Could it be that there is only one intelligent creature on earth? I don’t think so. The legends about savages all over the world are ultimately unsubstantiated, but there is actually a legend that has been confirmed, and that is the Himalayan snow monster. Although there are no clear photos, we don't know the exact location of their groups, how many, how big is the largest body size, we can't name them, and announce the discovery of new species to the academic community, but we at least found their footprints and hair. . Through DNA comparison, scientists have confirmed that the Yeti is a hybrid of a polar bear and a brown bear. Perhaps there is no hybridization problem at all. The ancestor of the Yeti is a transitional species of the polar bear and the brown bear. The Yeti is more than any kind of bear we know. big. This legend has a long history. As early as the Warring States Period, in today's Nepal, humans have encountered snow monsters by chance. There used to be many legends of humans encountering snow monsters. For example, the snow monsters drove away the snow leopard to save the humans, then turned and left, the snow monsters abducted the human girl, etc. According to the legends of human encountering snow monsters, the behavior of the snow monsters is relatively close Humans are by no means simple wild animals, so is it possible for snow monsters to evolve into intelligent creatures? I think it is possible. Who says having intelligence is a privilege for primates, but not for bears? Bears and primates have many similarities. For example, they are omnivores with a wide range of diets and have strong survivability. For example, they both have the ability to walk upright. Of course, except for humans, they can only walk upright temporarily, and they are smarter, etc. Wait. As long as you can walk upright permanently, you can evolve into intelligent creatures. Humans also achieved permanent upright walking first, the head development is no longer restricted by the spine, and the brain becomes larger and larger before evolving into intelligent creatures. In the Himalayas, if bears have to walk upright due to the special mountain environment, they may also become intelligent creatures. Of course, they only have primary intelligence, similar to primitive humans tens of thousands of years ago.
The American animated film "Snow Monster Adventure" evokes people's memories of the snow monster legend. Judging from the film, the images of snow monsters are artificially processed. For example, they are very large. The largest is as big as a mammoth and weighs 7-8 tons. Is this possible? In theory, there is such a possibility. In the past, the Tyrannosaurus rex that walked upright on two legs also weighed about 8 tons, but in fact, the legendary snow monster was only about 3 meters tall, and the maximum weight was only 1 ton. Another artificially processed place is that snow monsters have horns on their heads, marking them as vegetarian animals, while the legendary snow monsters belong to bears and are omnivores, and it is impossible to have horns on their heads. Of course, there are two things the movie recognizes about the Yeti. The first is that snow monsters belong to bears, not primates. Humans listen to their language and feel more similar to bear calls, and they can communicate with other bears. The second is that snow monsters are intelligent creatures, of course, their civilization level It is only equivalent to the primitive society of human beings. Regarding this movie, there are various comments on the Internet, so I won't say more, but many people are puzzled by the abrupt ending of the happy reunion in the last ten minutes. Why is the ending written like this? I don’t think this ending is sudden. After careful analysis, we will find that a lot of foreshadowing has been done before. Let’s look at my analysis as follows:
First, the film explains why snow monsters are afraid of humans. In the past, it was possible for primitive humans to eat snow monsters, but now we cannot remember what our ancestors did. In the hunting era, humans actually like to hunt large prey. Although hunting large prey is very dangerous, the benefits of killing large prey are also considerable. For example, killing one mammoth is enough for the whole family to eat for a month. And hunting small prey is often not worth the gain. For example, killing a pheasant is not enough for the hunter to eat, and it is impossible to distribute it to the family. Besides, the small prey is agile, escapes fast, and has strong hiding ability, while the large prey, due to its size It is too big, there is nowhere to hide, and it is basically impossible to run away when the primitive people find it. Secondly, this kind of happy ending did not come suddenly, but there was a foreshadowing ahead. The snow monster Migo and the human Percy released their goodwill to each other and saved each other. Migo rescued Percy from the giant bear's mouth. Posey bandaged the bleeding Migo, and finally knocked down Migo with a sedative gun. Pretending to be a Yeti saves Migo. Why was Percy released so quickly when he was caught by the police? The film does not explain. I guess that Percy, facing the police interrogation, may say such touching words, the yeti exist, I have become friends with them, and I am pretending to be the yeti, just don't want them to be hurt. Of course, the police officers who interrogated Percy were also aware of the existence of the snow monster. For example, it was impossible for Percy to fly the police car with a chain. It was the snow monster Maggie who did this. Why is there a chain of suspicion between different ethnic groups? The main reason is that there is a lack of intermediaries as a bridge of communication, so both parties cannot feel the goodwill of the other party and cause misunderstandings. In this film, the human Percy becomes a bridge of communication, eliminating misunderstandings between the two sides. The role of this bridge is reflected in the fact that the village head of the snow monster dared to lead the tribe down the mountain because of the kindness released by humans to the snow monster. In order to save Migo, Posie was caught by the police himself, which made the village head feel that the human beings today are not like the ancient times. So barbaric. And the human police didn't shoot the snow monsters down the mountain because Percy took the initiative to play with the snow monsters down the mountain to prove that these snow monsters are peaceful and have no danger.
Also, modern humans are civilized and don't mutilate wildlife like they used to, and we don't see snow monsters as any threat. Even if snow monsters have a certain degree of civilization, they are not hominids, not another human being, or even primates. In our eyes, they are just huge bears. Since in our eyes they are nothing but non-threatening wild animals, even if they are large, they are far worse than fin whales. We are not afraid of fin whales, nor are we afraid of them. We know their existence, not only will they not harm them , and their habitats will be designated as protected areas to protect them. Finally, if the finale is that we humans massacre those snow monsters that go down the mountain, the theme of the movie will be too dark, the approval will not pass, and it will not be released in countries around the world.
Of course, this seemingly happy ending is actually a forced smile. There will never be a sequel to this movie, and it is too depressing to continue. From then on, the yeti's life will change from happiness to depression. Heading south, at the foot of the Himalayas, are the fertile plains of India and Nepal. The snow monsters saw the human city at the foot of the mountain. As intelligent creatures, they must be full of curiosity and yearning for the human city. For the village chief, his daughter, and Migo, the three snow monsters who knew more about the truth, The feeling is more complicated. In addition to curiosity and yearning, I must be unwilling. My ancestors were slaughtered by humans, and their ancestors' homes were seized by humans. The fertile plains at the foot of the mountain used to be the home of snow monsters, but the humans were so powerful that the snow monsters moved to the mountains to avoid humans. But what if you are unwilling? After going back, the village chief will definitely forbid any snow monsters from entering the human territory, the reason is that they can't be provoked. How beautiful is the world of human beings, but because of the power of human beings, the village chief does not let them go, is it oppressive? As for the village chief, his daughter, and Migo, the three snow monsters who know more about the truth, the feeling is more complicated. In addition to curiosity and yearning, they must be unwilling. Their ancestors were slaughtered by humans, and their ancestors' homes were destroyed Humans seized, but humans are too powerful, let alone revenge, they will not even dare to go to human territory in the future, can they suppress it? In the past, there were more snow monsters than now. Humans in the past were still in the Stone Age. Humans drove snow monsters to the deep mountains. Now humans have mastered advanced technology, and they dare not provoke humans. The village chief brought the snow monsters down the mountain, in fact, just to establish a peaceful coexistence and non-threatening relationship with human beings. The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is well said, there is fear and hatred. Snow monsters are intelligent creatures, and it is possible to remember what humans did to their ancestors. If humans do not pay attention to protecting the environment and saving resources, one day, humans will When faced with the disaster of extinction, will the snow monster rush down the mountain and counterattack against humans? I think that apart from humans, there is another intelligent creature on earth that is not another primate, but a kind of bear. Does this view destroy the three views?
