化石牙齿显示早期人类祖先的成长阶段延长了,对进化提出了挑战性的看法。 Fossil tooth reveals early human ancestors had an extended growth phase, challenging views on evolution.

来自格鲁吉亚的1.77亿年古老的化石牙表明,早期人类祖先有一个独特的老龄化过程,将象猿一样的早期成熟与像人类一样的延迟发育结合起来。 A 1.77-million-year-old fossil tooth from Georgia reveals that early human ancestors had a unique aging process, combining ape-like early maturity with human-like delayed development. 这表明早期同族物种的生长期延长了,挑战了过去关于30万年前才形成更长童年的观念。 This suggests that early Homo species had an extended growth phase, challenging previous beliefs that longer childhoods only developed around 300,000 years ago. 这项研究利用先进的成像技术分析牙齿的生长模式,使人们深入了解人类的进化。 The study used advanced imaging techniques to analyze the tooth's growth patterns, offering insights into human evolution.
