I also wanted to grow up quickly, I also wanted to go far away, I also regretted growing up, I also regretted leaving my parents, growing up in pain, and being strong in struggle!

When Duan Pingsi woke up in the morning, although his body was still in pain, his heart was already full of strength, which was a force for growth, a force that could only move forward bravely.

"Hello!"

When Duan Pingsi came out of the dormitory, a girl stopped him, but it was Liu Jiaying.

"Why are you here?"

Duan Pingsi was very curious if this girl had come specifically to find him or if she happened to be passing by.

"They asked me to come to you, saying that they had a big operation today and were short of manpower, and it would be easier for them to take care of them if we could stay in one place."

Liu Jiaying brushed her hands after speaking, and said that I don't want to come to you either, it's just that I was asked to do it, and I'm also helpless!

"Have you eaten?" Duan Pingsi asked.

"I just got up and came, I live far away." Liu Jiaying brushed her hands again after speaking, saying that she couldn't blame me.

"Then I will ask you to nibble on pig's trotters, how about it?" Duan Pingsi suggested.

"No better!"

Liu Jiaying walked in front of her every year, and Duan Pingsi noticed that the girl was wearing a cyan skirt today, still in a dresssuit, with a pair of cyan canvas shoes on her feet, like the little girl next door on TV.

Girls are irresistible to the temptation of food, after eating a round pig's trotter and two sharp pig's trotters, Liu Jiaying still felt that it was not refreshing enough, and Duan Pingsi, who had no choice, had to buy another round pig's trotter for her to gnaw.

After eating the pig's trotter meal, the two came to Duan Pingsi's laboratory, and before they entered the door, Liu Jiaying was frightened by the sign at the door: "This is the 'State Key Laboratory of the Origin of Life and Paleontological Restoration', it seems that you are very powerful!" ”

"Where! Where! It's Professor Ah who is very powerful, and I'm just starting now. ”

Duan Pingsi politely invited Liu Jiaying into the rest area of the laboratory he had cleaned up, poured her a glass of water, and pointed out the location of the bathroom for her, and then came to the side of Professor A and the others.

"What we want to do today is to dissect the head of the ancient ape, mainly by you, we will help you together, don't be nervous, just like you did before to unplaning the rabbit."

Professor A looked at Duan Pingsi with expectant eyes, all the tools needed to understand planing were already prepared in front of them, and several professors such as Wang Chao, Gao Yuan, and Chen Huasu were standing in front of the planing table.

"I'll do my best, and ask a few teachers to remind me in time if something is wrong."

Without the soaking of formalin and the pungent smell of alcohol, the process of deplaning becomes easy and pleasant. Duan Pingsi took the knife and fell, first peeling off the scalp of the skull, and then gradually cutting the skin of the face......

"This kid's basic skills are still quite solid, haven't you had such an undergraduate for many years?"

Gao Yuan hugged his arms and admired while watching.

"But no, it's still Professor A's discernment!" Chen Huasu echoed.

"Don't praise him, it's hard for him to progress when he's happy!" Professor A was naturally extremely proud to see that his new disciple was so capable.

The dissection process was nearing the end under the attention of several people, and Duan Pingsi finally pried open the skull of the "Australopithecus" and carefully took out its brain intact.

"Wow! So big? ”

Wang Chao took the brain of the "ancient ape" with a porcelain plate, placed it on the scale, and looked at the "behemoth" in front of him with shocked eyes, and he found that its milky white cerebral cortex was crisscrossed by furrows, which seemed to be more complex than the human brain.

The balance reads 4088g, and after removing the weight of the porcelain plate of 2000g, the total weight of the brain of this "australopithecus" reaches 2088g, which is far more than the weight of a human brain of 1400-1600g, and most importantly, its cortex area also seems to be much larger than that of humans.

"This ...... This ......"

Several people were speechless for a while, no one thought that this "ancient ape" would bring them such a big surprise, first of all, its DNA sequence is 99.9% similar to that of humans, secondly, the age of its life does not belong to any known period, and finally the structure of its brain is far more complex than that of modern humans.

"This is an ape with a higher level of evolution than modern humans," Professor Ah muttered, "and is the most advanced creature with the most advanced brain evolution ever discovered......

"That's not right...... Duan Pingsi, who was holding a planing knife, suddenly made a new discovery, "You see, corresponding to the location of the motor and language functional areas of the human brain, these two places are too small. ”

Gao Yuan, Wang Chao and the others all came over to look at the place where Duan Pingsi pointed his fingers, and they found that the two areas of his precentral gyrus (motor center) and Broka area (speech center) were very narrow, which meant that the "ancient ape" may not have good motor and language skills.

"Such a small motor and language center," Wang Chao laughed, "it is too inconsistent with such a well-developed brain!" ”

In the process of animal evolution, movement and language are two very important functions, poor motor ability, no effective language communication between individuals, this animal cannot evolve to the height of human beings, and it is impossible to create a civilization as developed as humans.

Professor A said with some disappointment: "I thought I had found the creature that created the prehistoric civilization, but it turned out to be just an ape with a more developed brain. ”

Gao Yuan sat down and sighed: "But this matter is still unbelievable, so far, we can say that we still don't know anything about it!" ”

"I don't believe that such an oversized brain is just a maldeveloped ape, you think about it, just the degree of intact preservation of its brain is not something that can be done by any natural conditions and human technology, and from the analysis of age and DNA, it should be inextricably linked to humans......

Chen Huasu continued to analyze with the intuition of a woman: "I think it may be an unknown human close relative who has survived to the present, or it may be a mutation of modern humans at all!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. The quality of scientists makes them not rush to refute other people's opinions, but each savor Chen Huasu's words.

The possibility of her point of view is very high, the earth is so big, there are always some corners that humans can't reach, and human beings are discovering new species every year to illustrate this truth.

In addition, with the deterioration of the environment, due to waste pollution and radiation of radioactive elements, it is still very possible for human embryos to produce such mutations, if such a human baby is born, it is very likely to be abandoned by their parents, and the baby is raised by wild beasts There is also a lot of news, this kind of possible combination, may create the "ancient ape" inevitable.

The problem now is that Duan Pingsi and the others only have the carcass of this animal in their hands, and the trunk part is missing, so many of the subsequent conjectures are difficult to verify.

"Maybe we should find its torso!" Professor A looked at several people with firm eyes and said.
