The real master of the earth may be a virus. Who is the master of the earth now? Many people may say that it is human beings, because the death of human beings has dominated the world, but it does not mean that human beings have become the masters of the entire earth. After all, there are still many things in the earth that humans cannot control. Viruses that give us a lot of trouble.
Human History
If we just look at the recorded history of human beings, it is only about 5,000 years old. The history of human beings, including the earliest Homo sapiens, may only be more than 200,000 years. Even if the ancestors of the first humans are counted, the Australopithecus is only about 5 million years old, but we must know that the life span of the earth may have already More than 4 billion years ago, the earliest cells appeared on the earth about 1.2 billion years ago, and I was already the first batch of organisms on the earth. And some of these cells evolved into organisms, and some of them were fireworks and became viruses.
Self-awareness
For current scientists, although viruses do not have this autonomous consciousness, they do have certain instincts, such as spreading, splitting, etc., are carried out unconsciously, and viruses can almost never be able to Killed, now the viruses we call eradicated are restrained by other drugs, or these viruses are temporarily sealed up. Once these viruses reappear in the world, it will definitely bring great disaster to the world . Human beings are still unable to completely restrain the virus.
Viral Development
What is denied is whether viruses will develop into a real life in the future, because human beings also gradually evolved through bacteria and single-celled organisms. Maybe in the next era, the viruses under our control will completely defeat human beings, and they will become a new life and rule the earth, but it is also possible that the scientific development of human beings in the future will be enough to completely eliminate the jigsaw puzzle.
