Thinking of the label, Dixing took another look at the two fish ponds by the river.

The size of the fish pond is not very large, after all, this small river is only five meters wide, and the depth is almost two meters, and the swamp dragon species stay here, and after a few movements, the water is exposed.

The school of pseudonest dragons he evolved had a distinct dorsal sail in one group, and a group in ...... He is poking his head out of the water, trying to observe the surface of the river and its surroundings.

Even, Dixing saw a pseudo-nest fish with the label of [Sentinel (Dinosaur)], and was observing the dinosaur man Avalac on the side.

At this moment, Avalac was also scratching on the ground with his paws, inscribed what he had learned when he swiped the screen education for them this morning.

The body structure that is somewhat similar to that of the black-scaled kobold, so it has no problem sitting on the ground in a sitting position, with its legs crossed.

It's just that the constantly wagging tail makes it look a little ...... Immature.

It's obviously a two-meter "big tall man".

Oh, except for the king rex species, all of them can reach more than two meters? That's fine.

Earth's gaze turned to the group of small fish living in groups.

I don't know if it's because of the different specialization tendencies brought about by labels, or because of the effect of "gregary" itself.

From an evolutionary point of view, there are many theories as to why humans have developed "high intelligence".

The most classic, there is the "division of hands and feet", that is, the movement only relies on two legs, the forelimbs are liberated, and the use of tools leads to a higher degree of brain development, the brain capacity increases, and the larger the brain can develop more tools, which in turn require a larger brain to remember, learn and use, and the liberated hands gradually develop in the direction of tactile specialized senses, and more tactile information requires greater brain processing and enters a positive cycle.

The second is to walk on the ground itself, the field of vision on the tree is broad, and there is no need to enhance vision and hearing, but because the tree is reduced and the action of going down to the ground, you need to stand straighter, but because of the accumulation on the tree, the level of vision and hearing is low, resulting in insufficient, you need to stand up straight, enhanced, the enhancement of senses, especially the enhancement of vision, requires a stronger processor to process visual information.

The third is "difficulty in parenting", because the ground is upright, the pelvis is narrowed, and newborns are born prematurely and need more care, which promotes the degree of brain development, and then the newborn's head is larger, and then it needs more care and enters the positive circulation.

And there's one more-

Live together.

Or rather, the expansion of social scale.

Living in a group requires socialization, the need to remember individuals in the same group, the complex social environment, complex emotional responses, complex language expressions, and the need for a larger processor to process this information.

Not only do you need to deal with the field, but there is also intra-clan competition, and within a group, there are individuals who want to become leaders.

Among chimpanzees, there are also cases such as assassination of leaders.

To deal with external enemies, but also to deal with internal competition......

The processing of various stacked information allows the brain to gradually expand.

One might ask, isn't the bacterial fungal bee stronger in terms of population size?

Yes, just in terms of scale, it is true, but ...... What about absolute values?

Dig out a human brain, and the sheer capacity is more than that group of small things combined.

Although it is not clear which played a decisive role, it is certain that a combination of factors contributed to the development of the brain and the foundation of human intelligence.

He didn't know if humans in this world had evolved naturally, but he believed that the social label might increase the intelligence of individuals.

However, humanity has not reached the end of wisdom.

Compared to Stone Age humans, modern humans' brains have shrunk.

But that doesn't mean that humans have become stupid in modern times.

Different environments have different needs, and in ancient times, life required constant identification and feeding of wild grasses and wild fruits, and constant avoidance of various pests, and the brain processing in this area was stronger.

However, in modern times, the need for these has decreased, and on the contrary, the need for information such as graphics and text has increased.

Part of it degraded, part of it strengthened.

Diodes are described in general terms without subdividing them, and it is easy to draw wrong conclusions.

In addition, many creatures even have the ability to "grow for life", and as long as they can live forever, they will continue to grow, but because of aging, illness, and the burden on the body due to excessive body size, etc.

Although human beings cannot grow for life, with the abundance of modern food resources, the physique of human offspring is constantly increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

Although part of it is to make up for the shortcomings, it is to fill the hole that has not been filled in the first place.

In addition to physique, the size of the human brain is also affected by the supply of food resources, the brain is a luxury tool, the consumption determines that the larger it is, the more energy it will consume, and even the degradation of the human tail may have the reason why it is necessary to supply more resources to the brain.

What the company is looking forward to is to develop the brains of dinosaurs through social labels.

It doesn't need to be too complicated, at least it can reach the level of a human being, be able to understand information, and execute commands.

In terms of body size, in terms of head size, dinosaurs were able to develop a larger brain capacity than humans.

So, it needs to be tried.

And Dixing didn't expect that it would gain something so quickly.

Although there are still many places where this group of fish is stupid, from his observations, there are already some "non-instinctive behaviors" other than survival and eating.

As for the intelligence level of a dolphin that bites off its head as a human toy, he doesn't expect it.

According to the previous key factors for the development of "intelligence", there are several directions.

"Social living" and the like, labels that can reinforce the social behavior and complexity of the group.

Language, that is, the hieroglyphs of the Dragon's Nest script that are now taught to them.

Sensory enhancement labels such as "visual specialization", "auditory specialization", and "tactile specialization".

Roughly in three directions.

This is not only for the dinosaurs below, he also wants to try whether the development of these aspects can make him smarter.

Don't talk about being smart, even if it's just to make his reflexes faster.

Theoretically, in addition to the physical limitation of the size of the braincase, there is only one limiting factor for the brain: "food resources".

Is it that the bigger your brain is, the smarter you will be?

Or, you can also try something different -

Strengthens nerves in other areas.

For example, the knee jerk reflex and other responses that do not pass through the brain, and the nerves in some parts carry some fixed feedback patterns to external stimuli, which is equivalent to sharing some of the pressure on the brain.

If there are two brains......

Di Xing shook his head, this idea is not very good, the issue of "independent will" is too sensitive.

However, you can try it on the experimental dragon species.

Unfortunately, there are no echinoderms like starfish here, so it would be nice to try some of them.

In addition to that, there is also your own body type.

Although, now that he had evolved that [Torso: Bloodwind Transformation] tag, he was ready for his flight.

However, he is still a little unsure, he is now more than seven meters in size, what kind of burden will he bear when he flies?

Is there any way to lose weight without reducing attack and defense?

Optimize the structure, how to optimize the method?

Evolve the air sac into the bones, and fill all the blood energy into the bones?

The bones of a tire like a large machine like a minecart?

This brain hole made Dixing himself a little speechless.

However, the most important thing for him to consider is whether the back sail on his back can successfully evolve into wings that are enough for him to fly.
