前言
Scientists have long used genetic and archaeological evidence to determine the earlymigration of the human race. By studying bones, tools, and other fragments, scientistshave been able to trace to some extent how early humans migrated to Europe and CentralAsia from Africa. The archaeological find at Kostenski, a group of twenty-five upperPaleolithic sites on the Don River in Russia have revealed tools and implements dated42,000 to 45,000 years old. The discovery and subsequent analysis of a South Africanskull found several decades ago led some anthropologists to confirm that migration toEurasia took place between 65,000 and 25,000 years ago and that migration to Europefrom 45,000 to 35,000 years ago.Genetic studies have served to more accurately determine the routes that the migrationfrom Africa took. Modern humans, or bipedal primates belong to the mammalian speciesand possess a highly developed brain with the capacity to reason, introspect, anddevelop and use languages. They first lived in East Africas Great Rift Valley that runsthrough Kenya and Ethiopia. From this area, early Homo sapiens migrated toward theMiddle East and Europe, reaching as far as Russia, as verified by the African skull. At thetime one group of modern humans were making their way across Europe and thriving inspite of the bitter cold, another group pushed down toward the very tip of Asia. Someof them settled in the islands of Southeast Asia. Movement toward Australia took place40,000 years ago. Those that moved northeastward to Siberia crossed the Bering LandBridge to populate North America about 13,500 years ago.

章節(jié)摘錄
Animal communication is very similar to that of humans insome ways. It can be vocal, visual, or tactile. Some animalsuse chemicals to communicate, which humans are virtuallyincapable of. Animal "language" is obviously not as complexas the human language, yet only a few species do have anetwork of communication that is both comprehensive andfar-reaching. One such species is the elephant. Elephantsuse a sophisticated system made up of all four forms ofcommunication.Research into elephant communication has made certainconclusions as to the reasons for the complexity. The socialsystem of elephants is unusually intricate, necessitating amore complex level of communication. A hierarchy doesnot exist; however, there is a social structure where certainmembers of the group communicate with each other. Theyappear to cooperate with a leader, who has been observedto be the matriarch. Physically, the brain of the elephant islarge enough to allow the animals to have more complexthoughts and a greater capacity for the storage of memories.Finally, elephants have a longer lifespan and have collectedenough knowledge about life and their surroundings.
