| 释义 | hominid noun[ C ] biology specializeduk /ˈhɒm.ɪ.nɪd/ us /ˈhɑː.mɪ.nɪd/ a member of a group that consists of humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orang-utangs, or an early form of one of these人类及其祖先 dated(alsohominin) a human, or an early form of human人类;原始人类 Humans, apes & monkeys anthropo- anthropoid ape baboon bonobo great ape hominin homo Homo sapiens human lemur loris macaque mandrill mankind ring-tailed lemur sapient silverback simian spider monkey Examples of hominidhominid However, this unique brain/body coupling in hominids may well have evolved by virtue of selection for increased brain power (and consequently, larger brain size). The agency that drives the guided evolution of these early hominids is an alien artefact in the shape of a black monolith. A significant asset as a first-year introductory text is its coverage of all palaeontology from microfossils to hominids and plants. Another line of thought argues that the massive encephalization of hominids is a unique evolutionary event. In this respect, at least, these early hominids were very ape-like. If any or all of these hominids made and used tools, as modern chimpanzees clearly do, then they have not been preserved. During the first episode, hominids developed the ability to impose shape on artifacts, an ability undocumented for any living apes. Earlier hominids had been largely woodland creatures who focused most of their activity close to standing water. Frequently, researchers have noted the increased cranial capacity of hominids, and inferred increased behavioural flexibility as a direct consequence. The extent to which the gray and dotted lines diverge is a measure of how poorly body size predicts brain size evolution in hominids. Among both cetaceans and hominids their niche construction has generated selection that favoured cultural transmission. They synthesize well complex and difficult controversies about the birthplace of hominids and theses about single or multiple origins of modern humanity. She is the author of over 100 publications that focus on early hominids, brain evolution, comparative neuroanatomy, primate behavior, and cognitive evolution. Again, we would expect hominids to show less adherence to these rules than other mammals. From this followed a brief description of the emergence of australopethicines and hominids, brain evolution, and tool use.
