Li Hui's "consternation" and the politicization of academic issues
Yellow drink ice
Li Hui was stunned that "the theory of Chinese African origin is problematic and is not suitable for talking."
I have also experienced Li Hui's consternation, remember it was 1998, right? (Not sure), I happened to see CCTV broadcast a TV movie "Who is Eve?" I was really stunned! Why? Ten years after leaving college, Chinese ancestors changed? I'm not mistaken for who is Eve? Instead, he was stunned that the skeleton unearthed by African archaeology was "Eve". Who is Eve? Such an academic issue is actually propaganda and brainwashing with the strength of the state! How many college-educated people don't know that the African origin theory is a hypothesis? Who can be sure that the skeleton excavated in Africa is "Eve"? She can't be a "nuwa"?
In my astonishment, I finally came back to my senses and re-read all the books I had read, and I did not find a record of Eve's genes; I also went to the library to find a Bible, and there was no record of Eve's genes in the Bible. How do academic peddlers determine who Eve is? Through the Bible, I can't read the stories of fornication, but I get to the basic truth: Eve was made by Gaga out of one of Adam's ribs. According to the original meaning of the Bible, there was a man In this world first, Adam, and then there was a woman Eve. This is too far from the divine design of China's Nuwa to create man! How can state television promote and brainwash such nonsense?
Later, I was stunned by the African origin theory, and was confirmed by the genetic research of Fudan University! In China, the African origin hypothesis is not a hypothesis, it is an unquestionable political correctness, Chinese ancestors are ironclad from Africa. What is the use of archaeological evidence? The "shovel-shaped incisors", "green spots" and "eye folds" that have been inherited from apes to modern humans are not evidence. How to explain it? They are all extinct. How simple!
As a student of Fudan University, has Li Hui forgotten the role that politics once played in promoting the whole country and brainwashing the whole people in the scholarship of Li Hui and his mentors? Was it "that was a lecture invitation, the organizer invited Li Hui to give a lecture on the origin of Chinese, and not long after, the organizer called him to inform him that the lecture was canceled", which made Li Hui "stunned"? Li Hui was not only stunned, but also felt incredible, "For the problem of the origin of modern people in Africa, after so many years of in-depth research and perfecting so many details, I did not expect to receive such a refusal."
It is true that Li Hui, as a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Fudan University, is mainly engaged in molecular anthropology, and he is indeed a top scientist who explores the origin of human beings and the beginning of civilization from DNA. In Li Hui's view, the African origin theory is supported by almost all the existing evidence, and the pattern of African origin is clearly reflected in genetics, fossil forms, language and culture.
But what does Li Hui's view have to do with the organizers canceling his lecture?
There are so many lecture halls in Fudan, and no one interferes with Li Hui's daily lectures, because the academic and lecture halls are the original match. Outside of the school, it was normal to invite or not invite Li Hui to lecture, because no matter how high Li Hui's academic evaluation of himself was, academia was academic after all.
Li Hui has done so many years of in-depth research and perfected many details, which shows that his scholarship is not fully mature. Women always think that the child they have is the most perfect, but others don't necessarily see it that way. It's a simple truth. Li Hui's right choice was to return to the laboratory, continue to refine the details, and weld the chain more brightly. Instead of being stunned and inconceivable.
Astonishment and incredulity, of course, came from Li Hui's natural intellectual superiority. He did not understand that there were no numbers of evolution engraved on the genes, nor did it engrave the time of evolution, let alone the place of evolution. "When different people are separated, how many years they are separated, and then how many branches are divided", these things "can be calculated very accurately in the genetic lineage", but still have to be "calculated"; "from the genetic point of view, you can make a very clear judgment", but still have to "judge". These are all what Li Hui said to reporters.
His own words of "counting" and "judging" show that genes are not literature. In fact, the literature is also misremembered, and the actual records are also falsified. These straight words sound against the ear, but they are telling the truth.
As I said a few years ago, genes are also a science that needs to be explained and interpreted. Genetic research also needs theoretical guidance. The starting point of the research model and theory is wrong, and the "calculation" and "judgment" are wrong.
A few years ago, I asked what is the theoretical model of molecular anthropology at Fudan University? What is the theoretical basis for genetic research. Also recognize what genes are. Are genes immortal, and are they less reliable the more ancient they are? The study of the origin of mankind has to go deep into the ancient times for thousands, tens of thousands of years, millions of years or even tens of millions of years, can genes ensure that they are not interrupted? A few years ago, a female researcher claimed that she had an invention that could detect and extract human genes in the soil, and she did not understand that at the gene level, organisms can share it? Does the ghost know whose genes she detects and extracts?
As an outsider, no one knows how Li Hui's genetic research was conducted, whether the specimens selected by Li Hui were representative and universal, and what we saw was the results published by Li Hui, and did not participate in the process of calculation and judgment. Is Li Hui's research reliable or unreliable? Only God knows.
I experienced an oolong incident in a nucleic acid test and knew that the judgment of negative and positive would be wrong.
In fact, the following figure puts the problem on the table, the same result, different theoretical interpretations lead to different results:
Li Hui was naturally unhappy not to invite Li Hui to speak, especially when Li Hui was invited to speak, and who refused to speak before the lecture began. However, Li Hui did not start from continuing to study in depth to solve the possible problems in his own scholarship, nor did he start from continuing to improve the details to solve the possible problems in his own scholarship, but started from sensationalism, guided the academic problems to politics, and let people conclude that politics interfered with Li Hui's academic research, and it was the political environment that forced the organizers not to ask Li Hui to talk about the origin of Chinese in Africa. Did the ancestors of the Chinese really come from Africa? In the article, it is very straightforward.
In "Chinese ancestors, did they really come from Africa? In the article, the first sentence of the opening paragraph is "Chinese african origin is problematic and not suitable for talking." This sentence is intriguing. Chinese originated in Africa, from the beginning of Li Hui's tutor to speak, Li Hui also from the student to the professor, and is the world's top expert, the organizer suddenly said that it is not suitable to speak, who has such a big tone? Li Hui only needs to put the problem here, which will arouse people's associations and play a role in sensationalizing: Who ate the leopard's guts and did not let Li Hui talk about it? Where is this academic issue, this is clearly a political issue. Further, this is that this is completely someone engaging in political manipulation and completely political oppression of Li Hui's play.
Did the ancestors of Chinese really come from Africa? The article then moved out of the authority: the American magazine "Science" introduced Li Hui's research results in a report on Li Hui in 2016, and the editors of the current issue believed that Li Hui's research had opened up new fields and solved problems that could not be solved before, and they called this new field of science "historical anthropology". Li Hui said that "historical anthropology has a new research paradigm, which is different from traditional history and anthropology."
What Li Hui wants to express is that the United States recognizes his research, and has created a new discipline called "historical anthropology" for his research, and you countrymen are too weak-minded and too ignorant. Li Hui still had a little spirit of awe, he did not say the phrase "my academic background is the United States", but as long as he is not too stupid, he can taste it with a little brain cell.
Next, Li Hui talked about a bunch of theories and reasoning of popular science, and then the conversation shifted to he saw a siege of the "African origin theory", which led the topic to politics again. Did the ancestors of Chinese really come from Africa? The article said: In China's popular science "African origin theory", Li Hui feels that there is still a long way to go. Once on the Internet, he saw a siege of the "African origin theory", "The comments below are basically scolding you traitors for thinking that we are of African origin? There is a man who claims to be an independent scholar who has written many articles to refute it."
This siege of African origins, Li Hui saw, I have never seen. However, Li Hui's tendency to politicize academic issues again is very obvious by taking the theory of popular Science on african origins as the introduction. The siege and insult of scientists of popular Science on african origins as "traitors" is the biggest political event. For Li Hui, this has sublimated from "sensationalism" to "sadness"! Equating scientists with traitors shows how miserable China's academic environment has been, and it is the current "politics" that has caused this bad situation. In the past, Li Hui's mentor and Li Hui could talk as he wanted, but now he refuses to talk about Li Hui, why is this so? Because the political environment has changed, so has the academic environment.
Li Hui is also a master of playing politics. He put the so-called independent scholars wrote a lot of articles to refute and besieged people who called him a traitor, and easily put the independent scholars into the list of the Internet mob, then many articles written by independent scholars to refute, naturally attributed to the mob siege without scientific basis! Who would dare to write an article to refute him in the future? However, doing so also exposes Li Hui's true character of political bulls and the essence of academic peddlers.
According to the interview, I read out the following meanings other than academic:
1. Chinese netizens are mobs that besiege scientists with political views.
2. Not acknowledging African origins is a political issue and falling into racism.
3, people who question the origin of Africa are not scientific literate, do not have the qualifications to question, are political licking dogs.
4. Li Hui's theory of The Origin of Science in China in Africa is regarded as a traitor and cannot freely study and learn.
5. China's scientific research environment has become very bad because of political issues.
Li Hui threw out the ancestors of the Chinese, did they really come from Africa? The purpose is to use the means of academic politicization to stigmatize all those who question the "Origin of Africa" theory, and also use academic politics as a grinding stone to sharpen a sharp knife, and naturally some people take this sharp knife and slash at his stunned politics at any time.
I also want to ask: Li Hui, did the ancestors of Chinese really come from Africa? Is it an academic or political issue?
