If there are already extraterrestrial creatures on Earth, how did they come to Earth? In some studies, scientists have found that octopuses are unusual and look very different from Earth creatures, so some scientists believe that octopuses may be extraterrestrial creatures. What's going on?
Octopuses could be alien creatures?
There are countless species of creatures on Earth, each of which is unique, and among so many, there must be a reason why octopuses are able to be considered by scientists as potentially extraterrestrial. In many studies, there is a certain scientific basis for this speculation of scientists, and the octopus may really come from an alien planet.
In terms of appearance, octopuses have eight wrists, so they are also called "octopuses", and they have two rows of suckers on each wrist, which can drag large stones that weigh more than ten or twenty times heavier than themselves, and can also use their flexible wrists and feet to crawl between reefs, rock crevices and seabeds.
In addition to being very flexible and powerful, their wrists and suction cups are also connected to a memory system. The octopus has a very developed nervous system, with 500 million neurons in the brain, and there are 3 hearts and 2 memory systems, one of which is connected to the octopus's sucker, and the other memory system is the memory system of the octopus brain.
Moreover, the octopus is also covered with very sensitive receptors all over its body, which also makes the octopus have a very high IQ and thinking ability far beyond ordinary animals, and is one of the most intelligent species in the world.
In addition, the genome of the octopus is also very large, scientists have found that there are 33,000 groups of genomes of octopuses, although less than our human genomes, but they have many more genomes than many invertebrates. Compared to the genetic sequences of other organisms, the genetic sequences of octopuses are also different, although many organisms have the ability to improve their genetic coding, but octopuses have a stronger ability to improve their genetic coding, and they can also change their nerves well to adapt to the environment even in the face of various extreme environments.
After decoding the octopus's genes, the researchers also found that the octopus also has a set of genes similar to ours in humans, and they can build neural networks.
It is precisely because the octopus is so special and different from most creatures that many scientists believe that the octopus may be a creature from an alien planet.
As for how the octopus came to Earth, scientists believe that it may have been brought by a small celestial body such as a comet. A paper entitled "The Cause of the Cambrian Life Explosion - Earth or Universe?", jointly published by 33 scientists from various countries around the world, said that about 500 million years ago, there were still very few organisms on the earth, and it was very simple, but then suddenly there was a life explosion, and the species became more and more diverse, showing explosive growth, that is, the Cambrian explosion of life. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the vibrant scene we see today has slowly emerged.
At first, scientists did not know why there was an explosive increase in life on Earth 500 million years ago, but after research, they thought that it might be caused by extraterrestrial objects. After those asteroids and comets collided with the earth, some seeds of life were sent to the earth, affecting the evolution of life on the earth, and eventually there was a biological explosion.
In fact, as early as the 70s of the last century, science has proposed that the origin of life on the earth may come from alien planets, that is, these small celestial bodies bring the seeds of life to the earth, and the earth's environment is superior, and these seeds of life that come to the earth will flourish. This is how octopuses may have come to Earth, their fertilized eggs were frozen in comets and asteroids, and they woke up and survived when they came to Earth.
Octopus mating means death
Some netizens may say that since octopuses have come to Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, and their IQ is very high, why haven't they developed a so-called civilized society?
The intelligence of a species does not mean that they will necessarily be able to develop an intelligent civilization, because it will be affected by many factors. One of the factors is that octopuses are actually very short-lived, and they die soon after they have finished spawning.
In the case of a male octopus, for example, the male octopus has a tentacle called a "handover wrist", and unlike other shots, this "handover wrist" has the sperm of an octopus. When they need to mate, the male octopuses use this wrist to communicate genes, and they even keep this wrist in the female octopus. After completing the gene exchange, the male octopus will soon die.
Female octopuses, on the other hand, live longer, and they need to lay eggs and hatch fertilized eggs, but when they find a place to lay eggs, they will not eat anymore and spend all their time incubating fertilized eggs. This means that female octopuses will soon starve to death as well, and in order to live longer, these female octopuses will even eat their own tentacles. Even so, female octopuses don't live long, baby octopuses are not yet born, and their parents have long since died.
Perhaps this is the reason, so these octopuses have no way to pass on experience and knowledge to future generations like we humans, and there is no accumulation and precipitation of experience and technology. Of course, there are many other factors that limit the development of octopuses, such as their small size and the presence of many natural predators. Moreover, the octopus lives in the water, so naturally it cannot use fossil fuels such as oil, nor can it use electricity, and the main reason why we humans have developed so rapidly over the years is that they use these energy.
