That is about a million years older than other early known hominins.

这比其他早期已知的原始人年长约一百万年。

This led researchers to believe that other kinds of hominins might have picked up tools too.

这使得研究人员认为，其他种类的古人类可能也学会了制造和使用工具。

Your work is of course on the sequencing of these early hominins.

AS：你的工作当然是对这些早期人类进行测序。

Layers 2, 3, 4, and 7 were found to harbor DNA of ancient hominins.

第 2、3、4 和 7 层被发现含有古代人类的 DNA。

Hominins include Neanderthals, Homo Erectus, Homo sapiens, and the hobbit-like Homo floresiensis.

人科动物包括尼安德特人、直立人、智人和类似霍比特人的弗洛勒斯人。

And we can see that, you know, chimpanzees and early hominins had a small chimp-like gluteus maximus.

我们可以看到，黑猩猩和早期人类有一个像黑猩猩一样的小臀大肌。

So scientists are pretty sure that the hominins found at Mata Menge are the ancestors of Homo floresiensis.

因此，科学家们非常确定在马塔门格发现的古人类是弗洛勒斯人的祖先。

It seems that millions of years ago in Africa, early hominins first transitioned out of trees and adopted a more active lifestyle.

似乎在数百万年前的非洲，早期的古人类从树居转型为活动性较高的地面生活。

It can tell us what cultures and skills they brought with them, and whether those abilities helped them outcompete other species of hominins.

它可以告诉我们他们带来了什么样的文化和技能，以及这些能力是否帮助他们战胜其他人类物种。

It is the resting place of five of the ten known partial skeletons of early hominins, the ancestors of human beings.

它是 10 具已知的早期人科动物（人类的祖先）部分骨骼中的 5 具的安息之地。

On the contrary, Neanderthal genes and those of other ancient hominins persisted in the modern human genome, evidence of how intimately we were entangled.

相反，尼安德特人的基因和其他古代人类的基因仍然存在于现代人类基因组中，这证明了我们之间的关系是多么密切。

The Jebel Irhoud hominins shared the small faces, but their braincases were more elongated than what you would see in people today.

Jebel Irhoud 人种也有小脸，但他们的脑壳比你在今天的人身上看到的要细长。

By 2.6 million years ago, hominins seem to have been eating meat regularly, and they were using stone tools by 3.3 million years ago.

到 260 万年前，古人类似乎已经开始定期吃肉，并且在 330 万年前他们开始使用石器。

He would have found an antelope fossil because, for every one of these early hominins we find, these human ancestor pieces, we find about 250,000 pieces of antelopes.

他一定是找到了一块羚羊化石，因为我们每发现一块早期人科动物的化石，这些人类祖先的碎片，就会发现大约 25 万块羚羊化石。

Whether you consider them recent humans or not, this discovery also suggests that hominins like the Irhoud folks were living all over Africa.

不管你是否认为他们是最近的人类，这一发现也表明像 Irhoud 人这样的古人类曾生活在整个非洲。

During the Stone Age, early hominins were believed to have developed complex forms of social transmission to communicate how to make better tools, tools for our survival.

在石器时代，人们相信早期人类已经发展出复杂的社会传播形式，以传达如何制造更好的工具，以维持我们的生存。

But the side of the mandible that attaches to the upper jaw is thinner than those of archaic hominins and more reminiscent of that of modern humans.

但与上颌相连的下颌骨一侧比古人类的下颌骨更薄，更让人想起现代人类。

Speaking of which, the ancient hominins who made these tools would have had to ask each other for tips on how to make the strongest glue and the sharpest stones.

说到这一点，制造这些工具的古人类就不得不互相请教，如何制造最坚固的胶水和最锋利的石头。

Earlier thinking had modern humans arising in a rapid evolutionary event 200,000 years ago, taking place somewhere in East Africa, in which our faces and braincases both changed from ancestral hominins.

较早的想法认为，现代人类起源于 20 万年前的一次快速进化事件，发生在东非某处，我们的面孔和脑壳都从祖先的人类进化而来。

In two papers published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, two teams of researchers announced that they’d discovered the fossilized remains of at least three tiny hominins on the isolated island of Flores, Indonesia.

在周三发表在《自然》杂志上的两篇论文中，两组研究人员宣布， 他们在印度尼西亚弗洛勒斯岛的孤立岛屿上发现了至少三具小型古人类的化石遗骸。
