你一定听说过克里斯多弗·哥伦布,也一定看过北欧海盗的故事。可是究竟是谁第一次航海?根据一位考古学家激进的新理论,航海史上的第一位水手还算不上人类。 罗伯特.贝德纳瑞克认为第一个造船航海的并不是我们人类--智人,而是人类的祖先--直立人。他们是类人种,存在于智人之前。与人类相比,他们的大脑稍小、头颅较长、前额较低。 如果贝德纳瑞克的理论是正确的,那么航海史就不再是始于40000年前,而是更早的800000年前,即类人猿从巴厘岛迁徙到印度尼西亚岛的时候。
You must have heard of Christopher Columbus and must have seen the story of the Vikings. But who was the first to sail? According to a radical new theory of an archeologist, the first seaman in the history of navigation is still not human. Robert Bednerick believes that it is not our humanity-sapiens but the human ancestors-Homo erectus. They are humanoids and exist before Homo sapiens. Compared to humans, their brains are smaller, their heads are longer, and their foreheads are lower. If Bednarik’s theory is correct, then the history of navigation no longer begins 40,000 years ago, but earlier 800,000 years ago, when humanoids migrate from Bali to Indonesia.
