A bird that has been sleeping for 46,000 years reappears in the world. Is it a good thing or a matter of caution for the earth and human beings? After all, when things go wrong, there must be demon laws that apply to all aspects of life.
According to “Communication Biology”, the bird was a female lark. Because it was discovered in time, scientists mistakenly thought that the bird had just died, but when scientists brought the lark back to the experiment After in-depth research, it was discovered that this little bird had been dead for 46,000 years. It was only because of the cold temperature of the Arctic Circle that frozen soil and ice and snow covered it, so that the remains of the lark were perfectly preserved.
This discovery surprised scientists at first. After all, most of the prehistoric creatures were buried deep in the earth’s crust, and there was no research value at all, but this lark carried genes from tens of thousands of years ago. For historians, it has extremely high research value, but when they think about it, scientists are in trouble, because the appearance of the lark means that the climate in the Arctic has changed dramatically, otherwise the lark will continue to be used. Buried in permafrost.
It is not difficult to find that the rapid development of human civilization has seriously affected the earth’s ecological environment. The warming of the earth’s climate has exceeded the normal changes in the earth’s ecological environment. Even the Antarctic and Arctic, the coldest regions on the planet, have seen their temperatures rise significantly. The thawing of permafrost will allow more and more prehistoric creatures to return to the world. What does this mean?
Scientists have revealed that the Antarctic glaciers will continue to melt, and the Arctic virus will have nowhere to hide. Prehistoric creatures were originally parasitic with dozens to hundreds of species of bacteria. These germs lived from tens of thousands to millions of years ago, and they may not be able to adapt to today’s earth’s ecological environment. Once any one of these germs mutates, it may be a disaster for human beings, not to mention There will be more than one germ. Take the new coronavirus in 2020 as an example, we know how harmful the bacteria are to humans.
As for the melting of glaciers in Antarctica, it is also not to be underestimated. Since the land area of the earth that can survive on land itself is limited, when glaciers and snow water continue to flow into the ocean, it will promote sea level rise, which means some terrain Low-level countries will sink into the ocean. Even if the economy is developed and the technology is advanced, it will not be able to withstand a large-scale natural ecological crisis. What should human beings do at that time?
That’s why scientists say that the frequent discovery of prehistoric creatures reappearing in the world is not good news. I wonder what everyone thinks of this?
