After a short period of silence.
The resurrected corpse squeezed out a sound from its throat and spoke hoarsely.
"The Essence of Human Origin."
The meaning is simply terrifying.
Essence? Origin?
Lin An frowned slightly, simply pulled over an unoccupied chair, and sat facing each other.
The words spoken by the resuscitator were too general.
This was the first time he used the resuscitation skill to communicate with the deceased. It seemed that the other party had indeed recovered his memory.
It's just that under the strange scene, the conversation between them can't help but feel weird.
"Details."
"What research directions have you done?"
"Origin? Are you trying to find the ancestral species that originated from humans? For example, some kind of ape, or earlier mammals?"
He put the question about the crystal skull at the end to prevent the resuscitator from having another accident.
Thinking of the zombies he saw in the picture, Lin An couldn't help but feel a faint sense of uneasiness.
But he didn't know where the uneasiness came from.
After the order was issued, he looked straight at the pale face, the big hole on the researcher's forehead, and even the back of the chair behind his head.
After a moment of silence, the expression on that lifeless face remained unchanged, and he answered stiffly:
"None of that."
"We have studied the so-called origin before, but later found out that it was wrong."
"What we are studying now is the real difference between humans and other species."
"And the biggest difference is emotion."
"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear."
Um?
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Moling listened carefully, with a trace of suspicion on his face.
"mood?"
"Isn't the biggest difference just the body structure?"
"Flies have wings, elephants have trunks, turtles and prawns have shells."
"Humans belong to the primates. Class, phylum, and class. The difference in classifying species is the biggest difference between us, right?"
Lin An did not speak, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Little Mo Ling.
Yes, although Mo Ling didn't make it clear, strictly speaking, the so-called emotions, feelings, and intelligence
They are all formed by different brain neural structures, or brain volumes.
Emotions are not their true essence, but their appearance.
Just like mineral water costing two yuan and Coke costing three yuan can quench thirst, but it is not the price of two yuan or five yuan that quenches thirst, but the water itself.
Emotions, thinking, reason, IQ, and differences between species are all phenomena caused by different body structures.
For example, bats have no eyes. The biggest difference between them and humans is that they have sonar detection.
Emotional intelligence, etc., are also due to differences in brain volume and structure, resulting in some arthropods and soft-bodied creatures lacking emotions such as joy, anger, fear, etc.
Just like fear in human emotions, it essentially comes from the amygdala of the brain and the cognition of specific things.
If a bug had the same brain structure as a human, it would also be able to think and have feelings.
Even adding vocal organs, vocal cords, etc., it can say a grateful thank you to you after receiving education.
It is putting the cart before the horse to think that animals lack some emotions and therefore are different from humans.
In fact, as long as electric shock is used to stimulate the "amygdala" in the brain area, people can fall into extreme panic for no reason.
To study the metaphysical existence of emotions is to stay on the surface.
This is a very "childish" way of thinking.
Just like the ancient people with backward technology, their simple world view believed that the biggest difference between humans and other animals lies in their different emotions and souls.
Animals have no emotions, or lack certain emotions, so they are not humans.
In less than a second, Lin An was equally confused after thinking about this.
It stands to reason that just the underground research center he saw proved that the technological means of this world cannot be too backward.
Even elementary school students know the truth, and there is no reason why the other party doesn’t know it.
Ask the past:
"Why do you think the biggest difference between humans and animals is in their emotions? Not in their physical structure?"
"What does this have to do with nature and the origin of human beings?"
"mistake."
The dead researcher answered fluently with a blank look in his eyes. Apparently he had answered this question many times during his lifetime.
"Our mainstream science also believed that the difference between humans and other species was their different body structures."
"Even the origin of early humans can be traced back to hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago. Maybe our ancestor was a fish that landed on the beach, or maybe it was an insect."
"All living things are carbon-based life forms. Different environments evolve different species, and humans are the most successful ones in evolution."
"To this end, in order to prove this theory, we have almost dissected, synthesized, and induced distortions of most species in nature, trying to find an evolutionary path."
After hearing half of it, Lin An became even more confused.
What are you doing?
How come the civilization of this regional world is still repeating what was accomplished in the real world as early as the 19th century?
Prokaryotic cells-Eukaryotic cells-Flatworms
Jawless (he) fish - Jawfish
Amphibians-Reptiles-Mammals
Ape-Ape-Man.
This is the evolutionary route that has been verified countless times in the real world and in the map of human origins.
Whether it is found from the embryonic stage that human hands and feet match the fins of fish, or in the human body structure, the ears have holes similar to fish gills.
A large amount of fossil evidence proves that the origin of human beings is the continuous evolution of a certain species over billions of years.
Could it be that this world has no fossils? Or lacks historical records, so that they need to find the route by dissecting existing species?
As soon as the idea came up, the researcher paused for a moment and then continued:
"Our fossil evidence proved this theory correct, but four months ago we discovered an unexplained loophole."
"This vulnerability is serious enough to destroy all evidence chains proving the origin of humankind."
Hmm? Is there a fossil record?
Lin An was slightly startled. It seemed that this place was the same as reality.
"What loophole?"
Ask subconsciously.
Vaguely, he felt as if he had come into contact with a terrible answer.
The researcher remained sitting stiffly and responded quickly like a robot:
"It's emotion."
"In human thinking, or instinct, there is an emotion that should not appear."
"This emotion should not appear in us, and it is even said that it cannot appear in all human evolutionary paths. This emotion does not conform to the logic of biological evolution."
To be continued...
