Of all the ships of the missions of the Ctessi countries, the situation on board the French delegation seemed to be the most harmonious.

Because France is currently the most stable of the countries in Tessia.

In addition, the peace that lasted for more than ten years did not give much thought to the issue of war, from ordinary officials to civilian scholars.

The topics of discussion on the ship of the King of France tended to be purely scholarly, traveling, and literary creation.

There is a group of French naturalists who are analyzing and verifying the morphology and relationships of plants and animals around the world.

In this era of this world, the topic of biological evolution has become very hot.

The main reason is that science and technology have developed to the level of the 20th century, and the ability of human beings to explore the world has also improved simultaneously.

Almost everywhere in the world, humans have been able to reach it normally.

The corresponding observations and reflections that conform to the times also appeared earlier than the original history.

What's more, in the holy words of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, some of the holy words involve the evolution of species.

Although it is not specifically about the evolution of species, it gives a discussion of the nature of the direction.

One of the most representative sentences is: "natural selection, survival of the fittest".

Moreover, even in the original history, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the concept of the evolution and change of species was already formed.

In his Philosophy of Plants, published in 1809, Lamarck put forward the hypotheses of "use in and out" and "acquired inheritance".

Lamarck in the original history explicitly proposed the concept of species evolution at this time.

Although it may be wrong to guess the principles of evolution, people at that time already had the idea of species changing from simple to complex.

Lamarck of this world is alive now.

The theories of his current life are more mature and complex than those of his previous life, and their influence is also greater.

At present, researchers in this field, as well as aristocrats and scholars who understand this field, have basically recognized the concept of "species change".

At present, the main point of contention is what is the cause of the change of species, and the summary of the law of change.

and whether there are similar patterns of change between different human races.

Due to the existence of the Ming people, the differences and relationships between the Ming people, the Taixi people, the Tianzhu people, the big cannibals, the Yinzhou people, and the Mozhou people are one of the hottest topics in the related fields of Taixi.

Why is the Ming Dynasty strong, and does it have anything to do with the fact that the Ming people are inherently better?

The answer to this question does not need to be discussed in depth, and the vast majority of people in the world currently believe that it is related.

The Ming people are better than the Taixi people, and the Taixi people are better than the Mozhou people.

The question is why are the Ming people so good, and how did they become so good?

Can we become equally good once we find the pattern?

Of course, what they wanted to prove the most was that the difference between them and the Ming people was smaller, and the gap between them and the Mozhou people was even greater.

Many times, biology and history are at the service of sociology......

In the summary and analysis of these laws of change, Lamarck's "use in and out" and "acquired inheritance" are the same school.

A certain ability of a living organism that can provide practical assistance for its survival and reproduction will continue to increase, and vice versa.

These growing abilities can be inherited by its descendants, and in turn become stronger from generation to generation.

The spokespeople, of course, are Lamarck and his followers.

The other school is the analysis derived from the "natural selection, survival of the fittest" of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the many organisms, individuals who can adapt to the environment can survive and reproduce.

Otherwise, the individual will die and the population will be extinct.

The king and queen of France, as well as the king and queen mother, were on this ship.

Although Louis XVI's hobby was mechanical, Queen Marie especially liked to be lively, and she certainly wanted to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the Ming Emperor.

Louis XVII Charles also really had feelings for his parents, and he was not a true usurper king, so he came out with his parents.

Louis XVI was sixty-six years old, which was not particularly senile, and he certainly had no problem traveling on the most stable large passenger liner.

The discussion among the scholars on board of the ship, of course, also reached the ears of the two generations of kings, and then there was a conversation within the royal family.

Charles smiled and said to his parents, wives and children who were sitting and drinking tea:

"I think that when you put the two perspectives of advance and retreat and survival of the fittest, you have a sense of optimism and pessimism.

"Optimists feel that as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded, and as long as they work hard to improve, they can change the characteristics of the race.

"Pessimists feel that their efforts are meaningless, and the key is to look at the environment, the time and the place.

"You have to adapt to the current environment in order to survive, otherwise you can't live directly."

The contrast between optimism and pessimism is also a typical analysis of Emperor Shizu Guangwu.

When Marie Antoinette heard what her son said, she couldn't help but smile and express her opinion:

"I think they are all quite optimistic, at least they all admit that animals and even people can be promoted to the excellent level, rather than being static.

It's just that the former talks about the fate of the individual, and the latter looks at the fate of the entire race.

In other words, everyone feels that the Taixi people have a chance to become Ming people, rather than just maintaining the current gap......

"The French, in particular, are currently the most adapted to the current environment, right?"

Louis XVI put down his teacup:

"This is a fact, I have read a lot of analyses in the newspapers, and I can prove that the characteristics of animals change.

"There are comparisons of similar animals around the world, as well as experiments and cultures at the microbial level.

"Even, at the most basic level, the grain breeding and livestock breeding of the Ming Dynasty are changing the characteristics of animals and plants.

"Although those who have problems will be discarded, staying is to improve to a better level......

When Queen Mary heard her husband's point of view, she casually continued to ask:

"The selection and breeding of animals and plants is indeed very intuitive, but it should not be comparable to human society, right?

"We can let animals with clearly good characteristics breed as many offspring as possible, and then use their offspring as new breeds.

"Humans obviously can't do this, no one can control the union and reproduction of human beings......"

At this time, Louis XVII's queen Liu Muyu took over:

"Mother, I think, actually...... To some extent, it is possible to achieve a similar effect.

"Although we can't force individuals of the ethnic group to associate with whom, the fact is that most of the French people should want to be united with the Ming people, right?

"A long time ago, ordinary Taixi people would want to marry the Ming people as long as they had the opportunity.

"After I got married to Charles, it became more common.

"If in the future, most of the French, as well as the descendants of the French and the Ming people, will continue to marry the pure Ming people.

"Then the French in the future will become more and more like the Ming people, and in the end they will not distinguish each other at all."

Louis XVI listened and nodded slowly:

"It seems to make sense......

Queen Mary's focus is on another level:

"Then after a long time of mixing like this, will the French people in the future have no body odor?"

Liu Muyu shook his head directly and said:

"There will still be, as my sister told me...... According to His Majesty the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, body odor is the so-called 'autosomal dominant inheritance'.

"The offspring of a person with body odor will always have a half chance of having body odor."

At this moment, Queen Mary was a little stunned:

"What is ...... Autosome? What is dominant inheritance? Half of them always have body odor?

"And what about your and Charles' descendants, will they always have body odor?"

Liu Muyu recalled what her sister explained to herself, and explained the logic to her parents-in-law:

"Chromosomes...... It is the name given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the intrinsic genes that determine the morphology and characteristics of humans and animals.

"What kind of appearance and characteristics human beings will have, whether they will be born with diseases, are all determined by genes or chromosomes.

"Heredity refers to the various physical characteristics that can be passed on directly from parents to children, including various diseases, of course, but it may also have certain advantages.

"I don't know anything else, I only know about the genetic law of body odor, and I asked my sister to consult ......"

As Liu Muyu spoke, he asked the servant to bring a pen and paper and began to write and draw on it.

First, I drew two circles side by side, and then wrote two sets of symbols "甲甲" and "AA" in them:

"A person's genes come partly from their father and partly from their mother, so each person's genes are represented by two symbols.

"The so-called dominant inheritance means that as long as there is this gene in the body, it will directly develop the disease, which is represented by the Latin letter 'A'.

"People who don't have this gene, a completely normal gene, are represented by the Tiangan character 'A'.

"The vast majority of Tessie people have body odor, and most of their parents have body odor at the same time, so most of their genes are 'AA'.

"Most of the Ming people don't have body odor, and most of their parents don't have body odor, so most of their genes are 'Jiajia'.

"Now, a Taixi and a Ming are combined, and the genetic makeup of their children is a random combination of the two genes they have.

"In this way, two groups of four genes are combined in pairs, and there will be a total of four possibilities......

Liu Muyu draws four circles below them, and connects the four symbols in the above armor and AA to the four circles below:

"But the four possibilities of the combination of '甲甲' and 'AA' are exactly the same, and all four children are A's, and all contain a Latin letter A.

"As mentioned earlier, body odor is a dominant genetic disease, so 100% of their children have body odor......

"You have to wait until the third generation before they have the opportunity to wash off the body odor.

"When a child whose gene is 'Jia A' combines with the pure Ming 'Jia Jia' again.

"Of the four possibilities of combining two genes in pairs, there will be two 'A' and two 'A'.

"'A-A' doesn't have body odor, and 'A' has body odor, so the probability of having and not having it is 50 percent.

"When the fourth generation comes, the children of 'Jiajia' will be combined with the Ming people's 'Jiajia' again.

"After the genes of the two sides are combined, the four possibilities are all 'Jiajia', so that there is no body odor 100%.

"However, the remaining two genes are 'Jia'A' children, and when they are combined with the Ming people's 'Jiajia' again, the children still have a 50% probability of body odor.

"Finally, if the gene is 'A A', the child is also combined with the other second-generation mixed children of 'A A'.

"The combination of two genes in pairs, three of the four possibilities are 'A' and one 'A', that is, there is a 75% probability of having body odor.

"If the child of 'A'A' is united with the ordinary Tessie of 'AA'.

"Among the possibilities of genetic combinations, there are three AAs, one A A, and 100% body odor.

"And there is a 75 percent chance that it is still the 'AA' Tessie gene, and their offspring will still have 100 percent body odor."

Queen Mary and Louis XVI stared at the schematic diagram drawn by Liu Muyu, and after thinking for a while, they slowly understood the logic.

Queen Mary is a little more emotional:

"Why is this A so annoying, as long as it sticks, it must have body odor, and it will never be able to get rid of ......"

Louis XVI was a little more rational:

"Even if all the Taixi people are combined with the Ming people in the future, there will always be some children with body odor."

Charles is thinking more far-reaching:

"Therefore, among the people in the Ming Dynasty, there are also some people who are born with body odor, that is, there are foreign races among their ancestors?"

Liu Muyu also nodded directly and said:

"Yes, this body odor is called Hu odor in some places in Daming, which originally means the smell of Hu people.

"Although it is said that most of the Ming people are 'Jiajia', even if they are people with fox odor, most of them are JiaA, not the AA of the Taixi people.

"After they are combined, most of the children have only half the probability of getting sick, and half of the probability of not getting sick.

"If you put it into a specific family, it is possible for them to have several children without getting sick.

"However, when there is enough sample of the population, the probability of the disease of the whole population will be infinitely close to 50%.

"So unless an external force interferes, the body odor gene will never go away."

Liu Muyu is also a high-achieving student, of course, she can complete this level of logical thinking.

Charles was stunned for a moment, but also understood the logic:

"Unless you kill all the people who have body odor, or sterilize them all, that is, don't let them have offspring, but no one can do that."

Queen Mary here seems to have another idea when she hears this:

"People are inherently different.

"Even if ordinary Taixi people want to combine with the Ming people, they will rarely have the opportunity.

"The people who really have the opportunity and can really achieve it are basically aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, bureaucrats, and scholars.

"If France continues to reform and gradually implements the same selection and succession system as the Ming Dynasty.

"You can choose to inherit children who don't have body odor, and reduce the treatment of children who have body odor.

In this way, the top aristocracy of France has the opportunity to transform into new French people without body odor in three generations.

"In the future, if you see if there is body odor, you can know whether a person is really from an old aristocratic background."

When Liu Muyu heard this, she said worriedly:

"That's not a good thing, is it? This would separate the French upper class from the common people......"

Queen Mary said as a matter of course:

"It's originally separated, and the ordinary people and the upper class are originally two circles.

"Moreover, even according to Da Ming's theory, if you want to give some upward channels to the lower classes, it will not be affected by this.

"It's just a relatively clear standard added to this upward channel.

"That is, whether you can marry the Ming people, and whether your children will have a chance to get rid of body odor in the future."

Liu Muyu wanted to say something, but Xia Er next to her pressed her hand:

In fact, this has become a fact, and the whole French upper class is forming such a trend.

"All we can do now is try to avoid the problems that may arise as much as possible......"
