Chapter 270

At first glance, active evolution sounds like a bluff, but Lena knows that this phenomenon exists even on the earth without supernatural magic.

For example, practice makes perfect.

When a person has a plan, scientific long-distance running exercise, so long as it is not that the body has irreconcilable contradictions, then he is bound to gradually adapt to long-distance running, long-distance running results will be better and better, in the absence of external forces to change the physical quality of the case, to reach his limit.

In this way, compared with ordinary people, his running skills are actually slightly evolved, such as swimming, shooting, and even learning.

If hard work can't grow, what's the meaning of what human beings do?

But there is a problem with this exercise process, that is, it may not be passed on to the next generation.

On the earth, many people think that the children of two athletes should also have strong athletic talent, and give some examples to prove it. But in fact, they ignore that on the earth, to become a famous athlete requires extremely high physical quality, and the physical quality of the couple of athletes will be inherited to their children, making them stronger than their peers.

This is also a deviation in a sense.

Ordinary children, however, may not be able to inherit the fruits of their parents' exercise. If they want to be an excellent long-distance runner, they have to start all over again.

This way of evolution has great limitations in nature.

Take the rainforest Falcon for example. If the young rainforest Falcon does not have the fat on its wings, it may die in the first rainy season, and there is not enough time for it to evolve itself. According to the information given by Batiste, the breeding season of the rainforest Falcon ends in the rainy season, and the newborn chicks will grow up in a month, and become the ones with enough wings to resist the rain A good hunter.

In other words, the ability to produce this oil is possessed by Yulin Falcon at birth.

Compared with the species similar to the rainforest Falcon in blood structure, we can find that the organs producing oil are common. Only the rainforest falcon is extremely developed, which is obviously related to the environment of the half plane of Erasmus.

Batiste's theory is that the rainforest Falcon secretes oil on its feathers during the storm, thus surviving the rainy season. Then, it inherits this trait to its offspring, and through several generations of inheritance, this trait is fixed.

"Everybody, please follow me."

Batiste did not say much, with the magic team came to the fourth floor, although in the highest place, it is particularly dark.

"In this area, there are creatures that are active in the half plane of Erasmus in the dry season. They like the dark environment and only move at night. I have carried out some experiments on some of them."

Batiste opened the door and saw a huge cage in the room. In the cage, a pair of dark green eyes were just staring at Lena and others, which made people feel hairy.

When his eyes adapted to the darkness, Lena could see that it was a wolf like creature, except that its claws had web like paddles and its cheeks had gills like sharks, which seemed to be able to adapt to life in the water.

"This is a sea wolf. It's similar to the creatures you've seen before. It's amphibious, but it has other abilities."

Baptist turned on the light and illuminated the room.

Emilia saw that the cage was comfortable with straw, water and food. On one side of the cage, there was a mottled board with many characters, all of which were common language letters.

"By training it, I made it literate."

Batiste said lightly, slightly surprised everyone except Lena.

"Literacy?"

People know that parrots can imitate human speech, but they don't understand what it means. It's just a poor imitation, but they can read, which is a breakthrough in cognition.

"Can you show us?"

Reiner said that performances like animal literacy are nothing on earth. They are just fixed behaviors formed by conditioned reflex and have nothing to do with cognition. He would like to see how Batiste "teaches" each other to read.

Nodding, Batiste inserted the board with words through the gap under the cage. The wolf saw it and immediately wagged his tail to the board.

Well, the obvious conditioning.

Lena thought in his heart.

Batiste then said a few words to the sea wolf, roughly telling him to perform or something, and then uttered the sound of a common language letter.

I saw the sea wolf immediately in the paw, according to the corresponding letter, action quickly, without the slightest delay.

There were several similar interactions. Each time, the sea wolf was able to find the corresponding letter accurately and quickly, which surprised others.

Lena frowned and found something wrong.

The traditional circus performance adopts incentive and punishment mode, through which the extra instinctive behavior is eliminated and the target behavior is trained. The conditioned reflex formed in this way is similar to the simple thinking mapping of "as long as you stand up and turn twice, you can eat meat". Animals can understand it.But just now, there was no incentive and punishment in the interaction between Batiste and the sea wolf. Even if the sea wolf recognized the right letter, he could not get food reward. In order to achieve such an effect, in addition to long training, he also needed special individuals.

Judging from the appearance, this sea wolf should be only two or three years old. There is not enough training time. Is that the reason for the special individual?

As Lena pondered, he heard Baptist say again.

"This sea wolf is called laer. Besides knowing words, he can also read some simple sentences and express them."

To the surprise of others, Lena's brows were deeper.

"Rahl, come and say hello."

Batiste said, and then he saw the wolf's paw move on the letter board, clearly passing through the letter, stepping out a common language sentence.

"Hello, I'm LAL."

This sentence is not very grammatical, but the spelling of the word is not wrong. More importantly, this series of sentences are spelled out by sea wolf without the guidance of Batiste. Without considering the real wisdom, it requires a very strong memory.

Lena thought with her chest in her arms, observing the subtle expression between Batiste and the sea wolf.

As Batiste continues to demonstrate, Lena suddenly discovers a surprising detail.

Every time before spelling a sentence, the sea wolf would look at Batiste. The look was not for directions, but for observation!

This sea wolf is watching Batista!
