17、eybees and primates lived about 600 million years ago.But still，they evolved numerical competence that，in many respects，is comparable to vertebrate(脊椎动物的) numerical competence.Also，for example，male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females.The females，listening for the complexity of their
18、calls，choose the male that sings the most calls.Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey(猎物)：With prey like deer，only around six to eight wolves are needed，while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen.Th

25、 simulated moon dust.The dust is part of a material known as regolith，a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of the moon.Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight.However，the oxygen is chemically locked
26、 in the form of minerals or glass，so it is not easily available for use.Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing.The oxygen extraction(提取) process is carried out using a method called molten salt
27、 electrolysis(熔盐电解)This includes first placing the regolith in a metal container.Calcium chloride salt is added to the mixture，which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius.At this temperature，the regolith remains solid.Next，an electrical current is passed through the material.The researchers say it i
28、s this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith.The study reported that up to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments.ESAs long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing “pilot plant” to operate full-time on the moon.The first techno
29、logy demonstration of the system is expected to take place in the middle 2020s.Beth Lomax，a lead researcher on the project，said，“Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers，both for breathing and the local production of roc
