Chapter 12 chapter 2

On the earth, in the long years of evolution of tens of millions of species, there are many blank periods that cannot be proved, full of mysteries.There are two most famous evolutionary gaps: For one, paleontologists have had a long hiatus in the history of ancient life that preceded the dinosaurs.Paleontologists generally estimate that there were few biological species on the earth's surface at that time, but the oceans were full of life.However, most of the fish in the ocean have gradually adapted to the environment on the ground, and gradually evolved instincts to survive on the ground, such as breathing and walking.However, this hypothesis has not been supported by any fossil evidence.

What kind of creature broke away from the prehistoric swamp for the first time and realized land survival, thus taking the first step of the earth's creatures from dominating the ocean to conquering the land?This question has long puzzled paleontologists.Among the fossils that have been discovered, there is a 30 million-year gap in biological evolution that has been unable to be filled. This gap is called the Romer's Gap. Second, the first ancient humans appeared on the earth at least five million years ago, and then evolved into Homo habilis and Homo erectus.Early Homo sapiens and other stages evolved into late Homo sapiens about 100,000 years ago.Humans living on the earth now belong to late Homo sapiens, or anatomically modern humans.During the period from the late Miocene to the early Pliocene (15 to 10 million years ago), Ramapithecus appeared, which is the ancient ape fossil recognized by most paleontologists as the "human ape division" , emphasizing that this creature is the earliest ancestor of human beings.

However, anthropologists love to use molecular biology to study the time of the division of apes (DNA differences) after the 1970s. At that time, the biological clock should be 5 million years ago. The age of Ramapithecus seems to be too early , so Ramapithecus is not the ancestor of human beings. The bigger problem is that, judging from the fossil materials related to human evolution that have been discovered so far, 800 to 4 million years ago was a "blank period of human evolution", lacking a lot of strong and direct evidence, so In the absence of evidence about our fossil relatives, everything becomes confusing.It is not an exaggeration to say that human beings emerged from the earth out of thin air.Therefore, many science fiction writers use this to put forward the theory of alien species that "human beings are alien immigrants".

As for the second mysterious evolutionary blank period listed above, the weird hypothesis proposed by the genius Dr. Duke in an international scientific journal 20 years ago brought him huge research resources indefinitely, and also brought Dr. Duke back from the light. The brilliant tenured faculty of Harvard University draws closer to the dark US secret police research department. ——"The origin of human beings comes from the ancient life underground." After accepting the position of the U.S. Secret Service, Dr. Duke, who originally only made whimsical inferences from human DNA and body structure, suddenly saw the corpses of vampires on the laboratory table, and the infected vampires alive and kicking behind the reinforced glass .

And more importantly, a black odd-shaped beast and ape fossil was deeply embedded in an ancient coal rock formation. "My God, there really is such a creature in this world!" Dr. Duke was very pleasantly surprised. In the next two decades, with the help of huge funds from Organization Z and the U.S. Secret Police, Dr. Duke's research team owned five of the world's top ten supercomputers in logic computing speed, including computing power. The fastest Blue Gene second-generation supercomputer.In addition, the twenty-six researchers under Dr. Duke, all of whom are comprehensive molecular biology, basic chemistry, gene medicine, and even archaeology, are all of one mind and want to solve the biggest mystery of human origin.

Relying on the limitless reverse calculation, invincible anatomy and precise cross-reasoning, Dr. Duke unlocked the code between human and vampire DNA fifteen years ago. The blank period of evolution was perfectly filled, and the truth shocked the secret police and high-level officials in the United States.
