Deep Space Planet Leader

The cultural tradition of the Riley people is to attribute everything to the Spiritual God.

Although this approach is easy and convenient, everything can be learned from religious books Get an explanation, which makes Riley people not think about the meaning of life, and naturally there is not much confusion.

However, to attribute the meaning of one's own existence to the "Spiritual God" of illusory undoubtedly reduces the subjective initiative of the ontology.

"Although their behavior looks very funny, it is not Innate's stupidity in fact, but because the intelligence of the overwhelming majority individual has not been developed to the greatest extent, even if some are naturally intelligent It was wasted."

After talking about this, Zhang Yuan remembered some short stories he heard during the Earth period. In certain areas, it is common for locals to snatch things from foreigners. This seems to be a kind of their culture. They feel that since they are poor, snatching others is as it should be by rights.

In some areas, begging has become a common occurrence.

If someone shows kindness and gives money to beggars, they will feel as it should be by rights without any gratitude. They believe that the gifts of others are guided by the gifts of Spiritual God. Since it is guided by Spiritual God, why should I be grateful?

But if you change another way, for example, let the other party throw the stone in the middle of the road to the side of the road, and then give them money, this kind of trivial thing within their power, they will not want to, and even think it is. An insult...

This kind of thinking does exist on Earth, and it is difficult to change, mostly in remote and poor countries.

So, it is not surprising that these Riley people have been extended to them.

"So, a civilized culture is very, very important, including cultural heritage and spiritual core. It is the backbone of civilization. Our new civilization has absorbed the excellent heritage of Earth civilization and gradually I’ve come to the present."

Professor Yamamoto suddenly said on the side: "I discovered a very important point...The bond based on the bloodline theory should be the most common social structure in the universe. Riley People’s “ethnic hierarchy” is actually a deep-rooted bloodline theory. Some Rileys are born with noble bloodline, and some are born with lowliness, even... these low-race Rileys, themselves Think so too."

"Like us Earth, many animal communities live in groups with bloodline as the link, such as wolves, lions, human tribes, etc."

"Zoomed to the universe, it should be the same... The probability of social creatures developing into intelligent civilization is much greater than that of solitary creatures. Then, the banality of most civilizations may have a lot to do with bloodline theory."

There is a proverb in Xia Country: a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse makes holes. It describes the bloodline theory.

But the bloodline theory, this naturally formed system is only applicable to civilization Early-Stage, in the middle and late stages, due to the solidification of the class formed by the bloodline theory, it will become a hidden obstacle.

Even though all roads lead to Rome, don’t forget that some people were originally born in Rome, but when others are facing the scorching sun, enduring hunger and thirst, these are the lucky ones born day and night. Lying in the great hall, eating grapes comfortably, watching the scenery, has reached the end.

Under such unfair circumstances, it is bound to be difficult for a civilization to truly realize its full potential. If Innate has the potential of 100, maybe it can only play 1, or even 0.1, it has been restricted by self and will not continue to move forward.

"Yes, there is this view in the history of new civilizations. The bloodline theory is deeply rooted and restricts a large number of civilizations. Then, I have one more question..."

Zhang Yuan asked: "The bloodline theory must rely on sexual reproduction, which should be an important part of the theory of evolution. If it is asexual reproduction, everyone is born from the same mother, and they are definitely equal. There is no bloodline theory and class hierarchy. It is divided. Why do most of the lives we encounter are sexual reproduction? In other words, most of the lives we encounter are bisexual reproduction, why can’t they be three sexes, four sexes, and five sexes?"

The alien species are not too few, and several different alien civilizations have been investigated.

Humans and Gliese people are both sexual reproduction, including these two planet creatures, and most of them are mainly sexual reproduction.

Although the Badit people detained in the virtual space can reproduce unisexually, they can also reproduce bisexually. The etiquette for the Badit people to meet is to exchange germ cells and store them in their own sacs. In most cases, they will choose bisexual reproduction instead of unisexual reproduction.

The Riley civilization that I just came into contact with, it seems that it should also be dominated by bisexual reproduction...

This has led to a large number of different civilizations that have a certain degree of homogeneity. . Although everyone is different in appearance and body structure, they have similarities in some core aspects.

"Mr. Captain, the answer is very simple."

The biologist Ichiro Yamamoto explained: "Because the mutation ability of asexual reproduction is weak, the rate of evolution is extremely slow. Environmental changes, or the invasion of malignant bacteria or viruses, can easily become extinct...Like a kind of banana, the Big Mac banana, which has become extinct because of the virus, it’s a pity that the banana we eat now is called a card. The Wendish banana does not produce seeds, and there is a risk of extinction."

There are also some asexual organisms on Earth, such as yeast, paramecium and other single-celled organisms that reproduce through division. They split and multiply very fast, and they mutate very fast, so naturally there is no need to worry about the risk of extinction.

Some reptiles, insects, fish, and a mutant crayfish can reproduce without mating, which is called parthenogenesis.

Speaking of a species called "American Dragon Mark Sting Shrimp", it can be regarded as an anecdote in biology. The American Dragon Mark sting shrimp was discovered by scientists in 1995. It has been discovered that all individuals around the world have the same genes and the same set of chromosomes, as if every lobster was cloned.

Yamamoto said: "This kind of lobster does not need to mate to lay eggs, but if there is a virus against this kind of lobster, it will be easy for all of them to become extinct, without leaving a single one."

“Therefore, only sexual reproduction can bring about genetic diversity, the ability to adapt to the environment is stronger, and it is easy to survive in a complex environment.”

" Bisexual reproduction is the best and most stable. In the age of Far Ancient Era, when the living environment was harsh, where could three, four, or five individuals reproduce together? Perhaps there have been species in which multiple individuals reproduced together in history. But in the end, it was eliminated."

Professor Yamamoto slapped his head and added: "Oh, yes, organisms in the Coccidaceae often multisexually reproduce. It is said that there are thirteen sexes, but It’s just bacteria with super reproductive ability, not multicellular organisms."

"We don’t doubt that there are some civilizations that reproduce polysexually in the universe, but in terms of evolutionary probability, it is definitely a small probability. Event...They may exist in the galaxy, but it’s hard for us to meet."

"so that's how it is, I’ve learned a lot."

Zhang Yuan nodded, said with a smile "I really want to see what civilizations of more than a dozen genders look like... Maybe even a family system can't be formed... The whole society must be different from our Heaven and Earth turning upside down, right? ?"
