Homo sapiens

January 11, 2020.

A week has passed since Christine and Anthony were captured.

Li Qingye, who was on Bandon Island, looked at the report in his hand with some surprise. Although he didn't know the situation of these two people, he still ordered:

"Fili, make arrangements and have these two guys moved here."

"Yes, boss."

The report document reported some very important contents, which also made Li Qingye understand more about the internal situation in America.

Christine and Anthony are not subordinates of Black Ship. They are not from the same organization, but have a equal relationship. They are both affiliated with an organization called City on the Hill.

Judging from the information obtained at this stage, the city on the mountain is inside America, or the two are one, just two sides, one bright and one dark.

Among the sub-organizations under the City on the Hill, three have been confirmed so far, namely the Black Ship, the Knights, and the Franklin Foundation.

Black Ship's business is intelligence work around the world, and the CIA is part of its subordinates.

The Knights are the organization that Christine and Anthony belong to. This organization is actually not a simple intelligence organization, but a special support organization that specializes in assisting other organizations under the City on the Hill.

The Franklin Foundation is composed of core executives from companies such as ABCD. This organization is mainly used to attract some small consortiums and regional consortiums, including consortiums such as Samsung, Fujifilm, and Temasek, which are secret members of this foundation.

Christine and Anthony, who were captured this time, belonged to the knight's intelligence support team. Although they didn't know much about the information, it was obvious that the information involved was very critical.

The previously captured Black Ship members, or the Southeast Asian Black Ship Governor Victor who was under surveillance, did not obtain much information about their superior organization.

…

the next day.

Christine and Anthony, who had been remade a long time ago, sat dully in front of Li Qingye.

And Li Qingye was looking at the genetic sequences of the two people.

"Interesting. Sure enough, the power of evolution has infinite possibilities." Turning his chair, he seemed to see some delicious food.

On the screen of the biological computer, the genetic sequences of Anthony, Christine, and Li Qingye were displayed.

After a comprehensive genetic modification, Li Qingye's genes are different from those of natural people.

The wood-building factor can cause the gene lock gene sequence in human genes to lose its restrictive effect. After years of in-depth research, he found that it was not because of the Nigerian genes that gave him those abilities.

If the Neanderthal genes really hide powerful power, then they would not be eliminated by modern Homo sapiens.

To put it simply: the genetic sequence of modern Homo sapiens is like a maze hiding various things, and the building factor that Li Qingye obtained from the Neanderthal genes is an explosive device that can destroy the walls of the maze. Obtain the things hidden in the maze, but not all things are treasures, they may also be traps and monsters.

As for why the Nigerian genes can produce something like the wood-building factor.

Although Li Qingye still didn't figure out the root cause, he also guessed some possibilities.

There are two most critical points.

First, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens are both hominins. Although the two have developed a certain degree of reproductive isolation, they can still interbreed with a certain probability.

Second, the hybridization of the two destroyed the original genetic sequence of ancient Homo sapiens, introduced the variable Neanderthal gene, and caused problems in the genetic sequence of some Homo sapiens.

Many people know that the offspring of hybrids between Neanderthals and ancient Homo sapiens are the white and yellow races of modern Homo sapiens.

Moreover, many studies have shown that the "pollution" of Nigerian genes has caused many genetic diseases to appear in white and yellow people, which is a bad side.

But many people ignore another situation, that is, the Nigerian genes also bring some benefits, that is, the improvement of IQ.

So why does the "pollution" of Neanderthal genes improve the intelligence of Homo sapiens? And among them, the most polluted East Asian Yellow Man has the highest intelligence level among modern Homo sapiens?

Li Qingye’s answer is: genetic stability.

A race's genes have been inherited for millions of years. If there is no interference from foreign genes, the stability of its genes will be very high, which is similar to a genetic lock.

This is clearly reflected in modern agriculture.

The development of human agricultural technology can be roughly divided into four stages: the screening of natural improved seeds, the hybridization of similar species, the transgenic stage, and the genetic customization stage.

Why is hybrid technology beginning to fail in the face of genetically modified technology?

This is because hybrid technology can only use genes from the same species, but cannot use genes from other animals, plants and microorganisms. In terms of available genetic diversity, the two are not at the same level.

For example, some plants are born with a lack of salt-alkali tolerance genes. Even if we can barely find one or two related genes, can they still compare with those plants that are born in saline-alkali soils?

The interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals caused huge damage to the genetic stability of Homo sapiens for millions of years.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity.

In the process of tens of thousands of years of hybridization, those bad individuals have been eliminated by the natural environment. The remaining individuals have become more and more enriched with good genes, and their intelligence levels have naturally begun to improve.

It was not until about 10,000 years ago that the intelligence level of Homo sapiens began to approach that of modern Homo sapiens. This was the reason why human civilization began to develop.

Otherwise, if ancient Homo sapiens had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, why did they wait nearly 10,000 years to enter the stage of civilization?

Apparently it was the period of great interbreeding between Homo and Neanderthals that promoted the intellectual improvement of modern Homo sapiens.

Then why does the current globalization and hybridization not further improve human beings?

First of all, many people simply understand the word "hybrid" and think that as long as they are hybridized, superior varieties can be produced.

But in fact, anyone who has done agricultural hybridization technology knows that hybridization requires selecting two varieties with different advantages, and the success rate is not high.

If a modern Homo sapiens who has been purified through many hybridizations crosses with a primitive Homo sapiens, there is a high probability that he will only get an offspring with a better body and average or even low intelligence.

Do you think that Homo sapiens is physically strong and mentally retarded?

Obviously, the advantage of modern Homo sapiens lies in intelligence. If we really want to show hybrid advantage, we must find a breed with the same high intelligence, so that individuals with higher intelligence can be born from generations of hybridization.

This is the fundamental reason why there is no obvious hybrid advantage in the so-called "global hybrid era".

Because the female parent of the hybrid must have its own advantages. If the female parent has no advantages, or even has serious shortcomings, then hybrid advantage will naturally be impossible to talk about.

Li Qingye used the wood-building factor to destroy his own genetic stability and gain abilities that surpassed those of modern Homo sapiens, which is similar to the first generation of genetically modified technology in the development of agriculture.

In other words, modern humans are still in the mixed era of natural selection and cross-breeding, while Li Qingye has reached the era of genetic modification.

This is version iteration, and the two sides are not on the same level.
