The embodiment of animal instinct in animals-Birds build nests

From the eastern Congo to the savanna of South Africa, we can often see a weaver bird called the grey-headed finch. They weave nests with grass and many fibers with different elasticity and hang them on branches like strange fruits. Weavers choose strong animal hair-most commonly zebra or antelope hair, tie the nest firmly to the branches, and tie the hair into a knot with their mouths as a sign. Such a bird's nest can bear the full weight of a pair of adult birds and a few young birds living in it, and will not fall off no matter whether it is windy or rainy.

At the beginning of this century, a natural science enthusiast, Eryenne Murray, found that young birds do not imitate their older partners when building nests. In order to rule out the possibility of young birds being trained, Yi Yan took some eggs from the woven nest and secretly put them in the canary nest raised by his family to hatch. When the chicks hatch and grow up, they are moved to another specific place, where they can form "partners" and have children. At the same time, they are not allowed to get any materials suitable for nesting, but are allowed to lay eggs directly at the bottom of the cage. The laid eggs were taken away again, and then the canary was hatched ... This repeated experiment made the fourth generation of weaver birds not only cut off contact with their predecessors and nature, but also be completely domesticated by human beings.

Now, he puts a handful of grass, some slender branches and fibers in the birdcage. The weaver bird began to work with these materials in the cage. Soon, the birds made their nests in cages, and their styles were no different from those built by their free predecessors. They are familiar with construction technology, and their knowledge in this field is no less than that of their great-grandparents. They also know how to pad the bottom of the cage with soft but not strong horsehair, and they will never weave it into a nest wall by mistake. If there are scraps, they will use them to reinforce the connection between the nest and the tree bars on the cage and tie a special knot with a "trademark".

Marley concluded that the nesting ability of birds is hereditary.

Nowadays, we all know that the only task of transmitting information to the new generation is to have a DNA chain that can translate genetic records into codes. However, in order to realize nesting activities, it is necessary to record the nesting codes, then read these codes, and finally realize it through the movement of the beak. Comparing parts machined by lathe with nesting of birds, the problems encountered by automatic CNC lathe in machining identical metal sections are far less complicated than those faced by nesting of looms. Every time a weaver builds a nest, the situation is different. If wood, branches and other things are used as materials, the work will be interrupted due to various problems, and the damaged buildings must be maintained frequently. It is not feasible to explain from the perspective of genetic transmission instructions here.

In this regard, Polish scholar Machel Kuznets King put forward his view: there may be some fragile, subtle, conceptual behaviors and external references, which are ubiquitous and have internal resonance with organisms.

Spiders weave webs

The same conclusion can be drawn by analyzing the spider's web-weaving activities. Most young spiders don't have much contact with their parents after they break their shells. It can be said that they don't know their parents. And they always try to avoid their parents, so as not to become something in their stomachs. They grew up alone, without any example to refer to, but at a certain age they still know how to weave nets, even though they have never seen them once. Unlike birds, spiders can't grasp their own works through vision, and its difficulty is not difficult to imagine. But they quickly woven the same web that has existed since ancient times.

When a spider starts, it first fixes a silk to a tree, and then pulls the other end to an adjacent tree to make it at the same height. This kind of silk is so thick that it can bear all its weight. Then, pull out a line from the midpoint of this line and fix it on the ground to form the shape of the letter "Y". Its node is the center of the network. Then the spider takes the center as the benchmark and gradually unfolds clockwise at a constant angle to form a spiral web. Spiders can also weave webs with different patterns according to the characteristics of their prey. Its operating procedures are quite standardized. In order to pull the Y-shaped support of the net, the spider must carry out a series of measurements: angle, distance and tension of silk threads with different thicknesses. ...

Researchers believe that to explain this phenomenon, we can only admit the existence of internal factors, because there is no cobweb sample for reference in the surrounding environment. This means that spiders have an overall idea of the web, the form and construction scheme of the web at different working stages, and there is a process manipulation factor responsible for the ongoing or future work. But this kind of operation "software" can't exist in the egg. The example of birds nesting proves that birds' genes can never bear the function of transmitting information from generation to generation. You have to admit that there is an immaterial form that "resonates" with the nerves of all living things and controls their behavior. Unfortunately, many biologists still hope to find cobwebs in eggs.

-Amoeba tower

Amoeba, also known as amoeba, is a unicellular protozoa that is almost invisible to the naked eye, with a maximum diameter of less than 0.6 cm. Amoeba can stretch out a prosthetic foot in the brain and move in all directions. Academically called "amoeba movement", this behavior is the most primitive form of animal movement. Amoebas often crawl on the bottom of water and wet forest soil. They devour bacteria and eat them every three or four hours. Although it has only one single cell, it can do what humans can do-a species that slowly evolved into a brain after 1 100 million years and 4 million years.

If there is a food shortage, the hungry amoeba begins to send out chemical signals, telling the same kind to gather in a central place. Before long, 40,000 to 60,000 single cells gathered together to form a team. The whole body was named "Ricks", which was shaped like a shell-shedding snail and kept moving at a speed of one centimeter per hour. Something puzzling happened.

Although these amoebas have no memory organs, they can remember the order in which they arrived at the assembly site. The first to arrive is always in front of the team, leading a huge team forward. If you go to the end of the line, they will soon return to the head of the line. On the way to search, if they find nothing, they will change their original ideas and build a building that looks like a sphere on the tower together.

This is a great project, which needs a clear division of labor and professional level. But you can't see who is giving orders and directing the progress of the whole project. Amoebas have no sense of touch, no language and no ideology. They can't be aware of their respective spatial positions. But the amoeba seems to have these abilities: people who are late will use their "bodies" to build a disc-shaped pedestal, and the roots on the pedestal are composed of the first people who arrive. The last amoebas who come to report for duty will climb along the roots and form a protruding balloon above them. Some amoebas, like the passengers in the carriage, got into the sphere one by one, where they began to deform and form cysts. Then shrink the volume, remove the water, secrete a coating as a protective outer membrane, stop your metabolism, and finally become a small big "seed". The amoeba, which is made of "flesh and blood" and has a spherical structure, is destined to push itself to death. They will soon die because of lack of food. The amoeba, which drills into the balloon to form "seeds", will be scattered after a period of time because of the rupture of the balloon. If a gust of wind blows, they will have a chance to land on the wetland, come back to life, eat again, decompose and form a team. ...

Now let's observe their construction activities from the perspective of human nature: for example, there are 10 thousand people running on a playground, holding colorful hats and holding celebrations. Suddenly, they stopped and quickly put a flowered hat on their heads. At this time, an accurate portrait composed of various colors is strangely presented to the audience. Who can say that this is human instinct? Obviously, someone drew up a design performance plan in advance, then cut the portrait into 10 thousand points of different colors, then positioned the young men and women one by one, and finally prepared them to accept the instructions of time, place and hat color. The key here is the password and transmission mode of the instruction. Every participant should remember the instructions and act according to them.

What about amoeba? They know nothing about informatics, cybernetics and management theory. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to "build" without a master plan, a command center and architectural drawings. Humans are like this, and so are other animals in nature. There are no goals and cooperative intentions in amoebas, so what is directing their actions? How does an amoeba without a brain receive command signals? So it reminds people of genes.

Theoretically, the genes of amoeba can record the necessary information. Like other animals, its DNA is a long chain. In order to transform the genetic code into action, and to make every amoeba who arrives at the assembly site receive the signals and establish its position in the "building" accordingly, someone or something must have these signals in advance and be able to manipulate the actions of 60,000 insects at the same time. Those amoebas who later climbed onto their compatriots can only know whether to continue climbing or move left and right by referring to the origin of three-dimensional coordinates.

How did the amoeba do all this? There is no ranging mechanism above, so it is impossible to compare and analyze the changes with the plan. Machel Kuznets King believes that the reason is not internal, but external, which is an external factor that affects "employees". There is a draft plan to control each individual's action, which determines the division of labor of tens of thousands of single cells, and determines the diameter and height of each base according to the diameter and weight of future balloons. Physics as we know it at present can't accept these problems. Any kind of physical field-magnetic field, gravitational field and electric field-can't store complex and changeable plans or forms, and can't determine the programming of biological improvisation. So it is reasonable to assume that the so-called "instinct" belongs to another space. It exists in the whole universe and acts on all amoebas. This is an immaterial thing, but creatures "easily read" its instructions and act according to them.

According to the visual principle of frog eye, people have successfully developed an electronic frog eye. This kind of electronic frog's eyes can accurately identify objects with specific shapes like real frog's eyes. After installing electronic frog eyes in radar system, the anti-jamming ability of radar is greatly improved. This radar system can quickly and accurately identify aircraft, ships and missiles with specific shapes. In particular, it can distinguish between true and false missiles and prevent false confusion.

Electronic frog eyes are also widely used in airports and traffic arteries. At the airport, it can monitor the take-off and landing of aircraft, and call the police in time if it is found that the aircraft is about to collide. On the main road, you can direct the vehicles to prevent them from colliding.
