[00:02.98]	Lesson 1
[00:04.66]	Finding fossil man
[00:12.18]	Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful?
[00:19.47]	We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East,
[00:24.91]	where people first learned to write.
[00:28.14]	But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write.
[00:34.00]	The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas
[00:41.10]	--legends handed down from one generation of storytellers to another.
[00:47.43]	These legends are useful
[00:49.88]	because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago,
[00:56.34]	but none could write down what they did.
[01:00.77]	Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples
[01:06.49]	now living in the Pacific Islands
[01:08.67]	came from.
[01:10.60]	The sagas of these people explain
[01:12.91]	that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago.
[01:19.46]	But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago
[01:24.20]	that even their sagas,if they had any,are forgotten.
[01:29.32]	So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out
[01:34.86]	where the first 'modern men' came from
[01:39.15]	Fortunately,however,ancient men made tools of stone,especially flint,
[01:45.69]	because this is easier to shape than other kinds.
[01:50.22]	They may also have used wood and skins,but these have rotted away.
[01:56.45]	Stone does not decay,and so the tools of long ago have remained
[02:03.25]	when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.

[00:02.98]	第一节
[00:04.66]	发现化石人
[00:12.18]	讲述者流传下来的传说为什么是有用的？
[00:19.47]	我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情
[00:24.91]	那里的人最早学会了写字
[00:28.14]	但直到现在,世界上有些地方，人们还不会书写
[00:34.00]	他们保存历史的唯一办法是将历史当作传说讲述
[00:41.10]	由讲述人一代接一代地将史实描述为传奇故事口传下来
[00:47.43]	这些传说是有用的
[00:49.88]	因为他们告诉我们很久以前生活在这里的移民的一些事情
[00:56.34]	但是没有人能写下来
[01:00.77]	人类学家过去不清楚波利尼西亚人
[01:06.49]	如今生活在太平洋诸岛上的
[01:08.67]	来自何方
[01:10.60]	当地人的传说却告诉人们
[01:12.91]	其中一部分是约在2,000年前从印度尼西亚迁来的
[01:19.46]	但是，和我们相似的原始人生活的年代太久远了
[01:24.20]	因此，有关他们的传说既使有如今也失传了
[01:29.32]	于是，考古学家们既缺乏历史记载，又无口头传说来帮助他们弄清
[01:34.86]	第一个现代人是从哪里来的
[01:39.15]	然而，幸运的是，远古人用石头制作了工具，特别是用燧石
[01:45.69]	因为燧石较之其他石头更容易成形
[01:50.22]	他们也可能用过木头和兽皮，但这类东西早已腐烂殆尽
[01:56.45]	石头是不会腐烂的。因此，尽管制造这些工具的人的
[02:03.25]	骨头早已荡然无存，但远古时代的石头工具却保存了下来
