"The Evolution of Species?"

Reiner was a little curious, if it comes to the law of species evolution, then it should undoubtedly be the realm of evolution, but the mages of the Immortal Throne only figured out the blood factor and the law of heredity a short time ago, can they deduce a similar theory of evolution so quickly?

With this in mind, he looked at the paper in the middle of the table.

The contents of the paper were projected into the air, allowing everyone to browse at will, and Reiner noticed that only Bell and Igor were reading carefully, except for Hannah, and the rest of the people did not pay attention after only a few glances.

Maybe it's because they are good at different factions, so it's hard to comment.

Reiner thought so, and he looked at the paper and roughly figured out why it was being sent to a review committee that identified potentially innovative and disruptive papers.

Mr. Potsdam's doctrine belongs to the evolutionary school, one of the two opposing factions of the Immortal Throne regarding the origin of living beings, which holds that living things do not start out as they are seen, but evolve from simple to complex, from monotonous to diverse.

On the other hand, the argument that living beings are born this way and that humans are the masters of the world from the beginning has been arguing since the days of the Magic Empire in ancient times, although many recent studies have shown that biological evolution is more convincing.

This Potsdam. Master Baptiste has lived in a half-plane that has been defined as safe, studying the ecology of wild animals, and over the course of a decade of observations, he has come to a vision of biological evolution.

That is, organisms will be affected by the surrounding environment, and the evolution of species will also change with different environments, and the more often the organ is used, the easier it is to evolve, and this trait that evolves to adapt to the environment can be inherited.

Potsdam gave a simple example, and that is the human brain.

The more you think, the longer you use your brain, the smarter you become, and the more lazy you are, the more stupid you become.

"Is it ...... to use it in and out of it?"

Seeing the summary at the end of the paper, Reiner muttered to himself.

"Although I have not consulted the data on similar species, judging from the data presented in the paper, I think this point of view is not subversive, but at least quite enlightening, I don't know what your opinions are?"

Hannah added when she saw that everyone else had finished reading the paper.

"I don't have a problem with that."

Director Percival was the first to speak, followed by Roger and Safros nodding in agreement.

Igor thought about it, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Bell frowned slightly, stopped talking, and finally shrugged his shoulders like a sigh.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then follow Hannah's original idea......"

"Please wait a minute, Lord Percival."

Reiner's voice interrupted Director Percival's closing remarks, causing everyone in the room to look at the young man sitting in the corner of the long table.

“...... What's the matter, Reiner? ”

Director Percival was stunned for a moment before asking.

"I don't think it's so simple to comment on this paper."

Reiner's words caused Director Percival to raise an eyebrow.

"When reviewing a paper, shouldn't we conduct the same experiments on the ideas and conclusions in it, or at least find a phenomenon in the past records that can be explained by the content of the paper, and it seems inappropriate to get the results of the review of the paper without other theoretical support."

Reiner said he had read the reviewer's handbook, which clearly describes how to judge a paper as a reviewer, and the most important thing is that practice makes sense, and it should never be evaluated solely on the basis of what is said in the paper.

In fact, several of Reiner's previous papers were also commented on by the judges after experiments, and even the most difficult genetic papers to verify have recently been proven by some mages of the Immortal Throne through research on other creatures.

Therefore, Reiner believes that it is precisely because he is on the review committee for breakthrough papers that he should be more cautious, and in the face of such papers, it is not only a dereliction of duty to the author of the paper, but also a desecration of his own work.

"What do you think, Hannah?"

Director Percival did not respond directly to Reiner's words, but turned to Hannah, the first reviewer of the paper.

"Well, having said that, it's very difficult to directly corroborate this paper, and from a practical point of view, I don't think there's much of a problem."

Hannah was also a little troubled, originally, the paper presented at this symposium was difficult for the first reviewer to grasp, she originally wanted to give this decision to the superior Percival, since Percival nodded, then her review opinion was guaranteed, but she didn't expect to kill a Reiner halfway, and it was not so easy to pass the test.

"I think this theory is a bit too one-sided to emphasize the role of subjectivity, if a certain organ can be evolved over a long period of time and passed on to the next generation, how can we explain the conclusion that some parents and children have completely different constitutions?"

Reiner asked in a deep voice unhurriedly.

"What's more, according to this conclusion, species have evolved every organ of the body to the extreme in thousands of years, and the world is by no means what it is now, which is an answer that can be obtained by a little thinking about it with the method of logical reasoning."

"This ......"

Hannah was momentarily speechless, and she looked at Director Percival, trying to get support.

"Hannah, since Reiner said so, you might as well go back and find other information to verify it, and don't jump to conclusions so easily."

Instead of continuing to support Hannah, Director Percival asked her to re-examine the paper.

“...... Okay, I got it. ”

Hannah put away the paper with some reluctance and glanced at Reiner, not knowing what the emotion was.

"Let's move on."

Director Percival motioned for the discussion to continue as if nothing had happened.

In the following papers, Reiner made suggestions about the imperfections, and by the time the meeting was over, it was lunch time.

After making the final summary, Percival thought for a moment, and spoke faintly, reminding Reiner.

"Reiner, you're an assistant juror, and you're mainly responsible for the minutes of the discussion and the final results, do you understand?"

"Of course I do."

Reiner bowed slightly, of course he heard what Director Percival meant.

That is to tell Reiner not to be nosy.
