What is the concept of a million years?

The human existence time is only 6 million years, the Neolithic Age is only 10,000 years, and the civilization is only a few thousand years. [No pop-up novel network]

Compared with such a long geological time, a person's life is no stronger than a mayfly that dies in the twilight of life.

Even the most authoritative experts in the 21st century do not want to say how many years there is between the human era and the age of dinosaurs.

It's not a question of ability, it's a matter of great limitations in dating technology.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the most widely used dating method was radiometric dating, and the famous carbon-14 dating method is one of the radiometric dating methods.

Carbon 14 dating is so well-known that many people who don't know it think of it as a way to date dinosaur fossils.

They didn't know that carbon 14 has a short half-life, and can only be accurately measured for 10,000 years, roughly 20,000 years, and anything longer can be done. What is really used to date dinosaur fossils is actually fossil stones that are not recent

However, this method is not accurate at all, and can only roughly determine the age of the fossil, which is not surprising if it is three or five thousand years old, and millions of years wrong.

It's normal for the giant's ancestors not to know where to cross, and it's incredible to figure it out.

The thoughts that came to me were in He Jun's mind, and you sang and I appeared. But these messy thoughts were quickly squeezed out of his mind by a discovery The giant is the descendant of ordinary people, how can ordinary people have such a huge body?

Reminiscent of the dinosaur era, the size of organisms was generally larger, and it is obvious that the environment of this era affected the body shape of creatures. Therefore, it is inferred that the small size of human beings is directly related to the natural environment of later generations

This conclusion can probably earn some eyeballs in the academic world, but in this ghost place, it is useless to prove the grand unification theory.

He Jun, who had figured it out, had a clear idea, and the little shock just now became insignificant, and he asked indifferently: "Old man, you are here to tell us this?" ”

"No, of course not." The old giant replied. "This place is too dangerous, I hope you can leave with us."

The old giant's tone was extremely tactful. But everyone who heard this immediately became vigilant.

Modern people live in the era of information explosion, even if their brains are not bright, they can vaguely feel that the words of the old giant are not so simple.

He Jun suddenly felt that it was really a brainless decision to jump out and talk to the giant, and narrowed his eyes slightly. To put it bluntly: "Danger? I didn't see it, I just knew it was more dangerous to get out of here. ”

The old giant looked serious: "Young man, do you really think that the dozen or so cavalrymen will die at noon, and no one will trouble you?" ”

"What do you mean?" He Jun suddenly had a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

Awkwardly and in a whisper, "Didn't they let them take away seven or eight?" ”

"What are you yelling about?" Lin Kai snorted coldly, "They must have been slaughtered and wanted to frame them." ”

The old giant's expression was calm: "Since you don't believe me, what I said is also in vain, and then waved his arm at the giants who raised the torches, and turned his head to leave."

He Jun put on his headphones and smiled: "I bet." This old man must be waiting for me to call him."

"Then do you shout or not?" Bi Min asked curiously.

"If you don't shout, what else can he think of me? It's so beautiful that he "He Jun sneered," and said that his ancestors were modern people. Trick the devil to go. ”

"He lied?" Bi Min was surprised, "Where did you see that?" ”

Ma Ning pricked up his ears when he heard this, for fear of missing He Jun's words.

He didn't think he was worse than anyone else, but He Jun could hear the problem, but he didn't find anything wrong at all, he didn't believe that the gap between himself and He Jun was so big.

He Jun smiled: "He said that his ancestors were modern people. I ask you, what is the average height of a modern person? ”

"One meter six to one meter eight?" Bi Min said a range of nonsense.

"What about these giants? What do you think is the average height of a giant? He Jun asked again.

Bi Min hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's about two stories tall." Between five and six meters. ”

"Isn't this the end of it?" He Jun clenched his fist and knocked it in his palm.

"What?" Bi Min didn't understand at all, "Make it clear"

He Jun explained: "I don't need to say how long it will take to evolve, right? Think about it, a group of ordinary people have crossed here, even if they are affected by the environment, the size of each generation is getting bigger and bigger, how many generations does it take to evolve from about one meter seven to five or six meters tall giants? ”

Bi Min suddenly realized: "It will take a thousand years or two to say less, right?" It couldn't be less. ”

"Not necessarily." Ma Ning said, "If there is a genetic mutation, one generation will do." ”

"." Bi Min scoffed, "Just change one or two, can everyone change together?" ”

The two began to raise the bar again, He Jun simply didn't say anything, but the others were still waiting for the answer, and Qiqi, who was aroused by He Jun's curiosity, couldn't help but ask: "Brother He, don't sell it." ”

"That's it, I'm in a hurry." Awkwardness also helps.

He Jun smiled slightly: "Don't say much, even if it takes a thousand years to evolve into a giant, is a thousand years long?" ”

"Shouldn't it be too long?" Awkwardly hesitated.

A thousand years is no longer long for humans, but evolutionarily it is really short.

Let's put it this way, the pronunciation of the same word varies greatly from one era to another, a thousand years ago...... I mean about 1,000 A.D., it should have been the Song Dynasty at that time, and if you think about the lines in the Water Margin, you will know how different there is between modern people and Song Dynasty people. He Jun analyzed in simple terms, "If you think about it again, that old guy has no obstacles to communicate with me, and the language that has been passed down for two thousand years, how can there be no change in tone at all?" ”

This question really stopped everyone, and no one studied it, but this set of theories seems to make a lot of sense.

"Even if the tone is passed down well, the grammar has not changed?" He Jun's voice rose sharply, and then returned to a steady level, "For a thousand years, the intonation, grammar and words have not changed, is it possible?" ”

"And what do you say is going on?" Bi Min asked impatiently.

He Jun watched the giants around the community gradually retreat, watched the firelight slowly disappear between the dark forests, and said softly: "It is possible that they have come into contact with other traversers, and they have gained some benefits, so they beat our idea." "To be continued
