答案与解析
A Even people who accept the fact that man is just another type of animal still believe that we are special because we are the only animal of which there is only one species;all other animals exist in sever- al——sometimes hundreds of——species. But scientists have long known that the evolution of a successful animal species almost always involves trial and error, false starts and failed experiments. The human race is no exception. At just about any given moment in prehistory, our family tree included several species of hominids——erect, upright-walking primates. All were competitors in an evolutionary struggle from which only one would ultimately emerge. While we would find it bizarre to share the world with another human species, the fact that we have been alone since the Neanderthals vanished some 30,000 years ago is an evolutionary aberration.
B Experts have identified several key transitions in our evolutionary chronicle. The first, which took place around the time we diverged from the apes, between six million and four million years ago, was the develop- ment of bimetalism——two-legged walking rather than locomotion using the arms, legs and tail, which charac- terizes the monkeys. The second, which occurred perhaps 2. 5 million years ago, was the invention of tool- making——the purposeful crafting of stone implements rather than just picking up handy rocks. This led to the transition to meat eating, as tools made it easier to kill and slice up game. Then, sometime between two mil- lion and one million years ago, came the dramatic growth of the brain and our ancestors first emergence from Africa. Finally, just a few tens of thousands of years ago, our own species learned to use that powerful organ for abstract thought, which quickly led to art, music, language and all the other skills that have enthroned humans as the unchallenged rulers of their planet.
C Scientists have calculated that the great apes and hominids branched from a common ancestor be- tween six million and four million years ago. The technique the experts used was to measure the differ- ences between human and chimpanzee DNA, then averaging the rate of genetic change over time and counting backwards. This, however, remained speculation until the mid-1990s, because it was only then that actual fossils of hominids dating to the period of the sp
it were discovered, in Ethiopia and Kenya. Teams working in these countries announced that they had each found a new species of homi- nid, and both discoveries smashed the four-million-year barrier. All told, the scientists excavated the bones and teeth of 17 individuals. Given their age, no one was surprised that they showed a mix of chimpanzee-like and human traits. But the finds clearly show that these creatures were hominids and not apes, as they display evidence of the first two primary advances that mark the emergence of man from the animal kingdom.
