The territory of a group of birds is expanding to the entire world. The latest news is that they have infiltrated the White House.
National Governors of the party this year, when President Obama is full of passion on the podium speech, the South Carolina woman governor Nicky Harry focused their attention on these birds. At that time, the politician secretly opened at the table iPad, the game interface to a bird with a slingshot to play the big green pigs to the opposite.
Harry is currently attracting the most popular computer game, "an angry bird." According to the statistical development of the company, this little game has attracted more than 140 million downloads. Every day, people around the world in the time spent on the game total over 200 million minutes.
This crazy game content to the global sounds simple to the "mentally handicapped." In order to steal the eggs of the green pig revenge, the bird decided to themselves as bombs to attack the enemy. The only task of the player, that is, the bird with a slingshot on the most appropriate point of throwing out.
In this regard, the British zoologist Mark Ridley explained that, from the evolutionary perspective, the angry bird swept the world makes sense.
When the bird was slingshot in the game pops up, along with the "Hui yi -" sound, they will draw a nice parabola, and then hit the target. According to Ridley's point of view, this is the reason people are obsessed with these birds: compared to linear motion, parabolic motion can lead to greater pleasure.
Hunting in the nascent era of throwing ability is one of mankind's survival skills. 8 million years ago, the African continent, our ancestors began by throwing spears and stones to kill their prey, whether it is the small fish swim in the water, or the mammoth size of amazing, is their goal.
In many cases, the extent of the parabolic motion control will determine the abundance of their dinner, but also determines the length of his life. No wonder the scientists found some of Europe's ape hand occupational characteristics of baseball: throwing too diligent, they moved after some of unilateral shoulder.
Accurate throwing is not easy. We need to throw things in the mind may exercise over the trajectory, to find the most accurate throwing angle. We then turned to the shoulders, tighten the shoulder blade, pelvis twisting, bending arms, stretching your fingers, "call out" is heard, the hand throw things out according to the desired angle.
This is a complex series of movements, including the precise coordination, the average animal can not learn them. For example: when the frogs eat mosquitoes, out of the tongue is a straight line; dog is willing to take with us to play Frisbee game, but if it Frisbee throw, I am afraid it is also difficult for a vegetarian; from our closest chimpanzee blood'd occasionally lost some branches and stones, but that action is more like "off", not only lack of strength, accuracy is not guaranteed; As for the bird, even if you can successfully provoke it, it can not be like "an angry bird "looking for you as revenge by the parabolic movement - yes, what kind of birds will not work.
Of course, in nature there are always accidents. Living in Africa, the Egyptian vulture, ostrich eggs to throw stones shatter the hard shells, enjoy a good meal; life archerfish waterfront in Southeast Asia, spit in the air in the water column can always draw a nice parabola, by this line shot will be wet a small insect wings, falling water, as archerfish the meal. However, humans can still get these intelligent animals superiority: even though they can complete the parabolic movement, but they can not be simulated trajectory, find the angle, in fact, they just try their luck again and again nothing more.
In a unique talent, humanity enjoyed a lot of fun. Golfer, said that in the little white ball flying out of a few seconds, your mind will be full of "anxiety and expectation", and successful hit will bring unparalleled pleasure. Think about our ancestors are hungry for a day of food finally found ecstasy, the feeling in fact not difficult to understand.
Until today, we still carried on loving ancestors, enjoying a parabola in life sport. Many are obsessed with baseball, shooting sports, or hit the game beverage cans. Bored at the party shows that when people vent or a parabolic way, for example, the stage performers to throw a tomato, or a few eggs.
No wonder these actions monotonous, simple birds make the world go, let the game development companies have earned pours. In fact, stole the limelight by a few birds do not have very depressed Obama - human evolution in order to practice the skills of survival by temporarily ignoring the president, it is merely minutes, right?
