Chapter 329: The Artisan of Tragedy
The flashing fire was filled with a trace of thick light, which seemed to illuminate everything. Perhaps it was just to color the picture and rejuvenate this era that could only exist in the black and white world.
Before this color, there was a stone tool. Wang Yang was holding it. He looked at the stone tool carefully, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like electricity, and in his opinion, it had been covered with a layer.
Memory fragments of gray.
The fragments are very bleak and cannot reflect any luster at all, and they do not know the glory it once had.
But at this moment, Wang Yang's eyes were like a computer, inputting codes representing colors into his mind, trying to reorganize the fragments and shine.
So gradually, the stone tool became radiant and the memory fragments became radiant.
I saw that two-thirds of this stone tool was an irregular round body of a can, with pits and depressions. But I think that when those people made it, I hope it was round because this was the place to grasp it.
Further ahead, it is obviously much sharper, some of which look like a cone, but in fact, the tip part is not a cone, but a flat one.
Looking further ahead, you will find that the flat ports are actually very sharp. When you touch your fingers, you can feel the awkward touch of the skin being a little scratched.
Obviously, this is a stone tool that has been made, and it is a very good stone tool. There are typical chisels on the surface of the stone, which is not incompatible with the tribe's stone cone.
But the stone cone is different from it. The stone cone is not polished carefully. It is usually to find a stone with half a blade, then use another stone to knock it out half, or even more.
It should be said that this is a very wasteful approach, because to process a stone cone, a good stone knife embryo is wasted.
But after Wang Yang appeared in this world, he changed the method of creating a stone cone. He would draw a dotted line, then take other stones and break the dotted line.
It ensured that the other half was well preserved, so it turned into two stone cones. Then he carefully beat and grind it, which made it look a bit delicate.
Just to talk about the degree of elaboration, naturally, the stone tools that Wang Yang later changed later, but if Wang Yang had not traveled here, the weapons of those "giants" would be very exquisite.
At least in this era, it is a top-notch weapon.
The stone tool in Wang Yang's hand now is not a stone knife or a stone cone, but a stone axe.
The concept of an axe is deeply rooted in people's hearts. A long handle made of wood has sharp iron at the front, which is completely different from the "axe" in front of you.
But this is the stone axe, at least the scientific name is called, although it looks very much like a grenade.
Wang Yang recognized this hand axe because it was so famous and spanned an extremely long time.
This is one of the representative tools of Asheli culture, the hand axe.
In the evolutionary history of human beings, there have been several cultures, including the Oduwei culture belonging to the era of the capable people.
The characteristic of the Oduwei culture is that taking two stones and hitting each other is like cutting bricks with hands.
Everyone knows that they first took a stone and took it as a brick. They held another stone in the other hand and chopped it off according to the stone that was regarded as a "brick". The stone was in half and it became sharp.
The edge of the
This is a very primitive stone tool processing. Basically, like what Wang Yang saw, the stone cone is also processed in this way.
These are the Oduwei culture, which is very primitive and clumsy, but it is the beginning of civilization and lasts not long.
After the Oduwei culture, the longest Paleolithic culture of mankind has arrived, which is the Asheli culture.
The Asai Relic culture began to prevail for a full 1.7 million years ago to 200,000 years ago.
The horror of duration, from the late stage of the Aokao, to the early stage of Homo sapiens, it actually experienced the evolution of three major human races!
During this period, countless races and races that appeared and became extinct were countless, which was the best in the Paleolithic era.
You should know that a talented man has just left the academic category of apes and man and is already a very pure man, but in the hearts of modern people, humans at this time are still apes and man.
To be precise, it should be a primitive man. The ape man is another half-human, half-human, half-ama, and no ape. I don’t know how he joined the ranks of the primitive man.
It was from such a group of extremely primitive people who were still apes in the hearts of humans, and they continued throughout the great era of Homo erectus, and finally entered the early stage of Homo sapiens.
What is Homo sapiens? Modern people are Homo sapiens!
It is an incredible thing for a culture to be able to grow from primitive humans to the early days of Homo sapiens.
It is so terrifying and huge, which shows how it is.
So what exactly is the reason that humans have survived in this culture millions of years ago? Could it be that this culture has its attractive magic?
The answer is, no!
Although this culture has been spent so much time, it looks magnificent, majestic and proud, and can cross the Yalu River.
But in fact, the content contained is extremely lacking and not much special. It is a bit like the Chinese hoe. A hoe appeared thousands of years ago, and thousands of years later, the hoe was still the same hoe.
Stone culture basically only made more progress in hundreds of thousands of years, and then stagnated for hundreds of thousands of years, and then went further.
It did not develop until Homo sapiens appeared.
Throughout the entire culture, the development of stone-making tools gradually changed, and the more detailed and exquisite manufacturing period suddenly came.
In order to meet a better living environment, face more wild animals, adapt to changes in ecosystems and changes in food composition.
Therefore, in the late Nengren period, the first batch of stone tools with the characteristics of Aseri culture appeared.
The hand axe is the most distinctive stone tool.
It is a carefully crafted complex stone tool. It is easy to use, but it is complex. It must be carefully crafted. It is thin and sharp. It is the symbol of the stone tool of the Asheli culture.
At this time, humans had realized that thinner blades have more powerful damage.
The person who invented this type of stone tool is a capable person, a person who has developed it, a Homo erectus, a person who has eliminated and improved it is a Homo sapiens.
It seems that I can't get rid of these three types of people, and it seems that the identities of those "giants" are still unclear.
However, according to various archaeologists, a human race had already begun to make large quantities of these kinds of stone tools 1.8 million years ago, from 1.7 million years ago.
The name of this human is called "craftsman"!
"Craftsman!" Wang Yang finally remembered, his eyes flashed brightly. He was not surprised by the Ashire culture that appeared at this time. He said that he lived for 1.7 million years ago, he lived for 1.8 million years.
It’s tens of thousands of years before and after.
"It's just tens of thousands of years... Huh? What does it mean to be tens of thousands of years? I can't live that long." Wang Yang felt very distressed. Once he entered history, he felt that it wouldn't be a big deal if he hadn't been around for hundreds of millions of years.
But my life span is less than a hundred years, and I guess I will die in a few decades. It is very contradictory and speechless.
Get back to the point.
Humans are divided into species and named, which are very interesting, such as those who are capable, capable and skillful.
Homo erect man, walking upright person.
Homo sapiens, wise man.
And craftsmen are people like craftsmen.
The origin of craftsman is actually very interesting and boring. There were no craftsmen, but in the late stage of the Avatar, there would always be human migration.
Taking the earth as an example, we always go out of Africa.
The two places are far apart and have never had intermarriage. Different cultures and environments make different evolutionary choices.
So there were various characteristics of people.
This period was a very strange period between 1.8 million and 1.7 million years ago. There were many races in this period, including capable people, homo erect people, and craftsmen.
According to a certain point of view, human evolution is roughly divided into Australopithecus, Aesthetic, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens.
These are four categories.
There is a theory that it is a capable man, a craftsman, a erect man, and a sage man.
This theory is not very credible, and there are not many people supporting it, and Wang Yang doesn't believe it either.
Because the extinction of the Homo erectus was about 1.7 million years ago, and the Homo erectus appeared 1.75 million years ago. Just as the Homo erectus was about to become extinct, the Homo erectus appeared.
The craftsman appeared one million and eight hundred million years ago, and the extinction was one million and four hundred thousand years ago.
In other words, craftsmen appeared in the late stage of the Nengren period, tens of thousands of years earlier than Homo erectus, which is also the basis for those who support craftsmen as Homo erectus ancestors.
But why don't they need that damn brain to think about it. The craftsman died one million and four hundred thousand years ago and coexisted with the Homo erectus for hundreds of thousands of years. If it really evolved like this, it would be able to evolve hundreds of thousands of years.
Year?
So, those guys' brain cells are more precious than Wang Yang's, and they are reluctant to kill some.
Wang Yang is quite confident, why? You can refer to the time when the Aristocracy replaces Australopithecus, or you can refer to the time when the Homo sapiens replaces Homo erectus.
No one has been more than 200,000 years, and no one else has wasted so much time to evolve.
According to Wang Yang's speculation, craftsmen, like Homo erectus, were evolved from capable people, but Homo erectus ruled the world and continued, but craftsmen were eliminated.
The success is the king and the defeat is the enemy. Since they are eliminated races, there are naturally few opportunities for craftsmen to appear in front of the world. So Wang Yang thought for so long before he thought of these tragic children.
"So they are craftsmen..." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes. Craftsmen are just a branch of human evolution, and no one is interested in paying attention to how they become extinct.
During their extinction, no particularly huge environmental changes occurred and were not famous at all.
To be honest, Wang Yang is not very interested in them, he is really a tragic group of people.
It was still the scenery of Neanderthals in later generations. When they were extinct, a series of large and small animals such as elephants, blade-toothed tigers, and saber-toothed tigers were buried with them. The scene was so glorious, better than the emperor's funeral.
It's also luxurious.
