英文原文阅读: | This analysis investigates the ancestry of a single modern human specimen from Australia. Evaluating its ancestry is important to our understanding of modern human origins in Australasia because the prevailing models of human origins make different predictions for the ancestry of this specimen, and others like it. Some authors believe in the validity of a complete replacement theory and propose that modern humans in Australasia descended solely from earlier modern human populations found in Late Pleistocene Africa and the Levant. These ancestral modern populations are believed to have completely replaced other archaic human populations, including the Ngandong hominids of Indonesia. According to this recent African origin theory, the archaic humans from Indonesia are classified as Homo erectus, a different evolutionary species that could not have contributed to the ancestry of modern Australasians. Therefore this theory of complete replacement makes clear predictions concerning the ancestry of the specimen WLH-50. We tested these predictions using two methods: a discriminated analysis of metric data for three samples that are potential ancestors and a pair wise difference analysis of nonmetric data for individuals within these samples. The results of these procedures provide an unambiguous refutation of a model of complete replacement within this region, and indicate that the Ngandong hominids or a population like them may have contributed significantly to the ancestry of WLH-50. We therefore contend that Ngandong hominids should be classified within the evolutionary species, Homo sapiens. The Multiregional model of human evolution has the expectation that Australasian ancestry is in all three of the potentially ancestral groups and best explains modern Australasian origins. |

题型难度分析: | 本篇文章还是以配对题作为主打题型,此外判断题是近一个季度考试中的主导题型,总体难度相对而言较高。 |
题型技巧分析: | 配对题建议放在最后做,因为相对来说,难度较高,耗时较多,为了避免影响做题时间,先做判断题。配对题重点是关键词的选取和对关键词有可能做的同意替换的预测,而且要注意题目中是否有NB出现。如果有NB,则答案很有可能有一个字母用到两次。没有NB,一般来说不会有重复选项。 判断题注意平时练习中对考点词的记忆和敏感,有的放矢,有针对性的去原文check题目的题点。 多选题建议放在最后做,相对而言,它比其他题型在原文的跨度大 |
