【Regarding the relationship between the ultimate life span of human beings and genetic needs, it originates from a trash can theory】

【Specifically, when a binary-fissioning single-cell organism divides, it tries to keep garbage and damage in one cell after division. This damaged cell can be regarded as the mother.】

【If the damage accumulates for a long time, the old cells will die and the damage will be taken away from the population.】

【If the damage is not retained in one cell, but is distributed evenly, the damage will continue to accumulate in the population, causing large-scale apoptosis of the population.】

【This trash can theory can also be explained as: the old cells create a clone to use as a trash can and take away the garbage.】

【So, how to distinguish new and old cells?】

【When cells divide, a new cell membrane is formed in the middle】

【Experiments have found that when the cell divides again, the garbage will move to the end of the old cell membrane.】

【The cell that divides from this end of the new cell membrane is completely new】

【This seems to be able to distinguish between new and old, and then define the mother and offspring.】

【Aging and death occur to remove waste from the population】

……

The ancient people of all dynasties were confused when they heard this.

The content is too complex and esoteric for them.

The plane of the Great Ming Dynasty's ancestors.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochi:

"Boss, do you understand?"

"do not understand at all."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

At this time,

Zhu Zhanji on the side said excitedly:

"Grandpa, I understand a little bit"

"Come and listen quickly."

Zhu Di said immediately.

He didn't expect that his grandson could even understand such profound things. It was a surprise.

As expected of his great grandson, he is so smart!

Zhu Zhanji replied:

"Grandpa, in this giant scene, people in later generations said that we humans all evolved from single-celled organisms."

"So the meaning of this trash can theory at this time is that the reason why we people will grow old and die is because we have become the garbage of the human race, so we need to be cleaned up."

His memory is indeed good and his ability to associate is rich.

But he lacks modern scientific knowledge.

"do you mean this?"

After Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi listened, they felt that Zhu Zhanji's statement seemed to make sense, but also seemed to be a little wrong.

But they couldn't explain what was wrong.

……

【Of course you will say that 17 is a single-celled organism, which can at best be compared to current microorganisms.】

【Can multicellular organisms such as animals and plants trace their origins in this way?】

【Multicellular organisms also evolved from single-celled organisms, and each of us, every animal and plant also developed from one cell (fertilized egg)】

【During the production and development of sperm and egg cells, billions of cells throughout the body work together to ensure healthy development of reproductive cells and the birth of offspring.】

"This statement is quite new. I know that the human body is composed of tens of trillions of cells, but billions of them exist to serve reproductive cells. This is the first time this statement has been said."

"Reply - It's possible. After all, the reproductive system is one of the eight major systems, and it's not surprising that there are billions of cells serving it."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin raised his hand and looked at it, wondering:

"The human body is made up of cells? But where are these cells? Why can't I see it?"

"Father, tens of trillions is such a huge number. The human body is composed of so many cells, and those cells must be extremely small and cannot be seen."

Li Zhi opened his mouth to express his opinion.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

This is a very reasonable analysis.

……

【Can this be understood as a continuation of the trash can theory?】

【Even people’s family affection, their unreasonable love for their descendants, their behavior of sacrificing themselves to save their descendants, etc., are they derived from this ancient phenomenon of division?】

【The basic logic is that it is difficult to maintain DNA on the physical level for a long time, and the damage caused to the environment is inevitable.】

【But preserving the genetic information contained in it is simpler.】

【The new carrier inherits the genetic information carrier. The carriers grow old, sick and die from generation to generation, but the information can be preserved relatively stably. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Does this mean that genes create clones in order to protect themselves?"

"Oops, I'm a substitute"

"Ah, according to this, my ancestors, my descendants, and I are actually the same living entity, but they are just continuing? A bit scary"

"Consciousness is immortal? That's not right. Why don't you want so much information from the past?"

"Reply – Maybe the capacity of the genetic information carrier is limited? speculative"

"Reply - Since you can’t retain memories, you can’t be immortal either."

"All living things, including humans, are actually carriers of genes."

"According to this statement, if DNA is conscious, where did our original consciousness come from?"

"Reply – Could consciousness be an illusion of the brain?"

"Reply - hiss! The more you talk about it, the scarier it becomes"

……

Looking at the video content and various barrages on the high-altitude giant screen, the ancients of all dynasties were completely confused.

Are they actually not themselves?

Are they actually the same person as their ancestors?

Are they all just carriers of so-called genes?

The more they thought about it, the more confused they became, and the more they thought about it, the more they became shuddering.

Da Qin plane.

Qin Shihuang snorted coldly:

"I am me! No one else!"

He will never believe these nonsense!

Even if the people of later generations make wild claims, he will never believe it on this matter! From the level of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng with a solemn expression:

"What do the two Qing family think of this statement made by future generations? Could it be that we are really someone else's stand-in?"

Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and replied:

"Reporting back to your majesty, there is a saying in ancient books: The first transformation of life is called soul, and once the soul is born, Yang is called soul. useThe more essence, the stronger the soul. Therefore, it is refreshing, and as for the gods, even if a man or a woman is killed by force, his soul can still rely on others, which is very powerful."

"The theory of later generations is similar to the theory of soul."

"However, I believe that Your Majesty is the destined emperor and is protected by destiny. As long as any foreign soul comes close, it will disappear."

"Therefore, the theory of later generations is not found to be accurate."

After all, he is a Taoist master. These words directly transformed the genetic theory of later generations into the Taoist theory localized in the Tang Dynasty.

After Yuan Tiangang, the younger Li Chunfeng spoke immediately and said:

"What Mr. Yuan said is absolutely correct, and I also agree with Mr. Yuan's opinion."

Hearing the two people's answers, Li Shimin slightly nodded his head.

He didn't believe whose substitute he would be.

On the side, the other officials of the Tang Dynasty were a little dumbfounded after hearing these words.

They don't have the destiny to protect their bodies.

Is it possible that they all Not yourself?

……

【In fact, the idea of ​​using genes to manipulate life here is a bit too anthropomorphic.】

【DNA is a large molecule without any consciousness or subjective initiative. However, under the right conditions, DNA can create life with subjective initiative.】

【So as long as the genetic information in DNA can be preserved, life will continue to exist.】

【Then genetic mutations, which are information copy errors, create different lives.】

【These different lives began to evolve through survival of the fittest in the changed environment.】

【To be clear, it is not that individuals that are suitable for survival are naturally selected, but that individuals that are suitable for inheriting, preserving and passing on genetic information will be left behind by the environment.】

【This is an existential algorithm, also called an evolutionary algorithm, a completely natural process. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Selfish gene theory? But is this different from the selfless and altruistic statement above?"

"Reply - Brother upstairs, what is the selfish gene theory? Seek to explain"

"Reply - To put it simply, everything in living things is controlled by genes. Living organisms are just carriers of genes, including humans. We are just containers for genes. Those behaviors of self-sacrifice or suicidal reproduction all come from the selfishness of genes."

"Reply - Another point is that the most advantageous genes in evolution can often win in natural selection, while genes without advantages will gradually be eliminated, so the ones that survive must be selfish genes rather than altruistic genes. gene"

"Reply - The issue of altruism, Dawkins used game theory to explain that altruism is also a selfish choice"

"……"

See here.

The expressions of many ancient people in the past dynasties changed drastically.

Are they just containers for so-called genes?

What is that gene?

Why can it continue continuously?

The ancients were completely stunned.

It is really difficult for them to understand these contents.

……

Warring States plane.

Yang Zhu stared at the giant screen in the sky, his face was excited, and his eyes were shining brightly.

That's right!

The king of those who value themselves! Self-interested people are everywhere! There is no such thing as good or evil!

That's it! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There is nothing wrong with the doctrine.

People in later generations have already said that people are the carriers of so-called genes, and genes are selfish!

Therefore, if people are selfish, they should lose a single profit and the world will not share it.

Yang Zhu's thoughts welled up, and he immediately picked up his pen and started writing on the bamboo slips.

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Tiangang was shocked.

From this, he thought of the theory of soul.

Taoism says that the body is the carrier of the soul.

Later generations said that the human body is the carrier of genes.

So.

Is the so-called gene just another way of saying soul?

According to later generations, genes can continue to persist in different human bodies out of selfishness. Is this what Taoism calls"the soul can still depend on others"?

The more Yuan Tiangang thought about it, the more he felt like it. the other side[]

Li Chunfeng was also thoughtful

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said to Zhu Biao:

"Boss, there is something wrong with this statement."

"According to this statement, we and you actually have the same gene, but how can one thing exist in two places at the same time?"

Lao Zhu is a person with a skeptical spirit.

He doesn't believe this statement.

He is the Son of Heaven, how could he be the carrier of some gene?

Zhu Biao doesn't believe it either.

This statement is really incredible.

"Dad, you can’t believe everything about future generations. Zhu

Biao replied.

……

【Many people can't understand: How can such a simple principle create such complex things in us?】

【That's because everyone also cannot understand the concept of time: 3.5 billion years】

【No matter how slow the chemical reaction is, no matter how small the probability, as long as it is not zero, it can be realized in such a long time span.】

【But because the age-old survival principle of preserving genetic information will not change】

【The old individual must reproduce the next generation of information carriers, and at the same time absorb environmental damage and die, thereby preventing the next generation of information carriers from being harmed.】

【Our cellular repair mechanisms are designed to extend individual lifespan, but they also arise based on the principle of protecting the survival of the next generation.】

【Cell self-repair is to allow individuals time to grow strong enough to better feed the next generation.】

【But repairing and maintaining old individual functions requires more energy.】

【Then, let the repair mechanism work almost at full capacity and stop working after the childbearing period to avoid wasting energy.】

【The resource energy of nature is to maintain the immortality of genetic information, not to perpetuate individuals.】

【All creatures that do not follow this principle become extinct】

【If an individual survives for a long time, it may squeeze out the survival resources of many future generations. If this individual dies due to an accident, the risk of extinction of the species becomes greater. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Go to hell... This explanation is really simple and straightforward, but I feel a little sad for no reason."

"Why do you feel that this is what the spiritual cage means?"

"So it is really a selfish gene, everything is for the self-sustainment of the gene."

"If the whole purpose of genes is to reproduce, then reproductionWhat is the purpose?"

"The trillions of cells in my body are working hard just to live for me, but I just want to eat and wait to die."

"Reply - Think too much. Cells are not for you to survive, but for the genetic information to be passed on."

"Reply - There is no"you", there are only cells, and"you" are just a large number of cells. (dog head)"

"……"

The plane of the Great Ming Dynasty's ancestors.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhan937:

"Do you understand?"

Although he is a wise and powerful emperor, he is old after all.

He is a bit slow to understand such profound new knowledge.

Zhu Zhanji replied:

"The grandson feels that these words seem to mean that before a person has children, the cell repair mechanism will continue to repair the damage suffered by the person, which means that the person will not age so fast. After having offspring, the cell repair mechanism will disappear and the person will will soon age or even die."

"do you mean this?"

Zhu Di was doubtful.

At this time,

Zhu Gaochi on the side said:

"So, does that mean that as long as there are no offspring, the cell repair mechanism will continue to operate?"

"In this way, people can age and die more slowly?"

Although he doesn't understand what the cell repair mechanism is.

But he is very clear about this simple reasoning.

"If we follow the words of later generations, it seems like this"

"But something feels wrong."

Zhu Zhanji scratched his head.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi also felt the same way.

……

【Various animals in nature have different life spans】

【For example, among the same mammals, there are mice that can only live for three years at most, we can live for seventy or eighty years, and right whales can live for more than two hundred years.】

【It seems that the bigger these creatures are, the longer they live. In fact, it is almost the same, but it is not accurate.】

【Larger animals generally have a longer period of growth and development to sexual maturity, so natural selection adjusts the life span of organisms accordingly.】

【It can be said that the lower the reproductive efficiency of organisms, the longer their lifespans. On the contrary, things like mice that can grow and reproduce quickly do not have to live so long because they can complete the transfer of genetic material in a short time. DNA mission】

【According to the principle that"individuals who have completed their reproductive tasks do not actually need to exist", their life spans are short.】

【This theory is called the one-shot somatic cell theory】

【The lifespan of most organisms basically follows the above principle】

【The maximum life span of mammals is basically 9 times the average age of sexual maturity and 6 times the average age of growth.】

【A rat can give birth to its first litter about three months after birth, so the rat will not live more than three years】

【Humans are fertile at the age of 14 or 15, and their growth and development stops around the age of 20. Then the ultimate life span of humans is about 120 to 130 years old, which is almost consistent with the age of the longest-lived human currently recorded. 】

The barrage flew out:

"The angle is strange, but it’s also interesting"

"It feels right, but not entirely right"

"Understand, if you don’t get married and don’t have children, you can live longer! (dog head)"

"Reply - top level understanding"

"I understand, I understand, if you want to practice this magical skill of immortality, you must first commit suicide. (dog head)"

"No wonder the Bodhisattva Emperor lived to be 85 years old. It turned out to be the reason why he was not a womanizer!"

"……"

Listening to the narration of the video and watching the numerous barrages, the ancients of all dynasties were all dumbfounded:

Is this really the case?.
