“Survival of the fittest applies not just to humans, but to all species. If our human ancestors had not been forced by their environment to evolve their brains, they might not have advanced at all,” one of them said.
“Who says evolution is the ultimate truth? It’s just a theory proposed by
Darwin, right?” another questioned.
“Well, it might be a theory, but it’s currently the most reasonable explanation for the origin of species,” a third person chimed in.
“True, perhaps in the future, with scientific advancements, the theory of evolution might be disproved. But for now, it’s the most reasonable explanation we have.”
“I don’t believe it! You are the ones descended from monkeys!”
“Believe it or not, that’s your choice! Hahaha! I don’t believe it either, but I will continue to learn and acquire knowledge to disprove it.”
At that moment, Su Meiji and Li Shishi finally understood why they had not found any evidence of early upright humans at the site. It was not that these early humans did not try to escape the flood; they simply could not. They were already dead, reduced to piles of bones and corpses. How could they run?
No wonder they had found so many polished stone tools but no trace of early humans. To be honest, this result disappointed Li Shishi. She had hoped that early humans could have made polished stone tools as well; that would have been a groundbreaking discovery.
Unfortunately, if the intelligence of these Homo Erectus had been that advanced, they would not have been outcompeted by Homo Sapiens. With advanced limbs and higher intelligence, Homo Sapiens would have been wiped out by these Homo Erectus.
About ten minutes later, they had unearthed more than twenty fossilized teeth. Strangely, they also found some limestone nearby. Upon examination, they determined that the limestone had been left by the roots of some plants. This confirmed that these were indeed ancient human -made ornaments made from teeth.
Luo Feng looked around and saw that only a few scattered artifacts remained to be excavated. They had already uncovered more than 230 fossils in the area. “Meiji, Rubing, Shishi, everyone, let’s take a break and wash our hands. We’re done for today!” he said.
Seeing that it was already past eleven, Luo Feng decided it was time for everyone to rest. The excitement of the mystery had kept them energized, but now fatigue was setting in. If this were city life, they might still be at a bar or playing computer games. But after a day of digging, everyone was tired.
Many of the second-generation heir participants found this type of life to be a good way to stay in shape and have fun, as treasure hunting was inherently enjoyable. Some of the women even joined the treasure hunting group to lose weight, which was quite peculiar.
“Are we not waiting any longer?” Gu Santong asked with a puzzled expression.
“What for?”
“For buyers!”
“Hahaha, no, we’re not waiting!” Luo Feng shook his head. “I’m not selling these artifacts. Don’t you remember, I’ve already opened my own museum in the prime location in Shanghai? The construction has started, and I’ve invested a total of 2 billion yuan! The land alone cost me 1.6 billion yuan, with the remaining 400 million yuan for construction and decoration. When the time comes, the rest of the museums will have to borrow artifacts from me! But don’t worry, I’ll be reasonable with the rental fees!”
When Luo Feng mentioned the low rental fees, Gu Santong could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Not just him, but the viewers of the livestream from other museums like Shanghai’s Museum, the Jiangnan Museum, and Long Jianfei also felt a shiver down their spines. They all hoped that Luo Feng would not charge them exorbitant fees for borrowing his relics.
“Luo Feng, I have a collector here who says he’s willing to pay a high price for the complete early human fossil you found!” Qin Rubing checked her phone with a frown. Even though Luo Feng had already explicitly stated that he had no intention of selling these fossils, some stubborn folks still attempted to persuade him through Qin Rubing.
She found this rather annoying. If it were not for the fact that the person was a long-time customer of her antique store, she would not even have mentioned it.
“Help me decline their offer. As I said before, I’ll keep these artifacts for myself.
Who needs money when I already have my own museum?” Luo Feng could see Qin Rubing’s reluctance, especially since she had discreetly shaken her head, indicating that she was only conveying someone else’s request.
Even if she had not passed on the message, Luo Feng would not have sold the fossil.
“Alright then!” Qin Rubing gave a faint smile, certain that her friend watching the livestream would understand that she had already made the effort, butt here was simply nothing she could do. After all, Luo Feng no longer cared about money. With a net worth of 50 billion yuan, did he really need more?
Of course, with that 50 billion, he might just barely qualify as her future husband. But why wasn’t he pursuing her? Was he really that aloof, waiting for a woman to chase after him?
If she weren’t so proud, she might have taken the initiative like Li Shishi and tried to win him over. After all, Qin Rubing believed that her figure, especially her long legs, gave her quite a huge advantage over other competitors.
But after more than twenty years of not experiencing love, it was hard for her to let go of her pride and chase a man, especially when it meant losing her face while doing so.
The next morning, when Luo Feng got up, Su Meiji was already outside the tent chatting with the other women. Su Meiji asked, “Luo Feng, are we going back to the Homo Sapiens site we found yesterday?”
“Of course not!” Luo Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and shook his head.
“Why not? Didn’t we leave areas unexcavated? There might still be valuable artifacts there,” Li Shishi asked, puzzled..
