In recent years, both China and the United States have been keen to explore Mars. Whether it is Musk 's corporate behavior or China's national behavior, they are all rushing to the goal of understanding, discovering, and ultimately landing on Mars.
Why is everyone going to explore Mars, just out of curiosity? No, we are exploring the future of humanity.
What is a person? Human is a high-level creature with high intelligence and complex social organization. 60 million years ago, dinosaurs were the top of the earth's biological chain, depending on "big", dinosaurs were the largest, so they occupied the top of the food chain. Now humans occupy the top of the food chain, also because of "big", large brain capacity, developed IQ, and use brain power instead of physical strength to rule other creatures on earth.
Where do humans come from? I have seen the fossil of the human grandmother Lucy in the Ethiopia museum. There were many Ethiopian elementary school students lining up to see their ancient grandmother that day. The comparison between the old and the young is the history and future of mankind. From the perspective of DNA and chemical excavations, human beings originated from the African ape-man 2 million years ago in the Lucy era, and later developed into the African artisan 1.5 million years ago, which was divided into various continents various hominids belong to animals , such as European Neanderthals, Asian Homo erectus , African Homo sapiens , and finally African Homo sapiens defeated other Homo sapiens on all continents in 20,000 years, occupying the territory of all continents. So, now people can see all kinds of monkey , but only see one kind of human animal. From the DNA study, it was found that 4% of the Neanderthal genes in the human gene , indicating that the two had intercourse, why the Neanderthals disappeared, there are still doubts, there is a saying that Homo sapiens is a food Humans ate Neanderthals as food.
Where will mankind go in the future? From the perspective of genetic research, human genetic differences are getting bigger and bigger now, not getting smaller and smaller. Will a stronger or weaker second species of Homo sapiens evolve in the future? From the perspective of genetic research, there is such a possibility. Humans explore Mars in response to another evolutionary possibility. 60 million years ago, a meteorite with a diameter of 20KM hit what is now Mexico, and the dust raised caused the ice season. Dinosaurs, which needed a lot of food, failed to survive this catastrophe. If such an event were to happen again, how could humans, whose lives are far more fragile than many animals, avoid genocide? This is what Musk said, human beings must be trans-planetary creatures, so as to avoid annihilation. To explore Mars is to explore the future of the human race.
Perhaps, in the environment of Mars full of carbon dioxide , humans will evolve into a new genus that can adapt to the strong carbon dioxide environment, which is different from the current humans. But what does it matter? Humans are just a member of a small ecosystem in the universe. Humans live for the balance of the ecosystem, and the balance of the ecosystem will not live because of human beings. Without human beings, there will be other life forms to fill the ecosystem. .
let us work hard to live and work hard, to constantly explore our future and create our future.
