Chapter 220: We Are Monkeys

In the study, Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows: "This view of Haifeng's "Origin of Species" is the mainstream view of the Immortal Kingdom?" In this preface, Qin Xianao believes that Duan Haifeng's "Origin of Species" views coincide with the research results of the Immortal Kingdom.

In the eyes of the core figures in the martial arts world, the Immortal Kingdom was forged by Qin Xianao, and Li Qingzhao was deeply influenced by Li Kefei, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others, so he naturally had doubts about the Immortal Kingdom.

"Even if the Immortal Kingdom was forged by Qin Xianao, there is no doubt that the two of them have the same views on the origin of this species, then this point of view ......" Li Qingzhao read the latter part of the preface urgently, Qin Xianao did not blow the conch like in the newspaper last time, but only praised Duan Haifeng for his rigorous argumentation and not letting off empty cannons, this kind of scholarly attitude is exactly what he Qin Xianao has always advocated and so on.

Turning to the preface, it continues—

"I have been studying since I was a child, and I saw Yanzi say, 'orange is born in Huainan as orange, and born in Huaibei as orange', I think about the similarity between domestic pigs and wild boars, dogs and wolves, domestic chickens and pheasants, domestic cats and wild cats, whether pigs are raised at home, they are domestic pigs, and they are wild boars outside......"

"When I was 10 years old, I heard about a family where a sow ran away from home and came back a month later and gave birth to a piglet, which was different from ordinary pigs......"

"All of this has prompted me to think about the relationship between species......

This is Duan Haifeng's self-preface, in the vernacular, Li Qingzhao read it with great interest. Until-

"With regard to the origin of species, if scholars consider the interrelationship, embryonic relationship, geographical distribution, geological succession, etc., they can imagine that they will come to the following conclusion: species are not created independently, but are inherited from other species like variants......"

Li Qingzhao's heart jumped.

Species were not created independently? If humans were included, then the existing interpretations of heaven, earth, man, and all the sages would ......

And what is the matter with the fact that species are inherited from other species? Isn't it 'born with everything?'

Li Qingzhao continued to read.

"However, even if this conclusion is well-founded......"

"I think the 'creation relics' theorists would assert ......"

The more I read Li Qingzhao, the more stunned I became. The eyes are also getting brighter and brighter.

"Species are actually mutating, which means the origin of all things in all the stories we have heard, whether it is Pangu opening the heavens and incarnating all things, or God creating all things, or ...... It's all wrong. At least not so accurate......" Li Qingzhao shouted in his heart.

Duan Haifeng's preface is not all nonsense like Qin Xianao's preface, but it is very sufficient, and even says that this preface is the outline of the whole book, therefore, the views of the whole book are gradually disclosed in the preface, and this general point of view -

Species are not immutable, and those so-called co-genus are direct descendants of a species whose unit genus has become extinct, just as a recognized variant of any species is a descendant of that species. I also believe that natural selection is the main, not the only, way of mutation.

Although there are some new terms in the preface that Li Qingzhao has never seen, the general meaning is still understandable.

Although I understand the point in the preamble. But more doubts surfaced in Li Qingzhao's mind, she continued to scroll down, after the preface, there were some explanations of terms, and then the text.

Chapter 1: Domestication and Mutation!

Chapter 2: Natural Variation!

Chapter 3: The Struggle for Survival!

......

Li Qingzhao is completely caught in the book. On the side, Xiu'er was busy with her own business, and from time to time she entered the boudoir to watch, only to see Li Qingzhao's face ruddy and her eyes shining from time to time. In this situation, Xiu'er naturally understands that it is reading a good book. Or Li Qingzhao has great results in writing poems, or it will only come when he thinks about the problem and thinks it through.

"Is this book really that good?" Xiu'er was itching in her heart, and she couldn't wait to come to Li Qingzhao's side to peek.

Time passed, and suddenly Li Qingzhao trembled.

"This ...... How is this possible?"

"Species are changing, not static, I believe. Maybe it's possible, but ......"

"There has never been an independent species in this world, this ...... If there is no species created independently, where does that species come from?" Li Qingzhao shouted in her heart that it was impossible, but this book was unlike any book she had ever seen. After each conclusion is presented, there will be detailed, lengthy, complex, thorough, and rigorous arguments.

Li Qingzhao shook his head and continued reading, suddenly-

"Man is an ape?"

"We humans were transformed from apes?"

"Do humans and apes have a common ancestor?"

Looking at this absurd conclusion, Li Qingzhao's whole head felt enlarged, and his blood seemed to stop flowing for a while.

"Is this really what Qin Xianao is boasting about?"

"This is the result of Duan Haifeng's research?"

Li Qingzhao is not an ordinary person, ordinary people have few books, and a lot of their understanding of all things is based on false rumors, and they know it from oral stories, but Li Qingzhao has not only heard all kinds of legends and stories, but is also familiar with various classics.

Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or the hundred schools of thought, in their understanding, people are basically different.

Therefore, Dong Zhongshu is based on Confucianism, based on the framework of yin and yang five behaviors, and adopts the ideological essence of the hundred schools of thought such as 'Huang Lao', and establishes a Confucian ideological system, which pays attention to the induction of heaven and man, and the divine authority of the monarch, and believes that there is a 'mandate of heaven', 'heavenly will', and 'heavenly will'. It is believed that people can sense the heavens.

But here it is said that man is changed by a monkey, and there is no difference between man and monkey and beast, what is this?

Slowly looking at the following narrative, Li Qingzhao felt that his whole heart was trembling, and this tremor seemed to be excited, but also seemed to be apprehensive and nervous......

"If people really become monkey......s?

"Then this subversion is too terrible!"

"If man really shares the same ancestor with the ape, then this discovery will be ......" Li Qingzhao couldn't help but be excited, couldn't help but be excited, because this kind of discovery was too amazing and incredible......

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but be nervous, and even sweated on his forehead, because if this was really accepted by the world, what was the 'induction of heaven and man', what 'every grass and tree is reasonable', and what 'the words of the king, the ministers dare not disobey'...... Now it is the most popular, and the mainstream academic views have to be overturned.

And this ...... What kind of ideological concussion will it cause?

Li Qingzhao was excited, excited, and apprehensive...... At that time, countless readers all over the world also read this "Origin of Species" and became excited.

"Crazy, completely crazy!"

"This Haifeng is crazy, Qin Xianao is also crazy, and he actually concluded in this book that man is changed from ape, and man and monkey have a common ancestor, is it because man and monkey look alike?"

......

"The Origin of Species" is nothing if it only shows that species are changing, for ordinary readers, especially young scholars, they are still in the stage of receiving ideas, and their views are novel, as long as they are reasonable, they can naturally accept them.

Species are changing, but they overturn the two theories of 'creationism' and 'species are unchanged'.

Now Qin Xianao has overturned many theories.

Shi Daoru was slapped in the face many times.

A little more, it's acceptable.

However, because species are changing, and we have to prove how to change, so as to prove what is the ancestor of what species and what is the ancestor of what species, and then what is the ancestor of man, the animal?

Countless readers who read "The Origin of Species" turned huge waves in their hearts, although they felt extremely shocked, but they were also even more excited.

What if all this is true?

Doesn't that mean......

These readers were even more excited, eagerly reading.

And then-

"Creatures gradually develop from simple to complex, from low to high!"

"Natural selection is the driving force of biological evolution!"

"There is only one ancestor in life......"

......

One point of view was thrown out, and it was argued in various ways, because of the help of Yuwen Rouniang, the examples of argumentation in the book are extremely sufficient, so as long as there is no prejudice in my heart, I feel very convincing when I read it.

"The Origin of Species" has a simple point of view, and the reason why it is so long is nothing more than to argue, and it can be said that the whole book, chapter by chapter, is a long argument.

The arguments drawn in the arguments are more shocking than the other, and even the idea that 'there is only one ancestor in life' has come out, but everything comes naturally under rigorous argumentation, so the more you read it, the more you feel that the view that 'man is a monkey' is very likely to be correct.

The scholars felt happy and excited to read it one by one. And ordinary people, although most of these people are superstitious, and even believe in ghosts and gods, and believe in the will of heaven and earth, many people are extremely worshipful and convinced of Qin Xian's arrogance.

And this book was recommended by Qin Xianao frantically and agreed with the views in it.

Therefore, although I was shocked to read that "species are changing, not created independently", and "living things have gradually developed from simple to complex, from low to high", I felt that it was completely different from the legend and the story, but I quickly accepted it.

"Legends and stories are told by the older generation, don't we also make up stories to coax children now!"

"What Qin Xianao agrees with must be more reasonable than the stories made up by the older generation, and this is what the Immortal Kingdom also agrees with!"

"Besides, aren't they all being argued one by one, I think this argument is very reasonable......

......

Although there are many people who are skeptical or even opposed to the ideas in the book, more people are excited to read this completely normal, novel and logical viewpoint, especially when they see the subversive ideas such as "man is changed from apes" and "there is only one ancestor in life".
