Abstract

If you had been born as one of your ancestors who lived seven million years ago, you would have been an ape living in an African forest. This ancestor would also be the ancestor of the chimpanzees and bonobos that still live in African forests. You would have already possessed some of the characteristics that make humans an unusual animal. You would have had a large brain (but not nearly as large as the brain you have now). You would have taken a long time to grow and reach maturity (but not has long as it took you as a human). And, by watching your mother as she foraged and negotiated her social life, you would have gained a head start on learning how to survive in your environment. Your mother wouldn’t have actively tried to teach you, but having her around as a model and protectors would help you learn.
猿类祖先(约700万年前)
如果你和生活在700万年前的祖先一样出生,你可能会是一只生活在非洲森林里的猿猴。这个祖先也可能是仍然生活在非洲森林里的黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩的祖先。你应该已经具备了一些使人类成为不寻常动物的特征。你会有一个很大的大脑(但不会像你现在的大脑那么大)。你需要很长时间才能成长并达到成熟(但不像你作为一个人那样长)。而且,通过观察你的母亲如何觅食和协商她的社交生活,你会在学习如何在你的环境中生存方面获得一个良好的开端。你的母亲不会积极地教你,但有她在身边作为一个榜样和保护者会帮助你学习。
