由第一段中的“DNA from fossils (化石) has transformed the study of human and animal evolution, revealing unknown relationships, tracing early migrations, and exposing ancient inter-species mating. (来自化石的DNA改变了人类和动物进化的研究,揭示了未知的关系,追踪了早期迁徙,并揭示了古代物种间的交配)”...
After a while, some fossilized species stopped showing up, suggesting that those species went extinct. Scientists date one such event to 65 million years ago and suggest that a giant meteorite crashed into Earth and killed many of the species. Fossil records also exist for the species that surv...

2014 Dean Falk.Interpreting sulci on hominin endocasts: old hypotheses and new findings.Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Hominin paleoneurologists are scientists who investigate brain evolution by studying the fossil record of early human ancestors. How, you might wonder, can one learn about the evolu...

Fossils discovered east of Africa's Lake Turkana confirm that there were two additional species of our genus—Homo—living alongside our direct human ancestral species, Homo erectus, almost two million years ago. The finds, announced in the journal Natur
