Insights from a One-Million-Year-Old Asian Skull
kē xué jiā科学家yòng用xīn jì shù新技术xiū fù修复le了yí gè一个zài在hú běi湖北fā xiàn发现de的gǔ lǎo古老rén lèi人类tóu gǔ头骨 ，zhè ge这个tóu gǔ头骨dà yuē大约yǒu有yī一bǎi wàn百万nián年de的lì shǐ历史 。
Scientists used new technology to restore an ancient human skull found in Hubei, which is about one million years old.
tōng guò通过gāo kē jì高科技sǎo miáo扫描hé和bǐ duì比对 ，yán jiū rén yuán研究人员fā xiàn发现zhè ge这个tóu gǔ头骨hé和yǐ qián以前rèn wéi认为de的rén lèi人类zǔ xiān祖先yǒu xiē有些bù tóng不同 。
Through high-tech scanning and comparison, researchers found that this skull is somewhat different from previously believed human ancestors.
tā它de的tóu gǔ头骨xíng zhuàng形状hé和nǎo脑róng liàng容量dōu都hěn很tè bié特别 ，hé和yǐ zhī已知de的zhí lì rén直立人bù不yī yàng一样 ，gèng更jiē jìn接近yī zhǒng一种jiào叫lóng rén龙人huò或dān ní suǒ wǎ rén丹尼索瓦人de的gǔ rén lèi古人类 。
Its skull shape and brain capacity are very special, different from the known Homo erectus, and closer to an ancient human called the Denisovan or 'Dragon Man'.
zhè这shuō míng说明rén lèi人类de的jìn huà进化bú shì不是yī一tiáo条zhí xiàn直线 ，ér shì而是yǒu有hěn很duō多fēn zhī分支 。
This shows that human evolution is not a straight line but has many branches.
suī rán虽然wǒ men我们hái还méi yǒu没有zhǎo dào找到tā它de的 DNA ，dàn但zhè ge这个fā xiàn发现ràng让wǒ men我们zhī dào知道 ，yà zhōu亚洲zài在gǔ dài古代rén lèi人类jìn huà进化zhōng中yě也hěn很zhòng yào重要 。
Although we have not yet found its DNA, this discovery tells us that Asia was also important in ancient human evolution.
kē xué jiā科学家rèn wéi认为 ，rén lèi人类de的zǔ xiān祖先zhǔ yào主要lái zì来自fēi zhōu非洲 ，dàn但yà zhōu亚洲yě也yǒu有zì jǐ自己de的gǔ lǎo古老rén lèi人类fēn zhī分支 。
Scientists believe that human ancestors mainly came from Africa, but Asia also had its own ancient human branches.
zhè ge这个tóu gǔ头骨ràng让wǒ men我们míng bái明白 ，rén lèi人类de的lì shǐ历史bǐ比wǒ men我们xiǎng xiàng想象de的gèng更fù zá复杂 ，yě也gèng更fēng fù丰富 。
This skull helps us understand that human history is more complex and richer than we imagined.
wǒ men我们yào要yòng用kāi fàng开放de的xīn tài心态qù去liǎo jiě了解guò qù过去 ，bù duàn不断xué xí学习xīn新de的zhī shí知识 。
We should approach the past with an open mind and continuously learn new knowledge.
