The origin of the gene faction is the gene editing technology in the early 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 it? Human beings 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 did not 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, there are indeed records of the creation of humans in the myths of various civilizations.
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. According to the Yi people's epic "Axi's Xianji", the male god Are and the goddess Ami made the ancestors of the Yi people out of clay. According to Dulong legend, Gahe, the god of heaven, 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. This is really horrifying to think about.
In ancient times, human beings had inconvenient transportation. The continents were separated by oceans, deserts, etc., making it impossible to communicate with each other. Their cultures were 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, thinking that 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 can perform gene editing. 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 increased resistance to herbicides and pesticides.”
"GM technology?"
"Yes, after that, genetically modified technology was used to improve the performance of fish farming. It was also used to cultivate ornamental fish and 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 of which are autosomes, and the other pair of chromosomes are sex chromosomes, which are mainly the 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 everyone who could hear these words in modern times turned green. Damn, is the final outcome of men disappearing?
They can all imagine that scene. The child looked up with an innocent face and asked, Mom, what is the man in the book? Why haven’t we seen it before?
I'll kill 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 also 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 sea creatures, and most importantly, the evolutionary history of humans completely violates Darwin’s theory of natural selection and is an impossible collection of genetic mutations, which is why we think humans were created.”
"Scientists have begun to decipher those untranslatable genetic codes. At first, everyone just wanted to complete their genes as much as possible. We have made some progress in a short period of time. Among those untranslatable genetic codes, we have indeed Traces of human manipulation have been discovered. 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 wants 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 believes that we humans are 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 complete our genes, so that we humans can become our own creators. This school is the gene school."
Ma Zhongkun said while smoking.
