Not long ago, a Stone Age rock painting with strangely shaped creatures was discovered in Australia. Archaeologists call them human-animal hybrids and believe that the petroglyphs are sketches of ancient "painters."
They are neighbors with humans
Recently, a strange story shocked the world. Bohr and Tacon rock art experts at the Australian Museum and anthropologists Christopher and Chippondale at the University of Cambridge both believe that hybrids existed early in civilization, including half-man, half-horse, who may have been neighbors of primitive humans.
In Australia and South Africa, they found not only petroglyphs of headed animals more than 32,000 years ago, but also petroglyphs with human heads, and conducted the world's first and most detailed study of these peculiar petroglyphs. The scientists carefully studied nearly 5,000 rock paintings of human ancestors, systematically combed through the frequency of their occurrence and the types of mixed paintings, and determined their age. In the end, they came to the conclusion that "there were indeed humans and beasts in ancient times", because primitive people could not have drawn things that they had never seen.
They are all addicted to alcohol
There are also episodes in ancient Greek and Roman mythology that are not about humans and animals, and more often refer to centaurs. The upper body of this animal is a human, and the lower body is a horse or other animals like cows, donkeys, sheep and even goats The word kentauros is also a compound word, ken (from kenw) means "I will kill" and tauros means "cow", which is related to ancient astronomical knowledge. Whenever the constellation Sagittarius (half-human, half-horse in shooting stance) appears in the night sky, the constellation Taurus (one of the symbols of the sun) disappears.
According to ancient Greek legend, half-man and half-horse came down from the Greek mountains, where they had a tense relationship with the local population. Because half-man and half-horse are addicted to alcohol, they are extremely angry and have clashed with humans more than once.
Shepherds are a curse?
Someone asked the mythological expert and deputy historian Alexander Guryev, where did man and animal come from?
Guriev's answer was that in ancient times, many peoples considered themselves descendants of animals. For example, the ancient Western Regions people believed that monkeys were their ancestors, some people in the Indian peninsula believed that their ancestors were horses, and some countries in Southeast Asia believed that dogs were their ancestors.
There are also some very weird legends. For example, an ancient Greek myth says that Zeus, the ruler of gods and men, turned into a serpent that seduced Olympia, the daughter of the Macedonian king, and gave birth to the future great conqueror of Macedonia, Alexander.
There are also some very strange legends. For example, there is an ancient Greek myth that the serpent transformed by Zeus, the co-lord of man and god, seduced Olympia, the daughter of the Macedonian king, and gave birth to Alexander, the future great conqueror of Macedonia.
In short, if you believe some ancient documents, then ancient Greece and Rome are inseparable from half-man and half-beast. There is a story that the Greek scientist Tallis once persuaded his master White Lind not to give his horse to an unmarried shepherd for grazing, lest he give birth to something that is half human and half horse. The Roman satirist Giuvinalis once wrote that Roman women often seduced animals. In fact, in ancient Egypt, the content of such stories showed the worship of animal fertility by humans, and it was also one of the contents of the sacrifice of fertility at that time.
Bizarre record
There are indeed some interesting bad records of half-man and half-beast.
There were also serious scientists, such as Balassesus and Cardano, and the famous Italian surgeon of the 16th century. They have documented several cases of wild animals giving birth to children, including horses, elephants, dogs and even lions. Of course, this is just a story, and serious scientists don't take it seriously.
Is it possible to cross humans and animals?
Alexander Guryev was asked; Is it possible for humans and animals to interbreed?
Scientist: In the past, the scientific community firmly denied this possibility, but recently some serious professional journals began to publish some experimental reports about geneticists, saying that they have successfully cultivated so-called chimeras in test tubes, which means that some of them are human cells, and some of them are wild animal cells, such as the embryos of mice, sheep, monkeys... By the way, in the opinion of geneticists, humans are only a few percentage points different from these animals. He believes that although there are very few, there will always be spontaneous mutations. No one dares to say that humans have always had this mutation in history, because scientists have never done general genetic analysis.
In the medical literature of the 19th~20th century, many examples of giving birth to humans and animals can also be found. For example, the famous theologian Cetrel asserted in 1940 that the so-called deformed man was most likely the result of a hybrid between man and a beast.
Of course, there is no direct evidence, but it just provides people with an after-dinner topic, which is not true.
