In 1859, Charles Darwin compiled the research materials in his hands into a volume and published "The Origin of Species", officially creating the "Theory of Evolution".
Many years later, the theory of evolution was introduced into China, namely "The Evolution of the Sky", translated by Yan Fu in 1897. "Natural Evolution" promotes "natural selection, survival of the fittest", and its original author is the British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley - the evangelist of the theory of evolution.
In 1884, Herbert George Wells won a scholarship at the Teachers College of Normal University in London, and it was Thomas Henry Huxley who guided him to study biology . Wells and the theory of evolution intersect in this way.
In 1886, Wells began serializing his novels in newspapers under the title The Chronic Argonauts, and these serials were published in 1895 under the name The Time Machine.
"Time Machine" is about the earth 800,000 years later, and human beings have evolved into two types of people - Moruo people and Eli people. Wells , based on the theory of evolution, combined the relationship between the British social classes at that time, and imagined the society in 800,000 years later - a society of cannibalism, where the Moro people domesticated and selected the Eli Human food.
In 1918, Lu Xun published the novel "Diary of a Madman". The "madman" delusionally thought that he would be eaten by others. When he looked through the history, the two words "cannibalism" were written all over the book, which strongly reflected the cruelty of the social environment at that time. one side.
Wells and Lu Xun both saw the "cannibalistic" side of society, or did Lu Xun see "The Time Machine" before the "Diary of a Madman"?
