The Hominids的意思|示意

"Sometimes one sees writers just standing before it, like early hominids in front of a monolith," said Nick Denton, Gawker Media's founder. Mr. Denton said not all writers have warmed to the concept.

“有时有人会注意到作者们只是站在它面前，犹如原始人类站在巨石前一样，”高科传媒的创始人尼克·丹顿说。

Perhaps 20 or more hominids (not all of them ourancestors) fill the gap between Lucy the australopithecine and modernhumans.

现代人和古露西猿人（Lucy the australopithecine）之间的空白则有大约20多种原始人来填补（并非所有都是我们的最先）。

That proved bipedalism did not evolve on the savannah, but since hair does not fossilise, it is hard to establish when the hominids began to lose it.

这证明，两足动物的演化史并不是在大草原上进行的。但是，由于毛发不会变成化石，因此很难确定原始人类在什么时候开始失去毛发。

Hominids are all the Neanderthals, australopithecines, Homo habili, Homo erecti, etc., the upright-walking apes of which we are the only surviving species.

原始人类是指所有的穴居人，古猿，智人，直立行走的类人猿等，而我们是唯一幸存的类人猿物种。

John Thorbjarnarson knew he could not end men's fear of crocodilians, hard-wired since hominids first ventured down from the trees into swamps that seethed with them.

约翰•瑟布贾纳森知道，自人类首次冒险从树上直接落入鳄鱼渲腾的沼泽中以来，他不可能终结人们对鳄鱼的恐惧。

This drove these hominids to become better meme machines and to carry the (potentially huge and even dangerous) burden of larger brain size and energy use, eventually becoming symbiotic.

这种竞争驱使原始人变成更好的媒母机器并花费(可能非常巨大甚至是危险)更多的脑容量负载和能量，最终变成一种互惠共生关系。
