In order to find out the truth about the savage in Shennongjia, the China Academy of Sciences and the Hubei Provincial Party Committee jointly organized the "Strange Animal Scientific Investigation Team in Northwest Hubei" and conducted a series of investigations on the savage. However, nine months later, people failed to find the savage in that expedition.
Later, a "savage fan" who visited the savage at his own expense broke into Shennongjia alone. One day, when he climbed to the depths of the jungle halfway up the main peak, he was surprised to find hundreds of strange footprints. On the mountain at an altitude of1900m, he found another 40cm-long footprint.
In order to wait for the savage, the "savage fans" set up hammocks between trees and tied themselves with thick ropes. A few days later, when he woke up in his hammock, he heard the cry of "oh oh". In a short time. He saw a black shadow stand up, and then he smelled a foul smell. "Savage Fan" excitedly raised his body, only to find that he fell to the ground with his bed, his shadow was stupefied, and he quickly left.
1977, Liu Min Zhuang, a biology teacher of East China Normal University, also went to Shennongjia to look for savages. Mr. Liu and his friends walked in the mountains for several days, so tired that his back ached and his legs ached. Finally, they found several savage footprints more than 30 centimeters long in Gaoyazhai. A month later, they found more than 100 large footprints near Badong Cliff at an altitude of 2,700 meters. 1June, 1979, Mr. Liu Min Zhuang came to Shennongjia for the second time, and verified five "savage" incidents in Zhushan County in1September, 1978. They walked countless mountain roads, waded over more than 2,500 rivers, and finally found several big footprints with wide front and narrow back, and no arches. The big footprint is 30 ~ 40 cm long, and the big toe forms a 30-degree angle with the other four toes, and there is a round dimple at the front end of each toe.
On another occasion, Mr. Liu heard from the road builder that in the village near the highway, someone saw a red wild animal in the dark, which looked like a bear, but the posture of running away after being frightened was not like a bear. When he heard the news, he found several large footprints 33 cm long, so he poured a plaster model and continued to track forward.
The next day, it rained cats and dogs. They walked between steep cliffs and walked 60 kilometers a day. On the way back, it rained harder and harder, and it was snowing. They carried dozens of kilograms of gypsum, cameras, measuring equipment, dry food and self-defense weapons with them, and rolled and crawled on narrow paths until it was dark.
In June of the same year165438+1October, Mr. Liu and several expedition members came to the slate area on the northern slope and upstream of Shennongjia at an altitude of 2500 meters. There are mountains, dense forests and caves here. Within 25 square kilometers of Fiona Fang, they can always find hundreds of fresh savage footprints. The largest of these footprints is 43 cm long, and the smallest is only 2 1 cm long. Judging from the team members, this is probably the lair of the savage. They slept in the wind and spent two whole days watering more than 10 gypsum marks.
1980 In May, Mr. Liu led a team into Shennongjia again and set up a shack in no man's land. 14 days, they all lived a life without food or salt, and some players persisted in the investigation with high fever. In order to further observe the savages, they moved to live in the jungle at an altitude of 1800 ~ 2600 meters. In a valley called Hongyanzi, they found two footprints 29 cm long and 36 cm long. At present, there are two different views on the existence of savages in academic circles. Supporters believe that savage's theory is true. A long time ago, there lived a great ape near Shennongjia and Jiuwan Mountain. They have a huge and strong skull and a huge and strong trunk. They can walk upright. They can grasp natural sticks and stones with both hands. Their recipes are very miscellaneous, but they are all vegetarian.
The results of scientific investigation in Shennongjia and Jiuwan Mountain show that savages can walk upright, touch the ground on all fours when climbing, have very flexible head rotation, long hair and shawl, face shape similar to that of modern people, wide eyes and small mouth, white teeth, no canine teeth and footprints as long as 40 cm. They live in caves and like to eat raw bamboo shoots, wild fruits, mollusks, earthworms and various insects.
Could savages be descendants of ancient apes? People think it is entirely possible. Take the giant panda as an example. 10000 years ago, due to the emergence and development of primitive agriculture and the subsequent climate change, although most of the giant pandas disappeared from the earth, a small number of giant pandas survived tenaciously. If the giant panda is like this, will the anthropoids who are contemporary with the giant panda still look like the giant panda?
If so, what Darwin, a British biologist, said is the missing link in the evolutionary history from apes to humans, which can be replaced by savages. However, many people think that the "savage theory" is untenable.
First of all, so far, no one has captured the savage alive, only some hair, scalp and bones have been found. Are these hairs, scalps and bones relics of barbarians? No one can be sure. Moreover, only the most footprints were seen in the investigation, so it is arbitrary that the footprints must be savages rather than humans. The second reason: after such a long time of exploration, why have no savages been found so far? This only means that savages don't exist.
