Chapter 82 Human beings are created
The origin of Genome is the early gene editing technology of the 21st century."
Ma Zhongkun's eyes were a little confused.
"At that time, the hottest thing was genetic engineering technology."
"Especially after discovering that we humans were created, can you believe that humans were created?"
Ma Zhongkun asked, looking at the cigarette butt.
"I believe that there are gaps in the history of human evolution. In the known 2 million years of human evolution, during the 130,000-year period from 200,000 years ago to 70,000 years ago, humans have no
It is unreasonable to find any hominid fossils, so the possibility of humans being created is very high, and every civilization has legends about the creation of humans, and many of them are created from soil."
Zhuo Qun replied that of course he knew that the humans in this world were created by engineers, but he couldn't tell and could only tell from myths.
However, the myths of various civilizations do contain records of the creation of humans.
In addition to Nuwa's creation of human beings, other ethnic groups in the Xia Dynasty have their own different legends of human creation. For example, the Zhuang nationality has a legend that the goddess created humans from urine mixed with soil, and became the ancestor of the Zhuang people. The Yi nationality's epic "Axi's Xianji"
"" records that the male god Are and the goddess Ami created the ancestors of the Yi people out of clay. According to Dulong legend, the god Gahe created the Dulong people out of clay.
Beyond Us North American Indian Myths, Diegno Myths, Shilluk Myths, Korku Myths of Central India, New Zealand Maori Myths, Australian Myths, Biran Myths, Sakaran Myths
.
In these myths, gods created humans out of clay, which is really terrifying when you think about it.
In ancient times, human beings had inconvenient transportation. The continents were separated by oceans, deserts, etc., making it impossible to communicate with each other. They were culturally isolated and unable to communicate. Under such circumstances, the connotations of the legends about the creation of humans spread around the world are surprisingly similar.
Human imagination is random, and the chance of coincidence and similarity is very small. However, in all ethnic groups and language areas around the world, the connotations of the legends about the creation of man are so similar. If they come from the same template, if it is not the real history, who is it?
Did you make this unified arrangement secretly?
Zhuo Qun told all these myths, and Ma Zhongkun applauded, "You are right, they are indeed very similar, but what if these are true, are we really created by God?"
"Why do you say that? But if it is true, it would be terrible. But what does this have to do with the Gene Sect?"
Zhuo Qun asked, he thought Ma Zhongkun might want to tell him about the engineer.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just asking for your opinion."
Ma Zhongkun watched Zhuo Qun remain silent for a while, then stubbed out the cigarette butt on a robot next to him.
"Through these legends, the geneticists believe that humans themselves can be genetically edited. They have conducted many experiments on crops and found that it is feasible. They can speed up the growth of crops, enhance disease resistance, increase yields, and enhance environmental protection.
Adaptability and enhanced resistance to herbicides and pesticides.”
"GM technology?"
"Yes, after that, genetically modified technology was used to improve the performance of fish farming, and it was also used to cultivate ornamental fish, which was applied to animal husbandry. This technology was also used to cultivate "super bacteria" that can decompose various kinds of chemicals in oil.
Some hydrocarbon compounds can also ingest and transform heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium, and decompose toxic substances such as DDT."
"Very good. They are all good applications."
"It's very good. As long as we make steady progress step by step, there will be no problem. But with the completion of the analysis of the human genome map, problems have arisen. Did you know? Human genes are incomplete! Human beings are always degenerating!"
Ma Zhongkun lit a cigarette.
"There are generally 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes, and the other pair of chromosomes are sex chromosomes, which are mainly a pair of chromosomes that distinguish gender. That is, X and Y."
"What on earth are you trying to say?"
Zhuo Qun looked at Ma Zhongkun. He didn't know why Ma Zhongkun mentioned this thing. What happened to the chromosomes?
"Don't worry, this is the point. 300 million years ago, the number of Y chromosomes in the human body reached 1,438. Now it has been slowly lost, reduced to 45. It is expected that in the next five million years, 45
The Y chromosome will be reduced or even disappear. Now you know what it means?"
Hearing Ma Zhongkun's words, Zhuo Qun's face turned green. Not only him, but all modern people who could hear these words turned green. Damn, is the final outcome of men disappearing?
They can all imagine the scene. The child raised his innocent face and asked, "Mom, what is the man in the book? Why haven't we seen it before?"
I'll do it. It's so scary that I can't even think about it.
"It's impossible for the Y chromosome to disappear, right? It's impossible for there to be pure female creatures, right? Haha, you really know how to joke!"
Zhuo Qun laughed dryly.
"The whiptail lizards are all female and they are completely self-sufficient on their own."
Zhuo Qun's face turned dark when he said this. How could he be slapped in the face so quickly?
"The Y chromosome is also special because it has no companions. Unlike the
There are only 45 Y genes left."
"It's scary. When this thing was first announced in the 21st century, it was really scary. And scientists came up with a solution, the Human Gene Completion Plan. When this plan was proposed, everyone was very excited. In a short time,
In a short period of time, geneticists all over the world began research."
"They found that there are a large number of untranslatable codes at both ends of each translatable gene chain. From this, we can guess that humans are actually a pieced-together creature. Humans have hair like land mammals, and they have hair under their skin.
The fat layer is like marine life. The most important thing is that the evolutionary history of human beings completely violates Darwin's theory of natural selection and is an impossible collection of genetic mutations. This is why we think humans were created."
"Scientists began to decipher those untranslatable genetic codes. At first, everyone just wanted to complete their own genes as much as possible. We made some progress in a short period of time. Among those untranslatable genetic codes, we did
We found traces of human manipulation. The level of technology is dozens of generations higher than ours. We can only find traces but cannot understand them at all."
"Then, they split and divided into two factions. One faction wanted to integrate the existing human genes and preserve the existing genes as much as possible to prevent the loss of our genes. The other faction believed that we humans were being manipulated
If they are manufactured and have common characteristics of many living things, then we must use the genes of other living things to complement our genes, so that we humans can become our own creators. This school is the gene school."
