Act 267. Inherited wisdom

It was a very interesting look, not the observation of a predator like a wild animal, nor cowardice and fear, but more like, scrutiny.

Is this wolf really intelligent?

Reiner remained silent and only watched secretly.

When the sea wolf had demonstrated its ability to use words, the crowd fell silent.

Although it cannot be admitted that it has the same intelligence as humans, at least its brain has evolved to be at least equal to the intelligence of a six- to seven-year-old child, able to read, write, and memorize certain words, and to express its own thoughts.

"This sea wolf is only two years old, and in a normal wild environment, such a sea wolf is just beginning to learn to hunt, in fact, its intelligence is not completely acquired, but passed down through its parents."

Baptiste's words made Reiner slightly surprised.

Inheritance of intelligence?

Reiner glanced at the sea wolf again.

The appearance it appears at this time is indeed very similar to that of an ordinary human child, and if it continues to be given enough resources to grow, it may be able to develop human-like intelligence.

"Parental inheritance?"

Agnes chewed on the word, according to the theory of bloodline inheritance, traits that can be stably inherited are likely to be preserved, and those scars and the like that are accidentally left in the process of growing up may not be inherited.

Applying this theory to the evolution of species, it is easy to conclude that evolution that can be stably inherited can allow species to evolve, while individual changes may not necessarily be fed back to the evolution of species.

If the products under the theory of entry and waste can really be stably inherited, then the convincing power of this theory will be greatly improved!

"Can we see its parents?"

Arimia said that she had been in a state of thinking, and that she was still in a state of thought, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"Absolutely."

Baptiste smiled, as if he had made up his mind, he took the magic expedition to the next room, here, two sea wolves were also locked in cages, compared to the previous one, these two were obviously more mature, according to the introduction, they were both over four years old, in the prime of life, one was called Jack, and the other was called Rose.

They also demonstrate similar literacy skills, and are more proficient than Ral, even mastering some jokes.

In the words, the two sea wolves also expressed their thoughts about their children, which was jaw-dropping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said, if a species exercises a certain ability for a long time, then the corresponding ability will continue to evolve, and this evolution can be passed on to the next generation, and eventually contribute to the evolution of the species itself.

Baptiste's conclusion left the crowd speechless, because what was seen in front of them was so unbelievable that it was beyond the limits of cognition, and according to this theory, humans could easily train more intelligent beings.

Even according to this line of thinking, a certain ability can be trained in a targeted manner, so that future generations can inherit it.

What a great feat it would be to shorten the evolutionary path that took nature thousands of years to reach in a matter of generations!

"Actually, all of this research was inspired by the treatment of Osborne Cara's disease, which is difficult to treat with medication, and how long it can survive depends on the constitution of each individual."

Baptiste speaks.

"I researched the parents of all the children with Osborne Carra's disease that I have documented, and I found that if the parents are healthy, the children are also more likely to be less affected by the disease and live longer, which is not an isolated case, in fact, it is very understandable."

He was a little gloomy, and then continued to speak.

"Therefore, I am thinking about whether the constitution of different people can be improved in some way, and whether this improvement can be passed down through the bloodline, if this theory is true, then we can look for traits that can resist Osborne Cara's disease, so that human beings can evolve towards this trait, and finally completely resist the invasion of this disease, just like smallpox."

Smallpox in this world has long been cured, and is often mentioned in almost all necromantic books as an example of humanity's victory over disease.

Baptiste's coping strategy is like this, immunizing against some diseases through active human evolution and passing on this trait to the next generation.

Reiner did not speak, because the body's immune system is actually divided into innate immunity and acquired immunity, and innate immunity is not targeted and specific, and will resist all diseases, but it may not be able to be successfully cured.

Acquired immunity is the production of antibodies through exposure to antigens, similar to the defense mechanism of smallpox and chickenpox, this type of immunity has a strong curative effect on specific diseases, but it is completely ineffective for other diseases, and at the same time, acquired immunity cannot be inherited.

There may be some mother's antibodies that are left on to the baby through childbirth and protect the child from external diseases during the first period of life, but this does not prevent more diseases.

The main reason why acquired immunity is not inherited is that the human body has a limit to carry these antibodies, while bacteria and viruses evolve very quickly, and if they are completely genetic, then within a few generations, the body's immune system will be overloaded.

Osborne Cara's disease is a congenital disease, and in Reiner's mind, it is a disease caused by a defective gene that cannot be cured unless the gene is modified.

But in this world, anything is possible, and if Baptiste can really prove the theory of using the theory of advance and retreat, the possibility of human beings achieving greater evolution in a short period of time will be much higher, and maybe he will be able to resist Osborne Cara's disease.

Baptiste looked at Reiner and saw that the mage was silent, and he smiled slightly, as if he had won the victory.

"In the next few days, I will have my students take you on a further expedition, there are about fifteen species of creatures in this institute, and the habitat of several species can be observed in an area outside the institute, and I will cooperate with any information you may need."

He said, causing Agnes and Edgar to nod slightly.

After today's investigation, in fact, the purpose of their group has almost been achieved, even if Agnes and the others observe here for a week, it is not comparable to Baptiste's ten-year observation, unless there is some unexpected situation, no one can refute Baptiste's conclusion.

Agnes didn't care about it for now, Edgar wasn't much interested, and it was better to finish it as soon as possible at this time.

Arimia glanced at Reiner, she felt that something was wrong with this, but she couldn't say it for a while, and the thought was stuck in her chest, and she couldn't release it.

Reiner didn't speak, he had a bold idea in his mind.
