Yuan Shiqing's answer was very affirmative, the advancement of the ancestor was indeed related to the big jump, but it was not as simple as Chen Taiyuan imagined.

"I think you know something about the big jump. Yuan Shiqing said, "Millions of years ago, the entire human race took a big leap, which set us apart from other animals and primates such as gorillas. In the 'short' millions of years that followed, humans developed more astonishingly than the tens of millions of years of evolution of any other species. ”

Although they were still wearing long fur and living in primitive times, the various subspecies of humanity had undoubtedly begun to thrive on this planet.

Yuan Shiqing said: "Tens of thousands of years ago, between 50,000 and 100,000 years, our human ancestors completed the second 'big jump'. Note that this is 'our ancestors', not all the humans of the time. ”

"At that time, there were many human subspecies, but because our Homo sapiens ancestors suddenly completed a big leap in that era, the rest of the human subspecies, such as Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc., were all extinct in an instant. ”

"There are subspecies that are not necessarily inferior to our ancestors in terms of physical strength or brain capacity, but we suddenly became stronger at that time. It swept the world almost with lightning speed, exterminated all other human subspecies, and dominated the world. ”

Not only the rest of the human subspecies, but also the large animals everywhere have been wiped out. At that time, wherever the footprints of human ancestors spread, the large species disappeared with them. For example, there were originally dozens of large mammals in Australia, and they have lived well for millions of years. But when the ancestors of humanity set foot on this continent, these species disappeared like crazy.

"It is said that we modern people don't know how to protect animals, but in fact, our ancestors didn't know this. Yuan Shiqing pursed his lips and smiled, "On the contrary, our ancestors stepped on the corpses of other species to stand at the pinnacle of this planet, overlooking all living beings. ”

Chen Taiyuan smiled bitterly: "Animal protectors will be angry if they hear your words." ”

Yuan Shiqing shook his head: "No way, this is the truth." Extinct species became the food of our ancestors, and it is only here that human beings survive and reproduce to this day. If the ancestors of human beings were a group of good men and women, then human beings would have been extinct long ago, and there is really no need to discuss animal protection...... Far away, let's talk about the big jump. ”

Yuan Shiqing said that the first big jump made humans start to become different, but the advantages established were not particularly obvious. Millions of years ago, they still had to fight against the natural world and the rest of the beasts.

And at that time, when they faced the large beast race, they didn't use any advantage at all. It is a miracle that they can fight against the powerful and ferocious orcs with their short bodies and dull teeth.

So, the value of the first big jump is also very great.

And the second time it was fierce, the ancestors of modern humans directly overwhelmed the rest of the human subspecies, and formed a crushing advantage over the rest of the species. What saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, no matter how long your teeth are or how big your body is, have become the object of hunting by human ancestors. No matter how fierce things are, they are only the food of human beings, and the ancestors of mankind have successfully climbed to the top of the global food chain, and they have no competitors at the top.

The slightest threat of competition is the rest of the human subspecies. Neanderthals, for example, were physically stronger than their human ancestors and had no bad brain capacity, so they ...... Therefore, they were also finished very quickly, and were wiped out early by the human ancestors.

"Except for natural disasters, human beings have no natural predators. Yuan Shiqing said, "This is the power of the big jump, which allows the human species to successfully occupy this planet." ”

Chen Taiyuan nodded: "So, what happened during these two jumps? Why? For example, you said that Neanderthals, whose physical strength is stronger than that of human ancestors, and their brain capacity is no worse than that of human ancestors, why was they killed by human ancestors in a short period of time?"

In fact, as another kind of evolutionary miracle, a subspecies of human beings like Neanderthals has come infinitely close to the miraculous and infinitely close to the Great Perfection. They have a high IQ and have even been shown to have primitive beliefs and even religions...... Such an ethnic group is extremely close to modern people.

Unfortunately, however, the Ancestors of Mankind entered the true temple of God before they did. And so at the latest, more than 10,000 years ago, this poor subspecies of humanity was wiped out. Although it took tens of thousands of years from the mutation of human ancestors to the sweep of all other human subspecies, compared with the evolutionary history that is often calculated in millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years, tens of thousands of years is really as fast as an instant.

However, it is said that Europeans possess a small number of these ancient human genes, perhaps due to the blood exchange between their ancestors and human ancestors.

As for why these human subspecies did not undergo the same strange changes as their human ancestors, it is a mystery.

Yuan Shiqing shook his head: "No one can find the real answer. Not to mention what happened 50,000 years ago, in fact, we don't even know what happened 5,000 years ago. Some people suspect that although the brain volume of human ancestors did not increase significantly, the connection of brain nerves was mutated, and then they quickly mastered various abilities such as group communication, language communication, and tool making. ”

Originally, everyone is a primitive species, and if one species "suddenly" mastered these abilities, what kind of terrifying advantage would it have over other species?

The other party is very strong, but the body is not as hard as a stone knife and stone axe;

Run fast, no matter how fast you are, you can't run faster with a bow and arrow;

You're a great collector of food, but you can't compete with collective hunting, collective production, and even the tools you can use to change the way you produce.

In addition, while you are still lying in the snow and ice all day preparing to ambush your prey, we have already started raising livestock and planting wheat and rice. Before you can wait for your prey, you will probably starve to death, while we are kept warm in thatched huts around the brazier, and we don't have to watch the sky to eat......

What an advantage this is, no less than the steam age of Western ships and guns, which dragged the pigtailed Manchu Empire. Such an advantage is enough to abuse the opponent to scum.

Yuan Shiqing continued: "Of course, this explanation is just speculation, and the only thing that is certain is that the human race at that time suddenly 'became powerful'. And now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the level of science and technology has developed to new heights, so we think that the third big leap is about to happen. ”

Wait, Chen Taiyuan stopped this statement: "The first big jump was millions of years ago, and the second was between 50,000 and 100,000 years, with millions of years in between. Now, it's about to make a big leap? How did it get so fast?"

Yuan Shiqing: "Do you think, isn't the progress of mankind already very great? The progress in the productive forces of the past 5,000 years has been greater than that of the past 50,000 years, and the progress of the past century has been greater than that of the past 5,000 years. Human development is not at a constant pace, but at an accelerated pace. Now, our human society has initially come into contact with immortality, the amount of brain storage may increase with the development of science and technology, and the physical strength has achieved a crazy increase...... This tipping point has been reached, it has been reached. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shiqing couldn't hide the little excitement in his heart: "Do you kid know, in fact, I have been secretly studying these, but I felt that the problem was too big and didn't dare to act rashly." Now that the world is out of order, I don't have to hold back. Even if I don't do it, how far has the militaristic alliance become? Instead of zombies everywhere, it is better to let the new human race take control of this new era. ”

Chen Taiyuan noticed that even Father Yuan actually used the term "new human".

Now Yuan Shiqing believes that the big jump is not a long stage, but a short period of extremely rapid and fast speed. During this period, the "evolution" of humanity will be at a very terrifying rate. But once you pass this stage, you will return to your old state, slowly evolving bit by bit.

It's like the intelligence of modern Homo sapiens is much stronger than that of hominids 100,000 years ago. But compared with the ancients three or four thousand years ago, it is not much different. Modern thinkers and philosophers are far inferior to Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang two thousand years ago, this is the truth.

"It's at this point now. Yuan Shiqingle said, "The era of the big jump has begun, and no one knows how long it will last." But I think it's going to be very short-lived, maybe even ten or eight years. ”

What? Chen Taiyuan was stunned, in disbelief.

This is a major breakthrough for all mankind, and it can be over in just ten or eight years?

The first big jump is not known, but the second big jump was certainly not made in a few years. That's also a time span in 10,000 years, so it's normal to "jump" for hundreds of years in the middle. Even if it's fast, a hundred years is all right, right? And judging from the long history of mankind, a hundred years is nothing more than a snap of a finger.

It's good now, ten or eight years, the old man really dares to say.

Yuan Shiqing said: "During the Great Jump, the rate of evolution of human beings is super high. For example, during the last big jump, the evolution of each year may be equal to the previous tens of thousands of years, which we call '10,000 times the evolution rate'. So that jumping period of a few hundred years, or maybe less than a hundred years, is actually equivalent to the evolutionary effect of millions of years, or at least millions of years, in the state of natural evolution. As a result, the human ancestors developed an overwhelming advantage over other human subspecies. ”

At that time, several major human subspecies had undergone millions of years of natural evolution, and everyone was about the same as each other. But suddenly there is a team that has evolved millions more years, and the advantage is too great.

As for the term "evolution rate", Chen Taiyuan really heard of it for the first time.

Yuan Shiqing continued to explain: "And now that we are in the third big jump, I think the 'evolution rate' should be more than 100,000 times. So don't look at the evolutionary leap period of the past ten years and eight years, it is actually no less than the effect of millions of years of natural evolution, or even more. ”

This judgment is a bit scary.
