单选题 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions
27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below. Our
ancestor, Homo erectus, may not have had culture or even language, but did they
have teenagers? That question has been contested in the past few years, with
some anthropologists claiming evidence of an adolescent phase in human fossil.
This is not merely an academic debate. Humans today are the only animals on
Earth to have a teenage phase, yet we have very little idea why. Establishing
exactly when adolescence first evolved and finding out what sorts of changes in
our bodies and lifestyles it was associated with could help us understand its
purpose. Why do we, uniquely, have a growth spurt so late in life?
Until recently, the dominant explanation was that physical growth is
delayed by our need to grow large brains and to learn all the behaviour patterns
associated with humanity - speaking, social interaction and so on. While such
behaviour is still developing, humans cannot easily fend for themselves, so it
is best to stay small and look youthful. That way your parents and other members
of the social group are motivated to continue looking after you. What's more,
studies of mammals show a strong relationship between brain size and the rate of
development, with larger-brained animals taking longer to reach adulthood.
Humans are at the far end of this spectrum. If this theory is correct, and the
development of large brains accounts for the teenage growth spurt, the origin of
adolescence should have been with the evolution of our own species (Homo
sapiens) and Neanderthals, starting almost 200,000 years ago. The trouble is,
some of the fossil evidence seems to tell a different story.
The human fossil record is extremely sparse, and the number of fossilised
children minuscule. Nevertheless, in the past few years anthropologists have
begun to look at what can be learned of the lives of our ancestors from these
youngsters. One of the most studied is the famous Turkana boy, an almost
complete skeleton of Homo erectus from 1.6 million years ago found in Kenya in
1984.Accurately assessing how old someone is from their skeleton is a tricky
business. Even with a modern human, you can only make a rough estimate based on
the developmental stage of teeth and bones and the skeleton's general
size. You need as many developmental markers as possible to get
an estimate of age. The Turkana boy's teeth made him 10 or 11 years old. The
features of his skeleton put him at 13, but he was as tall as a modern
15-year-old. Susan Anton of New York University points to research by Margaret
Clegg who studied a collection of 18th- and 19th-century skeletons whose ages at
death were known. When she tried to age the skeletons without checking the
records, she found similar discrepancies to those of the Turkana boy. One
10-year-old boy, for example, had a dental age of 9, the skeleton of a
6-year-old but was tall enough to be 11 .'The Turkana kid still has a rounded
skull, and needs more growth to reach the adult shape,' Anton adds. She thinks
that Homo erectus had already developed modern human patterns of growth, with a
late, if not quite so extreme, adolescent spurt. She believes Turkana boy was
just about to enter it. If Anton is right, that theory
contradicts the orthodox idea linking late growth with development of a large
brain .Anthropologist Steven Leigh from the University of Illinois goes further.
He believes the idea of adolescence as catch-up growth does not explain why the
growth rate increases so dramatically. He says that many apes have growth spurts
in particular body regions that are associated with reaching maturity, and this
makes sense because by timing the short but crucial spells of maturation to
coincide with the seasons when food is plentiful, they minimise the risk of
being without adequate food supplies while growing. What makes humans unique is
that the whole skeleton is involved. For Leigh, this is the key. According to
his theory, adolescence evolved as an integral part of efficient upright
locomotion, as well as to accommodate more complex brains. Fossil evidence
suggests that our ancestors first walked on two legs six million years ago. If
proficient walking was important for survival, perhaps the teenage growth spurt
has very ancient origins. While many anthropologists will consider Leigh's
theory a step too far, he is not the only one with new ideas about the evolution
of teenagers. Another approach, which has produced a surprising
result, relies on the minute analysis of tooth growth. Every nine days or so the
growing teeth of both apes and humans acquire ridges on their enamel surface.
These are like rings in a tree trunk: the number of them tells you how long the
crown of a tooth took to form. Across mammals, the rate at which teeth develop
is closely related to how fast the brain grows and the age you mature. Teeth are
good indicators of life history because their growth is less related to the
environment and nutrition than is the growth of the skeleton. A
more decisive piece of evidence came last year, when researchers in France and
Spain published their findings from a study of Neanderthal teeth. Neanderthals
had much faster tooth growth than Homo erectus who went before them, and hence,
possibly, a shorter childhood. Lead researcher Fernando Ramirez-Rozzi thinks
Neanderthals died young - about 25 years old - primarily because of the cold,
harsh environment they had to endure in glacial Europe. They evolved to grow up
quicker than their immediate ancestors. Neanderthals and Homo erectus probably
had to reach adulthood fairly quickly, without delaying for an adolescent growth
spurt. So it still looks as though we are the original teenagers.
