University of California , Los Angeles , paleobiologist , Bill Schopf , studies the oldest fossils on earth.

洛杉矶加利弗尼亚大学的古生物学家比尔肖普夫研究了地球上最古老的化石。

Until now, the assumption has been that most feathers were colonised by bacteria before they were fossilised.

在此之前的假设认为，大部分的羽毛在成为化石之前已经有细菌定殖，古生物学家看到的是羽毛腐烂前留在泥土中的印记和细菌残体的复合体。

Evolutionists cannot point to any transitional fossils--creatures that are half reptile and half bird, for instance.

进化学家们不能指出任何过渡化石——比如，半爬虫类半鸟类的生物。

Davidson Black is the anatomist and anthropologist of Canada. In 1919, he came to China. He had a cooperation with Andersson and etc. and made a survey, collection and research of Shaguotun, Yangshao and others' skeletons. In 1926, the discovery of the fossil of the human tooth in Zhoukoudian made him have a deep touch with Zhoukoudian. Later, he began to organize Zhoukoudian's excavation and research works, name it as "Sinanthropus pekinensis" and make some relevant research.

步达生是加拿大解剖学家与人类学家。1919年来到中国，他与安特生等合作，调查、收集与研究了沙锅屯、仰韶等地的人骨材料。1926年周口店人类牙齿化石的发现使他与周口店结下不解之缘，从此他组织领导了周口店的发掘研究工作，正式命名&北京人&，参与相关课题的研究。

The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists for more than two centuries.

第一种飞行的脊椎动物－翼龙的化石残留困惑住了古生物学家超过2个多世纪。

More than 90% of Permiangenera of sponges, corals and brachiopods vanished in the extinction.

由于个体种化石的的数量统计随着时间的推移而变化，研究生物灭绝的古生物学家们更倾向于对称为类的有相互联系的整个物种种群进行统计研究。

Instead, we will assume that this task has been done and simply summarise the conclusions that can be drawn from it, combining the information available from the work of the fossilhungry palaeontologists with the facts gathered by the patient ape-watching ethologists.

相反，让我们假定，这一任务已经完成，我们在此只需将详细的描述作一个简单的小结，即把如饥似渴追求化石的古生物学家所提供的信息，与孜孜不倦地观察猿类的个体生态学家所搜集的事实结合起来，扼要地加以归纳。

The palaeontologist claimed that he had found a unique dinosaur fossil but it turned out to be a mare's nest.

一位古生物学家声称，他已发现了一块罕见的恐龙化石，但结果根本不存在。

"We've taken the snake and turned it into a giant thermometer," says lead author and vertebrate palaeontologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto in Canada, who says he "just about screamed" when he first saw the size of the fossils.

&我们已经将一个巨型体温计放到蛇的某个部位&权威发言人和脊椎动物古生物学家Jason说道--加拿大多伦多大学的校长，他说他刚刚看到这么大的化石时都尖叫了起来。

Gould, a palaeontologist, observed that there are long periods of stasis in the fossil record, which is true, and inferred from this that selfish genery is therefore wrong because it predicts continual change, which is questionable.

古尔德是一位古生物学家，他观察到化石记录中有一些相当长的时段，显示进化在这些时间段中处于停滞状态。这的一现象的确存在，若据此来推断，自私基因理论就是错误的了——因为自私基因理论所描绘出的是持续的变化。

On the other hand, the more important thing is because the urban housing is a kind of heterogeneity products.

另一方面，更重要的是由于城市住房是一种异质性产品。

Climate histogram is the fall that collects place measure calm value, cent serves as cross axle for a few equal interval, the area that the frequency that the value appears according to place is accumulated and becomes will be determined inside each interval, discharge the graph that rise with post, also be called histogram.

气候直方图是将所收集的降水量测定值，分为几个相等的区间作为横轴，并将各区间内所测定值依所出现的次数累积而成的面积，用柱子排起来的图形，也叫做柱状图。
