WIPEOUT

Evolution Was A Hoax

Wipeout is the man-made annihilation of the weak. It is superior to evolution, which masquerades as natural selection.

Part I. Homo Erectus Pekinensis.

On September 1st, 2003, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China promoted a previously unremarkable biologist from Stanford University and member of the Chinese Academy of Science CAS, Professor Dr. Cai Hong, to “Founding Director” of a new International Joint Institute for Computational Genetics and Human Genealogy in Shanghai.

China was to be the host nation, with the United States of America and Germany as equal partners. The official aim of the People's Republic of China was to establish the hoax of “the Peking Man” or homo erectus pekinensis as proof of a parallel Chinese humanity.

The official aim of the United States of America and Germany was to establish the hoax of the “Our-of-Africa theory” that claims there are no races, because all humans could be traced back to ancestors in Africa.

That said, it was understood by all parties from the beginning that this was a bluff for publicity, akin to medicine saying “we are curing cancer” or the military saying “we are arming for peace.”

Technically, this was about scanning as much genetic material of critters and man as possible, and feeding the data into a large computer library, onto which entitled scientists could then log in and apply their mathematical models.

Therefore, what was really researched, only a selected few knew.

The sheer man-power on paper certainly looked aspiring. Over 40 full-time Chinese professors, group leaders, postdocs and junior researchers, let alone close to 100 interns and members of staff, were selected for social ineptness and stupidity, from families of reliable goofs, so they never talked about anything that happened in Xuhui of the Old French Concession in Shanghai.

As to the 30 or so many visa Americans, mostly veteran geneticists, anthropologists and mathematicians, few showed up in Shanghai except for huge anniversary banquets and photo ops, and most did not have the faintest idea what CAS was doing; all they really cared about were visiting professorships, more international mileages and connections to the Academy.

As to the 20 or so Germans who descended upon Shanghai between 2003 and 2012, they eventually found themselves in some form of hyper-colonial disconnect, where they completely segregated from their lower-paid, Mandarin speaking Chinese colleagues during day time, and chased local pillow girls at night.

Interestingly enough, none of those Westerners advanced in their careers after Shanghai, the reason why to which we come in a minute. One guest researcher, however, was queer and seemed rather out of place, a grumpy old French mathematician of Soviet origin and specialist in Combinatorics, Professor Dr. Mikhail Reza.

Part II. The Frenchman.

Reza was already 70 years of age when he arrived in Pudong airport in Shanghai in September 2006. He had been invited by a much younger German patron and fellow mathematician, the rather libertine and loquacious Professor Dr. Alfred D Mantel, whom he met at various conferences in Europe, and last at the 3rd European conference on Combinatorics and Graph Theory held in Berlin in 2005, where Mantel boasted about his Asia credentials and his brand new China co-directorship.

“Shanghai is called Le Paris de l'Orient, and I saw it with my own eyes, Professeur Reza. C'est vrai! - It is true!” He brushed through his long, curly hair, smiling excessively.
