Meet the principal

It was a look worth pondering. It was not the observation of a predator like a wild animal, nor was it cowardice and fear, but more like scrutiny.

Is this wolf really intelligent?

Reiner remained calm and observed secretly.

After Sea Wolf finished demonstrating its ability to use words, everyone fell silent.

Although it cannot be admitted that it has intelligence comparable to that of humans, at least its brain has indeed evolved and is at least equal to the intelligence level of a six to seven-year-old child. It can read, write and memorize certain words, and can express its own thoughts.

"This sea wolf is only two years old. In a normal wild environment, such a sea wolf has just begun to learn to hunt. In fact, its wisdom is not entirely acquired, but passed down through its parents."

Baptiste's words made Reiner slightly surprised.

Intelligence is inherited?

Reiner glanced at the sea wolf again.

The way it behaves at this time is indeed very similar to that of an ordinary human child. If it continues to be given enough resources to grow, it might actually be able to exhibit human-like intelligence.

"The inheritance from my parents?"

Agnes chewed the word. According to the theory of blood inheritance, only traits that can be stably inherited are likely to be retained, while scars and other accidental scars left during growth may not necessarily be inherited.

Applying this theory to species evolution, it is easy to come to the conclusion that only evolution that can stabilize heredity can allow species to evolve, while individual changes may not necessarily be fed back to the evolution of the species.

If we use the products under the put or lose theory,

If inheritance can really be stabilized, then the persuasiveness of this theory will be greatly enhanced!

"Can we see its parents?"

Alymiya said, she has been in a state of thinking, with thousands of thoughts in her mind, but she still can't figure it out.

"sure."

Baptiste smiled and seemed confident. He led the magic expedition team to the next room. Here, two sea wolves were also locked in a cage. Compared with the previous one, these two were obviously smaller. They are more mature. According to the introduction, they are all sea wolves over four years old and in their prime. One is named Jack and the other is named Rose.

They also display similar literacy skills, and are more proficient than Lar, even mastering some jokes.

In their words, these two sea wolves also expressed their longing for their children, which was jaw-dropping.

"Everyone, as I said, if a species exercises a certain ability of its own for a long time, then the corresponding ability will continue to evolve. This evolution can be passed on to the next generation, ultimately promoting the evolution of the species itself. This is use it or lose it. This is my theory about the evolution of species."

Baptiste's conclusion left everyone speechless, because everything they saw was too incredible and exceeded the limits of cognition. According to this theory, humans can easily train more intelligent creatures.

Even according to this idea, targeted training of a certain ability can be passed on to future generations.

What a great achievement it would be to shorten the evolutionary path that nature takes thousands of years to achieve to a level that can be achieved in just a few generations!

"In fact, all this research is inspired by the treatment of Osborne Kara disease. This disease is difficult to treat with drugs. How long it can survive depends on each person's constitution."

Baptiste spoke eloquently.

"I collected information and investigated the parents of children suffering from Osborne Kara syndrome here and in my country. I found that children with healthy parents are more likely to be less affected by the disease and can survive. It will take longer, this is not an isolated case, it is actually quite understandable.”

He felt a little sad and then continued to speak.

"Therefore, I was thinking about whether different people's physiques can be improved in some way, and whether this improvement can be passed down through blood. If this theory is established, then we can look for people who can resist Osborne Kara disease. This trait has allowed humans to evolve towards this trait and ultimately completely resist the attack of this disease, just like smallpox."

Smallpox in this world has also been cured long ago, and it is often mentioned in almost all necromancy-related books as an example of mankind's victory over disease.

This is the response strategy that Baptiste came up with, which is to use the active evolution of humans to become immune to some diseases and pass this trait on to the next generation.

Reiner did not speak, because the human body's immune system is actually divided into innate immunity and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is not targeted and specific. It will resist all diseases, but it may not be able to successfully cure it.

Acquired immunity is the production of antibodies through exposure to antigens, just like the resistance mechanism of smallpox and chickenpox. This type of immunity has a strong healing effect on specific diseases, but is completely ineffective against other diseases. At the same time, Acquired immunity is not heritable.

There may be some maternal antibodies that are passed on to the baby through birth and protect the baby from external diseases during the first period of life, but this does not prevent more diseases.

The main reason why acquired immunity cannot be inherited is that the human body has a limit to carrying these antibodies, but bacteria and viruses evolve very quickly. If immunity is completely inherited, within a few generations, the immune system in the body will be Will be loaded.

Osborn Kara syndrome is a congenital disease. According to Reiner's knowledge, this disease is caused by genetic defects and cannot be cured unless the genes are improved.

But in this world, everything is possible. If Baptiste can really prove the theory of use it or lose it, the possibility of human beings achieving greater evolution in a short period of time will increase a lot, and maybe they can resist Osborne. Kara disease.

Baptiste looked at Reiner and saw that the mage was silent. He smiled slightly, as if he had won.

"In the next few days, I will let my students take you to continue the investigation. There are about fifteen species of organisms in this institute, and the habitats of several species can also be observed in an area outside the institute. I will cooperate to provide any information you want. ”

He said, making Agnes and Edgar nod slightly.

After today's inspection, in fact, the goal of their group has almost been achieved. Even if Agnes and others observe here for a week, it will not be as good as Baptiste's ten-year observation. Unless there is something unexpected, otherwise, No one can refute Baptiste's conclusion.

Agnes didn't care, Edgar didn't have much interest in it, so it would be best to get it done as soon as possible.

Emilia glanced at Reiner. She felt that there was something wrong in this, but she couldn't say it for a moment. Such thoughts were stuck in her chest and she could not release them.

Reiner didn't speak, he had a bold idea in his mind.
