000 years ago, so there is a contradiction with the results of our testing! According to the conclusion of the test, we in China 100,000 years ago, before the African Homo sapiens came over, there were already highly intelligent Homo sapiens!"
"Judging from our current tests, the possibility is very high! Han Ming, if this is true, we will have a discovery that subverts the understanding of the scientific community! 100,000 years ago, a high-level intelligent race of Homo sapiens appeared in our China! Haha, when the Peking ape man was discovered, foreign countries refused to admit it, and they also said that the ape-man skull that was stolen by the Japanese man was made up by us! It was not until the site of the cave on the top of the mountain was excavated that they shut up! Now we have found evidence of the existence of Homo sapiens earlier than our African ancestors, and perhaps this will be another monstrous wave! The more Professor Zhou spoke, the more excited he became, and when he went to the back, he imagined that the whole world was accusing, discussing, disdainful, and despising himself and others, and his face became serious again.
"We need more evidence, don't we?", Han Ming observed the words and knew what the teacher was thinking. This test conclusion is extremely scary to think about!
Professor Zhou nodded, looking at his outstanding student with satisfaction, "Yes, we still need other corroboration! For example, what tools were carved, or the traces of their activities at that time." The best thing is to be able to find their written and visual records, their remains, or their burial grounds! In the future, we will probably have to live in this place for several years!"
Han Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, and comforted the teacher: "Don't worry, teacher, with this pillar peak here, the country will establish a research institute here." What's more, the application for the nature reserve was approved by the chief steward himself, and the road will be built next year. When the time comes, the scientists who know the situation will come as if they are not crazy, you just don't get annoyed!"
"Haha, Han Ming, that's not what I'm worried about. I have a history of not going back to the village or town for two years, and I am saying that if you don't solve your personal problems at the end of this year, you won't come with me next year!", Professor Zhou pointed to Han Mingdao.
Han Ming's face turned embarrassed when he heard this, and the blush instantly crawled all over his face, and he looked at the teacher with some twists: "Teacher, that, when fate comes, I will naturally get married." ”
"Don't think I don't know, Fangfang knew you were coming here, and she told me she was coming too. She's in her third year of college, how can she walk around? Go back at the end of the year and do your business, so that I can hug my great-grandson as soon as possible!", Professor Zhou glanced at his beloved apprentice and teased with a smile.
"Hehe, hehe!", Han Ming only left a smirk, Fang Fang is Professor Zhou's granddaughter, his junior sister. The two had fallen in love at first sight since they first met at the teacher's house, but Fangfang was only eighteen years old at the time. Now Fangfang is twenty-one and can get married!
Yunhe Town, Han Beibei's home.
Although it was already six o'clock in the evening, the two families still did not have the slightest appetite, and they sat in the hall one by one with sad faces, and the oppressive atmosphere enveloped the living room, which made people extremely uncomfortable!
Han Beibei and Feng Xi had just comforted everyone for a while, but there was no news from the salvage rescue team so far, which made the two of them also worried!
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Yun Yang is not a short-lived person! So far, there is no news is the best news. Han Beibei held the hands of her mother-in-law and mother, and just now the two sat together and hugged each other and wept.
As Xiao Yufei also joined the team of relief, although everyone was worried, they also felt better. At this moment, Aunt Zhou hurriedly returned.
"Yun Song, his father, and uncle stayed at the dock to wait for news, and I will come back to tell you first. Downstream, including several counties and cities downstream, have launched fishery administrations and let them go up the river to search. But still nothing was found. This is a good thing, on the surface, there is no accident between the two of them!", Aunt Zhou didn't eat lunch or dinner, but she felt that she was not hungry at all, and she still spoke quickly and urgently.
"Don't worry, Yun Yang will be fine! I'll wait for news. After saying that, he was in a hurry again, and rode Han Beibei's mother's battery car to the dock.
Yun Aijun sat on the sofa dejectedly, Han Ling smoked one cigarette after another, and Bu Yu didn't see him scolding him as usual!
The wharf was crowded, and the municipal party committee and government sent Si Donglai as a representative, and the county magistrate Liang was shocked when he learned that it was Yunyang who saved people. When Si Donglai knew from Si Donglai that it was Zhao Lao's great-granddaughter who fell into the river, he almost collapsed to the ground!
