If from the perspective of biological evolution, the continued reproduction of species and the rapid increase in number are success, then we can understand that sheep actually domesticated our Homo sapiens ancestors, because sheep have indeed achieved a rapid increase in number.
, and because of the help and care of our Homo sapiens ancestors, we have defeated almost all natural enemies, and we don’t even need to migrate because of the change of seasons or when there is no grass in the grassland.
From the perspective of the theory of evolution and the law of the jungle, the sheep domesticated our Homo sapiens ancestors, but this domestication seems to be a bit miserable for the sheep.
But things are not always understood from one aspect, but from many aspects. Now we will understand it from this aspect of our Homo sapiens ancestors. At first, before these flocks of sheep existed, our Homo sapiens ancestors lived a relatively undisciplined life.
We only hunt about three to four times in a month, and the rest of the time can be used for eating, drinking, and having fun. We don’t care what our Homo sapiens ancestors are playing with, even if it is a beautiful slave woman, they are here anyway.
Play.
But now it is different. There is a special group of ancestors who have to serve the sheep day and night. This is true, because there are also wolves and other things that sneak up on the sheep at night, and our group of ancestors are exhausted every day.
, even after returning home, I don’t even have the strength to touch my beautiful wife. What’s more, if I encounter a pack of wolves at night, it will be even more troublesome!
If another meaning of the law of the jungle is that the stronger you are, the easier it is to obtain food and the more time you have to eat, drink and have fun, then we believe that it was the sheep that indirectly domesticated our ancestors.
However, we must first make it clear that this is not what our ancestors wanted to do. I believe no one wants to be so busy every day. We believe no one will be so noble, so this is the order of the Lion Spirit!
Then there is the overall problem of the Lion Tribe. Because of the existence of this flock of sheep, there is enough objective and realistic evidence for all of us to believe that if the Lion Tribe encounters another small famine problem, these sheep can completely make the entire
The tribe was able to get through the difficulties with minimal losses, but if there were no sheep, it would have been blood sacrifice or migration, depending on the situation. Anyway, there would have definitely been greater losses.
…
In fact, in the later development, the lion tribe of our Homo sapiens ancestors was caused by the existence of this group of sheep. Indeed, in the environment of heavy snow and biting cold wind in winter, it was because of the existence of this group of sheep that in winter,
The entire tribe of our ancestors did not have such a panic as hunger, but this does not mean that there is no need to sacrifice to the lion spirit, because in fact, the tribe leader and the wizard have said that this is the lion spirit that makes us do this.
In fact, it is impossible to verify how this person is able to raise sheep. Maybe it was just a casual comment from a hunter in the group?
But this is equivalent to having a fixed source of food. Of course, this also increases the property of our ancestors again. Anyway, moving is definitely not as easy as before. There are more things to consider now, including the sheep being driven away.
Will they run away on the road, or will there be grass to eat along the way? If there is no grass to eat, will we bring enough grass? In fact, this kind of thing should not be said to be the patriarch or wizard, but the lion spirit really exists. I feel that the lion spirit
It can't be explained clearly either.
So moving is really more difficult than before, but this kind of settled life is also more enjoyable for our ancestors. After all, we no longer move around like before. We ask the lion spirit every day, and we are on tenterhooks almost every day.
.But let’s not ignore it. In fact, when food is scarce or even non-scarce, the people who really contribute to feeding the entire tribe are the ancestors who raise sheep. If we look at it from our modern point of view, this must be
It is unfair to our ancestors who raise sheep, but this is the meaning of the lion spirit and cannot be questioned or blasphemed.
Perhaps the ancestors who raised sheep thought that they had domesticated the sheep, and they were happy to celebrate with singing and dancing for a long time, because they felt that they were the greatest achievers! But now they are not happy at all.
, they will find that they have become the same existence as the slaves in the lion tribe, and even live a miserable life than some slaves.
How do you say this? For example, the male slave that the patriarch's daughter wanted before would not only be able to sleep with the patriarch's daughter at night, but even if he was beaten by the patriarch's daughter, he would still sleep with the patriarch's daughter the next night, and there would be no need for it.
What kind of work are they doing, and what are the slaves eating? Isn’t it the food that they, the sheep herders, and the hunters get?
And what about the people who raise sheep? They work so hard every day that they don’t even have the strength to touch their own wives. In the end, they seem to get nothing, because they are raising sheep for the Lion Spirit! These sheep belong to the Lion Spirit, not
Their.
But the patriarch will definitely not let this group of sheep farmers starve to death. At least he will give them some food and clothing. Or the sheep farmers may blaspheme the lion spirit, that is, steal the sheep to eat. Anyway, there are many sheep. Sometimes this
The patriarch really can't find out about racial matters. After all, there are many loopholes in the current rules.
…
Then something big happened to the Lion Tribe!
The big thing is that one day, a sergeant major held some dried meat in his hand, so he went to the clan leader and told the clan leader that this meat was obtained when we fought with Mrs. Rudolf a long, long time ago.
As a spoil of war, the meat was given to him as a reward at that time, but because the meat was not very tasty, he put it in a corner of his house and forgot about it. He happened to dig it out today, thinking that he would definitely eat it after keeping it for such a long time.
It was gone, but when I smelled it, the taste seemed to have not changed, so I bit into it a little bit, and it still tasted as bad as before, but the meat was not bad!
After the clan leader heard such a thing, he took the piece of meat and asked the wizard for his opinion. The wizard looked at it for a long time and even tasted some. He felt that there was no water in it, so he probably just said casually, as long as
By extracting the moisture from the meat, the meat can be stored for a long time.
The patriarch thought that what the wizard said made sense, and then looked at the warehouse that had been built before. Now it was basically stuffed with wool and the like. There was no food anyway, so he fell into deep thought for a long time and finally decided to find more people to discuss this matter.
matter.
After discussion, everyone agreed that this can be used as an experiment. Anyway, if we have a fire source, we can also try to bake out the moisture in the meat. This is actually our human imitation ability and our more detailed observation ability.
It is true that the ancestors of Homo sapiens could not preserve meat better, let alone fruits and the like, but our ancestors of Homo sapiens were very smart, really very smart.
Then the patriarch asked people to experiment with this meat preservation method, and it turned out to be the case. Is this equivalent to dehydrated meat? But in fact, our ancestors of Homo sapiens did not make dehydrated meat at all, but smoked meat, because we
Our ancestors knew that meat would burn if it was too close to the fire, so they hung some meat above the fire, which was equivalent to smoking. In the end, the smoked meat was successfully tested and could be stored for a long time.
a long time.
With this method of food storage, it can be said that this is the beginning of an epic disaster for more of our Homo sapiens ancestors, but it is also the bottleneck for our Homo sapiens ancestors to evolve to higher civilizations that has been completely broken!
Let’s talk about this bottleneck problem first: because there are very good food storage methods, there are more and more meat in the warehouse, which allows more people to be idle, except for the original performers, or
Apart from the management, weapon research and development, and even the manufacturers of handicrafts, this enough food can actually feed more people.
For example: the army can be expanded! This is very serious. The army is a double-edged sword. On the basis of protecting hunters and expanding the group, of course it can also be used to maintain order within the group itself, so that it can be better
Manage hunters.
Then another group of people appeared, such as geographical explorers, which can be said to be the tribe leaders, to see what is in front of our tribe. Originally, there was no such condition, but now there is enough food.
If this condition is met, this is equivalent to the person who draws the map in our current era. It can also be said to be a spy or even a forerunner. But no matter what it is, the task of this kind of person is very heavy anyway.
Then some of the people who loved to tell funny stories in the past have branched off. It can also be said that new people have joined in and told some more outrageous stories. Why are these stories outrageous? In fact, this analysis is not difficult, because
Our earth is very big, and our ancestors are not fools. They know that there is another sky at the end of the sky, so these people will think wildly every day, and then imagine what the sky is like outside of the sky, and then tell other people about it.
In exchange for some food given by others.
We first think this may be nothing, right? But the impact of this incident is great. We humans have inertial thinking. If we have always been yearning for the outside world, we will gradually become really want to see it.
After seeing it, this group of people will also create an even more outrageous appearance of the Lion Tribe in a mythical color. Let’s call it a fantasy empire. For this vague concept, in fact, no matter who is in the tribe,
They are very yearning for it, and slowly and slowly, they really want to be what they imagined. Let's take an example. The lion tribe in this group of people's imagination is a huge tribe of 100,000 people. The army has
Anything that goes by will simply destroy the world!
This kind of imagination is originally innate to us humans, but it is also the most basic factor in our evolution. Without this kind of imagination, it would be impossible for us humans to evolve, just like other animal groups, millions of years ago, and even more
