The origin of arthropods has long been one ofthe most hotly-debated subjects. Arthropods used to bethought closely related with annelids, but the two groups arenow believed to be separated into two major realms withinProtostomia on the basis of new molecular data. Although itis generally held by paleontologists that arthropods should berooted in the early lobopods-.a kind of worm-like creaturewith non-segmented legs, no intermediate forms have beenfound to bridge them. Here we report an organism with amixture of characters, including features characteristic ofarthropods (e.g., primary cephalization with paired eyes,paired antennae, and preliminary tagmosis) and of lobopods(e.g., worm-like body design, the dorsal spines, andnon-segmented limbs or lobe-like legs). The discovery of therare transitional form may throw new light on the origin ofarthropods and suggests that the most primitive arthropodsbegan with paired uniramous legs and the biramous onesevolved later. 相似文献

One of the most hotly debated and frontal issues in paleoanthropology focuses on the origins of modern humans. Recently, an incomplete hominin mandible with a distinctly weaker mental protuberance than modern human and a great variety of coexisting fossil mammals were unearthed from the Homo sapiens Cave of Mulan Mountain, Chongzuo, Guangxi. The mammalian fauna from the Homo sapiens Cave characterized by the combination of Elephas kiangnanensis, first occurring Elephas maixmus, and Megatapirus augustus, and strikingly different from the Early Pleistocene Gigantopithecus fauna and the Middle Pleistocene Ailuropoda-Stogodon fauna of South China could be regarded as an early representive of the typical Asian elephant fauna. Faunal analysis, biostratigraphic correlation, and, most importantly, U-series dating all consistently support an estimate of ca. 110 ka for the age of the fossil Homo sapiens and coexisting mammalian fauna, that is, the early Late Pleistocene. The fauna is mainly made up of tropical-subtropical elements, but grassland elements have a much greater variety than forest elements, which probably indicates a drier climate at that time. This discovery of early Homo sapiens at the Mulan Mountain will play a significant role in the study of the origin and its environmental background of modern humans. 相似文献

“许昌人”头盖骨的发现,印证了“多地区起源”及人类连续进化附带杂交模式学说的正确性,面对“许昌人”头盖骨,“非洲夏娃说”、“代替说”等不攻自破。“许昌人”不仅可能是北京猿人的后代,同时还应是现代中国人的祖先。同时“许昌人”头盖骨的发现在人类学研究领域对DNA的科学证明提出了严峻挑战。它以事实提醒我们,面对现代人类多源说的实证资料,在人类学、考古学和基因科学诸多学术研究领域里调整学术思路势在必然。 相似文献

毛发是哺乳动物的一个决定性特征,所有哺乳动物身上都有毛发,即便是很多一眼看上去“无毛”的哺乳动物,包括大象、河马、犀牛、鲸鱼、海豚和其他鲸日动物也部分覆盖着很细的短毛发。毛发拥有许多功能,包括保温、第二性征、吸引配偶,保护皮肤、反射和吸收阳光等。 相似文献

Based on AMS 14C dating data, carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses were conducted on mammal bone collagen of deer, cattle and pigs from the Zhongba site in the Three Gorges Reservoir region of the Yangtze River. These analyses were conducted to reconstruct palaeodiets of mammals, palaeoecology, palaeoenviroment and previous human activities in the study area. Results show that the collagen loss of bone did not change the in vivo isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, and most of the bone fossils were well preserved. The bone collagen of samples from deer had a mean δ13C of -23.1‰ and a mean δ15N of 4.7‰, suggesting that deer subsisted in a closed habitat and fed on branches and leaves. The bone collagen of cattle had a mean δ13C of –19.6‰ and a mean δ15N of 5.2‰, which indicates that cattle subsisted in an open habitat and fed on grasses and stems. The δ13C values show that both deer and cattle fed on C3 plants and lived in the same ecosystem, but the t-test results show that deer δ13C and δ15N values were both more negative than those of cattle, indicating that they inhabited different niches. The δ13C and δ15N values of cattle partially overlapped those of deer, suggesting some competition in diets between them. The t-tests show that the δ13C and δ15N values of pigs were more positive than those of cattle and deer, which signifies that pigs occupied a higher trophic level compared to cattle and deer. The wide range of pig δ13C values demonstrates that pig trading had been taking place from early Neolithic Age to late Bronze Age. There were no significant differences in deer δ13C and δ15N values among different archaeological periods, making it clear that climatic, ecological and environmental conditions were kept relatively stable from 2200 to 4200 a BP. This stability may have been responsible for the extensive and complete cultural layers at the Zhongba site. The minimum number of samples required to estimate the mean δ13C values of deer, pigs and cattle are 8, 73 and 16, respectively, and for mean δ15N values of deer, pigs and cattle, the minimum numbers are 4, 5 and 6, respectively. 相似文献
