Chapter 985 Changes
There is a concept of "ring species" in biology.

For example, there is a bird in Western Europe called the little black-backed gull.

Many years ago, a group of little black-backed gulls set off from Western Europe and migrated eastward.Because of the higher latitude, they don't continue north into the Arctic.Eventually, they took root in Siberia as the lesser stern gull, the Siberian subspecies.

Then, a group of little black-backed gulls of the Siberian subspecies continued to set off, migrating eastward, all the way eastward, and eventually evolved into Hegelin's gull.

A group of Hegglin's gulls continued to migrate eastward, and then evolved into the Weaver Herring Gull subspecies, the Weaver Herring Gull, and the United States Herring Gull.

Finally, a group of herring gulls from the United States crossed the Atlantic Ocean again, returned to Western Europe, and evolved into herring gulls again.

Although the habitats of the lesser black-backed gull and herring gull overlap greatly, there is a strong reproductive isolation between them and they cannot produce hybrid offspring.

No, more than that, there is already reproductive isolation between Herring Gull and Zhinu Herring Gull.

Lesser Black-backed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Siberian Gull, Herring's Gull, Weaver Herring Gull, Weaver Herring Gull, United States Herring Gull, Herring Gull.This circle of species constitutes an evolutionary chain.

In this chain, two adjacent populations can hybridize to produce hybrid offspring.However, separated groups often have reproductive isolation.

"Species" is an artificial concept.The traditional human definition of "species" is "a group of individuals that can mate and reproduce, but cannot mate with other organisms, cannot have sex or hybrids produced after mating cannot reproduce."Simply put, it is "reproductive isolation".

But "reproductive isolation" is not a clear concept either.There is no reproductive isolation between the lesser stern-backed gull and the lesser stern-backed gull, and between the lesser stern-backed gull and the Heggelin's gull, and by traditional definition they belong to one species.However, the little black-backed gull is reproductively isolated from the Hegglin's gull.

Perhaps human beings' definition of "a person" is also blurred.

Yawgmoth in the 21st century is like a little black-backed gull starting from Western Europe.By the time this small population travels around the Arctic Circle with the wind for a week, and then returns to Western Europe, they have evolved into herring gulls.

Between the lesser black-backed gull and herring gull, there are many transitional populations that can produce hybrid individuals.

But the young Yawgmoth and the father of all machines, Yawgmoth, are completely two individuals.

No matter how the herring gulls change... Even if the environment changes again and the two populations converge to evolve, there will always be reproductive isolation between them, and at best they can only become parallel lines of competition.

Regardless, Herring Gulls will no longer merge with Lesser Black-backed Gulls.

Yawgmoth can't change back either.

Nia Guti sighed.Then, the indicator light on the table turned on: "There's a port over there, connect it there. I'll just make a copy—does he have any requests?"

"Requirement? Probably not. He doesn't want too many people to know the location of cetacean civilization." Xiang Shan said, "After all, there is no need to involve whales in human civil war..."

"It's too difficult to be alone." Nia Guti sighed, "Human beings are too powerful, and the earth is too small. Human civil wars have long been more than human affairs. Forget it...they are not strong."

This time, it was Xiang Shan's turn to stare at Niya Guti with a shocked face.

Xiang Shan asked, "Are you really Nyaguti Ndebile...do you really have the same personality as Nyaguti Ndebile?"

Niya Guti glanced at Xiang Shan: "Are you surprised?"

"It's hard to imagine that you would say such a thing." Xiang Shan drew the corners of his mouth with his hands and gestured for a smile, "I thought that upon hearing such news, you would...well, be happier."

"I'm very happy."

"But there is no such..." Xiang Shan scratched his head, "I can't say. But you..."

He pointed to his own brain: "I don't think your mental state is very good."

Niya Guti shrugged and said: "Maybe, this is numbness."

"I think that pushing a civilization less than 200 years old into the battlefield of human civil war is as cruel as training children into soldiers." Xiang Shan said, "Is this the fine tradition of the African land?"

This kind of thing really happened.Just over 200 meters above their heads on the ground, this kind of thing actually happened.

Xiang Shan yelled, "You were not like this 300 years ago."

Niya Guti did not speak.

Xiang Shan was also silent.He laughed at himself: "Well, who made Xiang Shan die early. By the way, is Doctor Tao here?"

"He's still there." Niya Guti nodded, "I used his remaining glial cells to re-cultivate neural stem cells, filled them into the inner side of Dr. Tao's advanced cortex, and removed those glial cells little by little. Using algorithms to temporarily simulate the underlying instincts of the mind, and retraining from scratch... To be honest, this process is very difficult. For a long time, he will not go to the battlefield as a knight. He will not even be able to be a logistics doctor. Maybe he can only work in education."

Xiang Shan pressed his forehead with one hand: "I have never seen a more serious disability than this... He only has a higher level of cortex left. You are still evaluating his ability to work. At this time, you shouldn't say, 'It's been tough, but I'm sure he'll recover in the end'?"

"Oh, yes. More than 200 years ago, this kind of thing was usually done by you."

So, the two fell into silence again.

"The greedy nature of human beings always likes the rich materials brought by high efficiency, but the high-efficiency behaviors, styles, and organizational forms are mostly anti-human." Nia Guti said, "There is no way. It all ends up being an avatar."

Xiang Shan didn't want to hurt each other anymore.He cut to the point and asked, "Did Doctor Tao tell you about me?"

"You saved him, I know that."

Xiang Shan asked again: "Did Doctor Tao tell you the story of the Ninth Valkyrie?"

The veins on Niya Guti's arm popped up: "That guy Yawgmoth is completely insane, there is no way to save him."

"Oh, it looks like you know it." Xiang Shan nodded, "Doctor Tao has a little suspicion that I am something like the Ninth Valkyrie... created by some conspiracy group. Maybe it is to test the theory. Maybe it's similar to the Ninth Valkyrie. I have to find a way to test my cells, study the artificial traces inside, and determine what I am."

Niya Guti froze for a moment: "It's the first time I've seen...uh, someone talking about their own... this kind of thing with this attitude."

Xiang Shan shrugged: "I also know a lunatic who even regards himself as an inbred mouse."
