Hominids

基本解释

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。
But she did not explain why the equally sweaty patas monkey did not lose its hair in the same environment, nor how the hominids could have drunk so much in a hot, dry landscape.
但她无法解释为什么在相同环境中流汗量相当的赤猴却未失去体毛，以及原始人类在炎热、干燥的环境中是怎么喝下如此多的水的。

This suggests that hominids may have had the potential to speak for quite some time.
