 ::每日一图:: 

A wall relief from the fifth-century Tomb of Ti in Saqqara, Egypt, depicts kneeling scribes counting grains of wheat, and, above them, bakers mixing vessels of dough. Hieroglyphs, or picture symbols, were probably developed to add detailed information, such as time, place, and identity, to existing pictorial representations. bNf中国英语学习网

Ancient Little People 古代侏儒的骸骨 bNf中国英语学习网

Scientists from a South African university have found evidence of a population of what they say were small-bodied modern humans on an island of Palau, east of the Philippines. bNf中国英语学习网

Lee Berger has spent his professional life searching for evidence of mankind's past. He is a paleo-anthropologist who with some help from National Geographic has been studying and searching for the fossil remains of our ancestors for nearly 20 years. bNf中国英语学习网
He has done most of his work in Africa, but it was during a vacation stop in Palau, and a walk through one of the many caves in this area that he literally stumbled upon what could be a history-making find.bNf中国英语学习网
''You see that, this is just packed full of buff, I mean you can actually see there are still some naturally exposed here. But what was cool here is we had a whole skull here.''bNf中国英语学习网
Berger thinks these bones may be the remains of some of the earliest humans ever to populate these islands. Previous estimates date the earliest human habitation to about 29 hundred years ago, but all these bones existed above something called a flowstone. A flowstone is a common occurrence in caves where mineral-rich water flowing over the ground hardens in the stone. All of Berger’s previous digging was another flowstone that dated back about 29 hundred years. Today he's returned and is going to break through the flowstone to see if there are bones underneath. ''We are hoping that flowstone and consolidated sandstone took at least a few hundred years to form maybe longer than that. Hope is that these dates are gonna come out over the three-thousand-year mark.''bNf中国英语学习网
He finds no shortage of bone underneath the flowstone including a tooth and a piece of cranium. But what these bones begin to tell Berger has far-reaching implications beyond the dating. The bones that Berger has found has some very unusual characteristics, a reduced chin, large teeth and what might be a small brain-size, leading Berger to reconsider his notion of what humans can look like. bNf中国英语学习网
''That’s nice. We have found this small island population with all of these characters and that appears to be human that is pushing the published boundaries of human variation.'' bNf中国英语学习网
It might also have some implications for another set of bones found in the region, those of the tiny human that researchers dubbed ''the hobbit''. Its scientific name is Homo Floresiensis. And the researchers including Dean Falk from the University of Florida say it is so unique, it should be a separate species of human. The controversy of the hobbit is ongoing, but Berger’s finding let him to believe that Flores might not be a separate species.bNf中国英语学习网
''...and also making me personally consider my understanding of what is normal even variation. bNf中国英语学习网
Berger’s published a paper suggesting the bones are amazing because they show the incredible range of humans, in regards to size and shape. This new understanding of the potential of human variation might make us reconsider just how different the hobbits really are. The controversies will continue, but in the meantime, Berger will return. bNf中国英语学习网
''What has struck me on this second scientific visit is how phenomenally little research has been done on these islands. ''bNf中国英语学习网
But Berger hopes to personally change that in the coming years, as he makes his way back to Palau, to continue his search for answers to our past.

《I Miss U》--朋友各自在路上

Nikki Cleary (born May 11, 1988 as Brittney Nicole Cleary) is a pop-rock singer who was born in [[Albany, New York.

Cleary first hit the pop market with the catchy song "I.M. Me" while still using her given name. Her debut album, Everything I Wished For, was released independently under the Free Falls record label in 2002 after two years of recording. The album hit #45 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. When Cleary signed with Jive Records in the summer of 2002, they asked to change her name because they already had a Britney on their roster. Her self-titled album, Nikki Cleary was released in the summer of 2003 with the hit single "1-2-3" making noise on Billboard's Radio Disney Top 30.bNf中国英语学习网

She was featured on a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards record in 2003. She also performed on Nickelodeon's "All That." Cleary also did a version of "Summertime Guys". She contributed to the Mean Girls motion picture soundtrack with the song "Hated".bNf中国英语学习网
