Into Africa – the human ancestors from Asia
The human family tree may not have taken root in Africa after all, claim scientists, after finding that its ancestors may have travelled from Asia.
While it is widely accepted that man evolved in Africa, in fact its immediate predecessors may have政治教育 colonid the continent after developing elwhere, the study says.
The claims are made after a team unearthed the fossils of anthropoids – the primate group that includes humans, apes and monkeys – in Libya's Dur At-Talah.
Paleontologists found that amongst the 39 million year old fossils there were three distinct families of anthropoid primates, all of whom lived in the area at approximately the same time.

This could either suggest a huge gap in Africa's fossil record – 表白的歌unlikely, say the scientists, given the amount of archaeological work undertaken in the area – or that the species "colonid" Africa from another continent at this time.
Since diversification would have occurred over extreme lengths of time, and likely leave fossil evidence, the new fossils combined with previous sampling in North Africa leads the paper's authors to surmi an Asian origin for anthropoids.
An international team of paleontologists suggests that anthropoids,the primate group which includes humans, apes, and monkeys, migrated into Africa rather than originally evolving in Africa as has been widely accepted. They say the new fossil discoveries suggest that anthropoids underwent diversification, through evolution, prior to the time of the newly discovered fossils, which date to 39 million years ago.
"If our ideas are correct, this early colonization of Africa by anthropoids was a truly pivotal event—one of the key points in our evolutionary history," says Christopher Beard, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at Carnegie Muum of Natural History and an author on the paper. "
At the time, Africa was an island continent; when the anthropoids appeared, there was nothing on that island that could compete with them. It led to a period of flourishing evolutionary divergence amongst anthropoids, and one of tho lineages resulted in humans. If our early anthropoid ancestors had not succeeded in migrating from Asia to Africa, we simply wouldn't exist."
"This extraordinary new fossil site in Libya shows us that in the middle Eocene, 39 million years ago, there was a surprising diversity of anthropoids living in Africa, whereas few if any anthropoids are known from Africa before this time," says Beard. "This sudden appearance of such diversity suggests that the anthropoids probably colonized Africa from somewhere el. Without earlier fossil evidence in Africa, we're currently looking to
Asia as the place where the animals first evolved."

Gordon Murray, left, and his co-author, Dan Goldie, in Burlingame, Calif. Mr. Murray has a form of brain cancer.立秋节

三从四德
There are no one-handed push-ups or headstands on the yoga mat for Gordon Murray anymore.
No more playing bridge, either — he jokingly accus his brain surgeon of robbing him of the gray matter that contained all the bidding strategy.
But when Mr. Murray, a former bond salesman for Goldman Sachs who ro to the managing director level at both Lehman Brothers and Credit Suis First Boston, decided to cea all treatment five months ago for his glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, his first impul was not to mourn what he couldn’t do anymore or to buy an island or to move to Paris. Instead, he hunkered down in his tiny home office here and channeled whatever remaining energy he could muster into a slim paperback. It’s called “The Investment Answer,” and he wrote it with his friend and financial advir Daniel Goldie to explain investing in a handful of simple steps.
Why a book? And why this subject? Nine years ago, after retiring from 25 years of pushing bonds on pension and mutual fund managers trying to beat the market averages
over long periods of time, Mr. Murray had an epiphany about the futility of his former customers’ pursuits.
He eventually went to work as a consultant for Dimensional Fund Advisors, a mutual fund company that rails against active money management. So when his death ntence arrived, Mr. Murray knew he had to work quickly and resolved to get the word out to as many everyday investors as he could.
“This is one of the true benefits of having a brain tumor,” Mr. Murray said, laughing. “Everyone wants to hear what you have to say.”
He and Mr. Goldie have managed to beat the clock, finishing and printing the book themlves while Mr. Murray is still alive. It is plenty uful for anyone who isn’t already investing in a collection of index or similar funds and dutifully rebalancing every so often.
