Chapter 1387 Mutual training

"Mutual training is a very good concept. Let me tell you first, how do you view the concept of mutual training?"

Chen Kan asked with a smile. When Chen Kan passed through the information room separately from Jiang Kai, a student happened to come out of the information room and asked Chen Kan a question.

In fact, the encounter between the two was not a coincidence. This "coincidence" was arranged on purpose. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Chen Kan happened to pass by the door of the information room and he happened to come out. The probability is too low.

And after a simple greeting, he immediately raised a question. Judging from his shy appearance, it was obvious that this question he had prepared for a long time.

In addition, when Chen Kan was chatting with Jiang Kai, he noticed that his gaze was on him, and the source of his gaze was the information room. If Chen Kan guessed correctly, the student would pay attention to himself in the information room. He came out of the information room when he came over, so he had this chance encounter.

Of course, such small things are harmless. Chen Kan did this kind of thing when he was in college, which also evoked Chen Kan's memory of studying back then. But to be honest, the question Chen Kan asked was much more advanced than the question he raised now.

He directly put forward a concept, this kind of question is too low-level and has no thoughts of his own.

"Mutual training literally means taming each other. In the farming era, humans domesticated wheat, just like domesticated chickens and ducks. Nowadays, domestic chickens cannot spread their wings and fly high like pheasants. Although wheat is a plant, the truth is the same. Through selection, our ancestors gradually eliminated those with low yields and insufficient fruits, so the current wheat is here."

"Yes." Chen Kan nodded.

Seeing Chen Kan nodding, the classmate was quite excited and continued: "Because of the principle of mutual training, not only people tame wheat, but also wheat is taming people. Because of wheat, humans have to sow in spring, eliminate summer, harvest in autumn, and store in winter. Arrange their own activities according to seasons and seasons, turning the originally wandering life of gathering and hunting into a settlement life."

"Can I ask? Are you a student in our history department?" Chen Kan asked.

"Well, I am a freshman in Class 1 of the History Department of Level 17. My name is Li Yunxiao. I am a teacher's student, but the teacher hasn't taught us a lesson yet." The classmate said shyly and touched the back of his head.

"I just said why don't you have any impression of you? Because of some personal matters, your ancient Chinese history will officially start classes in October."

"That's going to be soon."

"Yes, let's talk about mutual training. Have you read Harari's "A Brief History of Humanity"?" Chen Kan asked.

"Actually, I haven't read it yet. I've read book reviews before and am quite curious about the concept of mutual training, but I haven't found the book "A Brief History of Humanity" in school." Li Yunxiao shook his head and said.

"The Chinese version of this book has been published for so long, and the library has not yet been published?" Chen Kan frowned slightly.

"I didn't find it."

"Oh, what's this?" Chen Kan was a little disappointed with this. This is the gap between schools. If he was in a first-class university, he would not be able to say the Chinese version of this book. When the English version was published, he would definitely buy it as soon as possible for some students to read it.

"A Brief History of Mankind" is written by Israeli historian Yuval Harari. This Harari studied history and later read a lot of books. He was not only proficient in history, but also proficient in biology, sociology, politics, natural science and other disciplines. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the standard bearer of the interdisciplinary fields recognized by the world and the master of the academic community.

Regarding this book "A Brief History of Humanity", there is such an evaluation in the industry - conquering the global elite class, which was a must-read book for the elite class in the first few years after its publication.

The content of this book is very simple, just as the title of the book says, it writes about the history of human beings for millions of years. Although this topic seems a bit broad, the master is a master and does write different things. Both the perspective and the entry point are very novel, and the interpretation of human history is very insightful.

Even though it is controversial, it is undeniable that this is a rare and good book in the contemporary era, but it is not available in the school library. It really disappoints Chen Kan. Chen Kan bought it himself, but was borrowed by someone.

"Teacher Chen, when will our department store buy new books?" Chen Kan said to the information room. He asked Chen Mei, the management teacher of the information room.

"Teacher Chen is going to give his advice again. Let's talk, which book is this time?" Chen Mei smiled.

"Yuval Harari's "A Brief History of Mankind" and "A Brief History of the Future"" said Chen Kan.

"A Brief History of the Future" is a new work by Harari this year. The author uses his own research to base himself on the past and present, look forward to the future, and guess the future world development.

Don’t think that writing future works is either science fiction or silence. This is not the case. There is a discipline called "future science", which specializes in studying the future. It is a serious matter and supported by theory.

Harari's "A Brief History of the Future" made extremely bold speculations about the development of mankind. The subtitle of this book is - From Homo sapiens to God-Man. He believes that humans will evolve into "God-Man" in the future. Don't think that "God-Man" is a good thing. God-Man is not a good thing for most people. Ordinary people will be cruelly eliminated.

"Okay." As he said that, Chen Mei picked up a pen and wrote it down in his notebook. Chen Kan has recommended a lot of books since he was working.

"If you buy the information room, you can read this book. In fact, if conditions permit, you can buy one by yourself. This book is not bad. Mutual training is proposed by Harari, and the relationship between humans and wheat is also an example of Harari."

"Yeah, yes."

"Now wheat is the second largest crop in the world, and it can be said to be spread all over the world. If wheat has ideas and can speak, then wheat will definitely thank humans. They have made humans slaves. As you said, they are restricted to fields all day long, and the wages paid by wheat are actually very small. They just contribute some brothers and sisters to be eaten by humans every year, and will not hinder their own reproduction and reproduction at all. Now they have occupied the whole world."

"Of course, in the eyes of humans, humans domesticated wheat."

"Your previous statement is generally consistent with what Harari said, but you will have to wait until you read this book to understand it further. But here I will ask you a question."

"What?"
