Greetings, Mister Principal: Seminar

"The evolution of species?"

Reiner is a little curious. If we talk about the laws of species evolution, then there is no doubt that it should be the field of evolution. However, the mages of the Immortal Throne have only figured out the blood factors and genetic laws a short time ago. How can they be deduced so quickly? Performing a similar theory of evolution?

With this mentality in mind, he looked at the paper in the middle of the table.

The content of this paper was projected into the air, allowing everyone to browse it at will. Reiner noticed that except for Hannah, only Bell and Igor were reading carefully, and the rest were just reading. After a few glances, he stopped paying attention.

Maybe it’s because they specialize in different factions, so it’s hard to comment.

Reiner thought this way. He looked at the paper and roughly figured out why this paper was sent to this review committee that specializes in identifying potentially innovative and disruptive papers.

Mr. Potsdam's theory belongs to the evolutionary school, which is one of the two opposing factions in the Immortal Throne regarding the origin of living things. The view of this faction is that living things are not what people see at the beginning, but evolve from simple to complex. Evolving from monotony to variety.

As for the other group, they believe that living things are born this way, and humans have been the masters of the world from the beginning. The two groups have been arguing since the ancient Magic Empire, but many recent studies have shown that biological evolution is more convincing.

The Master Potsdam Baptiste has lived in a demiplane that has been defined as safe for a long time to study the ecology of wild animals. During ten years of observation records, he gradually condensed a Perspectives on biological evolution.

That is, living things will be affected by the surrounding environment, and the evolution of species will also change with the environment. The more frequently used organs are, the easier it is to evolve, and this kind of trait that evolves to adapt to the environment is Can be inherited.

Potsdam gave a simple example, which is the human brain.

The more you think and use your brain for a long time, the smarter you will be. The more lazy you are and give up thinking, the stupider you will be. From what people have observed, this theory is quite realistic. .

"Use it or lose it..."

After seeing the summary at the end of the paper, Reiner murmured to himself.

"Although I have not looked up data on similar species, judging from the data presented in the paper, I think this view is not subversive, but at least quite enlightening. What do you think?"

Seeing that everyone else had finished browsing the papers, Hannah added.

"I have no objection."

Director Percival was the first to say, and then Roger and Savros also nodded in agreement.

Igor thought for a while, but finally said nothing.

Bell frowned slightly, hesitated to speak, and finally shrugged like a sigh.

"Since everyone has no objections, then just follow what you originally thought, Hannah..."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Percival."

Reiner's voice interrupted Director Percival's concluding speech, causing everyone present to look at the young man sitting at the corner of the long table.

"...What's the matter, Reiner?"

Director Percival was stunned for a moment before he asked.

"Regarding this paper, I think it cannot be commented so simply."

Reiner's words made Director Percival raise his eyebrows.

“When reviewing a paper, shouldn’t we conduct the same experiments based on the ideas and conclusions, or at least find phenomena in past records that can be explained by the content of the paper? This is how we get the results without other theoretical support. The review results of the paper seem inappropriate."

Leiner said that he had read the thesis review committee's manual, which clearly described how a thesis review committee should evaluate the paper. The most important point is that practice will lead to true knowledge, and you must not rely solely on the paper. Evaluate based on the content described in .

In fact, for several of Reiner's previous papers, the review committee members made their comments after conducting experiments. Even the most difficult to verify genetics papers were recently reviewed by some mages from the Immortal Throne. Biological research has gradually proved it.

Therefore, Reiner believes that it is precisely because he is on the review committee for a breakthrough paper that he must be more cautious. Facing such a paper, drawing conclusions without careful verification is not only harmful to the author of the paper. Dereliction of duty is also a desecration of one's own job.

"Hannah, what do you think?"

Director Percival did not respond directly to Reiner's words, but turned to look at Hannah, the first reviewer of this paper.

“Well, having said that, it is very difficult to directly verify this paper. From the perspective of actual observation, I don’t think there is a big problem.”

Hannah was also a little troubled. Originally, the paper proposed at this seminar was difficult for the first reviewer to grasp. She originally wanted to hand over the decision-making power to her superior Percival. Since Percival nodded, , then my review opinions would be guaranteed, but I didn’t expect that Reiner would appear halfway through, and it would not be so easy to pass the test now.

“I think this theory is too one-sided and emphasizes the role of subjectivity. If an organ can evolve through long-term use and be passed on to the next generation, how can we explain the conclusion that parents and children have completely different physiques? ”

Reiner asked calmly and in a deep voice.

"What's more, according to this conclusion, species have evolved every organ of the body to the extreme over thousands of years. The world is definitely not what it is now. This is a little bit more logical reasoning. You can get the answer just by thinking about it."

"This..."

Hannah was speechless for a moment. She looked at Director Percival, trying to get support.

"Hannah, since Reiner said this, you might as well go back and find other information to verify it, and don't jump to conclusions so easily."

Director Percival did not continue to support Hannah, but asked her to review the paper again.

"...Okay~IndoMTL.com~I understand."

Hannah put away the paper helplessly and glanced at Reiner, not sure what her emotion was.

"Let's continue."

Director Percival acted as if nothing had happened and signaled that the discussion would continue.

In the following discussions on several papers, Reiner made suggestions on the imperfections. By the time the meeting ended, it was already lunch time.

After making the final summary, Percival thought for a moment and spoke quietly, reminding Reiner.

"Leiner, you are the assistant review member, and you are mainly responsible for recording the discussion and organizing the final results. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand."

Reiner nodded slightly, of course he heard what Director Percival meant.

That is to tell Reiner to stay out of his own business.
