Chapter 236: 200,000 Years of History
It has to be said that the average intelligence of the Gliese people seems to be slightly higher than that of humans. Under the influence of a specific environment, their brains have evolved to be more refined, energy-efficient, and efficient.
Almost every individual has a strong sense of number and image perception, and is a natural artist.
The brains of living beings, just like various models of CPUs and GPUs, have similar functions, but there will always be high and low performance due to differences in structure and frequency.
The evolution of living things does not have a certain set evolutionary goal, just to be able to survive better, that is to say, the birth of wisdom is always just an accident. Moreover, evolution is a point of no return, which can only be tinkered with, not reversed.
As a result, whoever makes fewer mistakes on this road of no return will have a better brain.
Unfortunately, due to some evolutionary influences, coupled with a lifestyle that is not stressful to survive, the Gliese people, even though they have bright minds, do not spend these energies on serious scientific research.
Throughout the ages, they have been obsessed with all kinds of strange arts, including painting, music, sculpture, and religious culture......
The natural phobia of the wilderness has made this civilization have no ambition to explore nature, and the individuals who want to look at the starry sky have all been ruthlessly eliminated by the typhoon that is born at all times.
The vast universe is called the "dwelling place of demons" by some primitive religions, and the ancient Gliese people believed that it was the demons who brought endless winds, and only Mother Earth was a warm and safe harbor.
Under the influence of this culture, almost all individuals prefer to hide underground and enjoy a comfortable life.
A professor of the history of the new civilization was on stage deciphering the investigation report sent by Wang Junpeng and others, which described in considerable detail the days of the Gliese civilization.
“…… Compared with the life of the human Australopithecus, their life is too superior. Even superior to the extreme! ”
"It is already the top of the planet's food chain, except for natural disasters, there are not too many natural enemies, plus the clan as a unit of group tribe life, as long as it does not encounter too big natural and man-made disasters, it is impossible to have too big an existential crisis."
"Well, in this case, I think the probability of getting out of your comfort zone is low."
In addition, the reproductive ability of this group of guys is not high, and even if they let go, they won't be able to give birth to a large population, so all day long, just think about reproduction, or eat, drink and have fun.
There are even some intelligent individuals who realize that as long as they don't give birth to too many people and don't eat all the food around them, they can stay in one place forever, and even the migration is not a thing!
So, in ancient times, in order to pursue a better quality of life, this group of guys began to spontaneously control the number of people. Anyway, the children are all oviparous, and they are raised by all individuals, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to have a few more or a few, as long as the entire tribe is not wiped out......
However, there is always some need for trading in the life of a tribe, especially ...... The need for gene transmission.
Inbreeding can lead to various genetic defects, so genes give them a natural instinct to like the new and hate the old, females in the same tribe will always look very tired of seeing too much, while members of other tribes are different, and are more likely to bring about the desire to reproduce.
In this case, a very peculiar profession was born...... Minstrel!
In ancient and medieval times, bards have always been the most desirable and elegant profession.
These brave bards, with their ability to distinguish the weather, were able to spread all kinds of arts and trade between tribes, and more importantly, they were able to spread their genes.
Reproduction activities can bring pleasure.
The transmission of genes in such remote areas invisibly reduces the probability of inbreeding......
Thus, a completely stable primitive civilization was formed.
The birth of science is not an inevitable event of a civilization, it requires a harsh environment and a more rigorous ideology. The Glitzer civilization, which is addicted to all kinds of entertainment arts, has a very low probability of giving birth to science.
Time goes on like this......
Year ...... year
10,000 years and 10,000 years have passed......
This era of ignorance and carefree has continued......
Continuous......
It wasn't until 200,000 years ago that an advanced research spacecraft passed through here, breaking the deadlock of the Gliese civilization.
The alien civilization discovered that this intelligent race, which had given birth to language, writing, currency, various religions, and even excellent art and culture, had stayed in the most primitive tribal stage for a long time, and had not even established a state.
I am even more surprised that they have such a smart brain, and they have not given birth to natural science to improve their living environment.
This alien civilization, revered as the "Enlightener", may feel that this race has been ignorant and a little wasteful.
So a step was taken, and a new chapter in the Gliese civilization was opened!
What exactly did the "enlighteners" do, and how did they think about it, because the age is too old, it is really impossible to verify, and there are almost 10,000 theories of various historical materials of unknown origin. But one thing is similar is that in the literature of the various clans, the stay of this alien civilization should be very short, no more than 2 months.
It was these 2 months that brought earth-shaking changes to the Gliese civilization!
First of all, a large number of primitive religions that hindered the development of society have all disappeared!
The so-called "demonic dwelling" has unexpectedly appeared a god-like civilization...... All kinds of strange magical creations are called "science", and all lies are of course self-defeating.
This power of science can even defeat natural disasters!
It's ...... unimaginable.
Second, under this natural cult of "great power", mathematics and natural science have become the highest level of "art".
A large number of Gliese people, with the grace of learning these difficult knowledge.
In this way, the "Enlighteners" stayed for a short time, and a stormy ideological revolution appeared in the narrow strip of settlements, and the bards were ecstatic to spread new ideas to various settlements.
The places of residence began to cross with each other, and the "beauty of mathematics and natural science" began to flourish, and everyone studied circles, ellipses, conic curves, the principle of levers, buoyancy, ......
This new era is called the Middle Ages!
