The first apes evlved 20 millin years ag in the frests where they wuld g up a tree t get their fd, and then cme back dwn t mve n t the next tree. Getting ut f a tree presents all kinds f new challenges. Big apes can’t affrd t fall because it culd kill r badly injure them. Natural selectin wuld have favred thse with bdy structures that allwed them t descend safely.
Dartmuth researchers reprt in the jurnal Ryal Sciety Open Science that apes prbably evlved free-mving shulders and flexible elbws t slw their descent frm trees as gravity pulled n their heavier bdies. These flexible bdy parts passed n frm ancestral apes wuld have allwed early humans t climb trees at night fr safety and cmedwn in the daylight unhurt. When early humans transitined frm frests t pen savannas (热带稀树草原), flexible shulders and elbws were crucial fr gathering fd and using tls fr hunting and defense.
The researchers used sprts analysis and statistical sftware t study hw primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small mnkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. They fund that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shulders and elbws mstly bent(bend) clse t the bdy. When descending, hwever, chimpanzees extended their arms abve their heads t hld n t branches, much like a persn using a ladder, t cunteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them dwnward.
Luke Fannin, the lead authr f the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the imprtance f “dwn climbing” in the evlutin f apes and early humans. He explained, “Our research intrduces the idea that dwn climbing played a significant rle in shaping the structural differences between mnkeys and apes, which eventually manifested in humans.”
“Our field has thught abut apes climbing up trees fr a lng time, but we’ve been ignring the secnd half f this behavir,” said Prfessr Jeremy DeSilva, “The findings are amng the first t identify the significance f “dwn climbing” in the evlutin f apes and early humans.
12. Accrding t paragraph 1, apes wuld have been favred by natural selectin if .
A. they have sufficient fd resurces.
B. they cme dwn frm trees securely.
C. they master skills f climbing up trees.
D. they cure themselves when they’re injured.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The similarity f tw primates in tree climbing
B. The evlutin f tw primates’ adaptatin t nature.
C. The analysis f primates’ tree scaling and descending
D. The applicatin f different research methds and tls.
14. Which f the fllwing statement might DeSilva agree with?
A. Descending trees has been neglected by researchers fr a lng time.
B. The study is the first t recgnize the significance f dwn climbing
C. The evlutin f apes and early humans is a result f dwn climbing.
D. Studies n climbing dwn trees are mre likely t have new findings.
15. What is the best title f the passage?
A. Chimpanzees and Mangabeys: Researches in Natural Settings
B. Apes and Humans: A Cmparative Study f Climbing up Trees
C. Shulders and Elbws: Evlved as Brakes fr Dwnclimbing Apes
D. Apes’ Climbing Strategies: Hw t Use Different Bdy Parts Flexibly
