Despite more than a century of study, scientists have struggled to understand what it was that caused the domestication process in the first place.A new theory given by Maria
16、Lahtinen, a senior researcher, might be able to explain this puzzle. She made this theory when studying the diet of late Pleistocene hunter gatherers in Arctic and sub-Arctic Eurasia. At that time, around 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, the world was in the coldest period of the last ice age.In cold env
17、ironments then, as today, humans tended to gain the majority of their food from animals. Nutritional deficiencies came from the absence of fat and carbohydrates, not necessary protein. Indeed, if humans eat too much meat, they can develop protein poisoning and even die. “Because we humans are not fu
18、lly adapted to a diet that is carnivorous, we simply cannot digest protein very well,” Lahtinen says.During that time, animals that humans killed for food would have been struggling to live, barely having fat and composed mostly of lean muscle. Using previously published early fossil records, Lahtin
19、en and her colleagues calculated that the animals killed by people in the Arctic and sub-Arctic during this time would have provided much more protein than they could have safely consumed.Under the tough circumstances of the Arctic and sub-Arctic ice age winter, sharing excess meat with dogs would h

24、d body.“I dont have net? You dont have net. Your father and mother dont have net,” I yelled, firing at him with what I thought was a hurt. I just had to make him understand that I had plenty of net. Eric was speechless. He admitted that indeed, he and his family had neither a tennis court nor a net,
25、 but he seemed unable to make sense of my reaction to this shortcoming.As a new arrival to the United States, armed with limited English words, I had thought that “net” meant manners. Eric didnt want to play with me because I lacked good manners. It was only after I stormed home that my brother, who
26、 had been in America for a decade, explained where I had gone wrong.Language barriers are the most common communication barriers.
