Will killing the little girl save humanity?

Four stars, the story setting is very interesting, it justifies itself, and the ending has twists and depths. In the process of evolution, the second generation of hunters represented by the little girl is obviously the dominant species, which conforms to the laws of evolution. And the complete hunter also does not conform to the law of evolution, because after the human hosts are all planted by fungi, the parasitic fungi will die because there is no host. Regarding the destruction of the world by the Virgin Mary, I do not agree, because the end of the day has come, and human beings have long lost the ability to resist. Some people say that if a female doctor kills a child, humans will be saved. I don’t agree with this. Vaccines require a large number of samples. It is entirely possible that killing a little girl alone will not succeed like the previous experiment. And genes are all selfish, why do you have to dedicate yourself to become a human being?

There are a lot of metaphors about Pandora's box and Schrödinger's cat in it, like this disaster who knows whether it will be endless darkness or the dawn of a new and new human being?

The tears of the female teacher at the end should also be a pity for the demise of mankind. And it’s not right to say that this is a completely different species from humans. It’s just that the human brain is symbiotic with fungi, so I don’t think it’s the extinction of humans, but that humans evolved in another way.

The Girl with All the Gifts quotes

  • Dr. Caroline Caldwell: In dissection it's very clear. The fungus is wrapped around your brain like, ivy around an oak tree.

    Melanie: But I can talk. I'm like you.

    Dr. Caroline Caldwell: You're not like anything that's ever existed before.

  • Melanie: Babies can't eat people.

    Dr. Caroline Caldwell: These ones did. The mothers were probably all infected at once, in a single incident. Then the embryos they were carrying took the infection as well... through the placenta... They ate their way out.
