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.
這證明，兩足動(dòng)物的演化史并不是在大草原上進(jìn)行的。但是，由于毛發(fā)不會(huì)變成化石，因此很難確定原始人類在什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始失去毛發(fā)。
It therefore sheds light on a longstanding debate: whether it was bipedalism or giving birth to babies with large heads that drove changes in the shape of the human pelvis.
這也使長(zhǎng)期的爭(zhēng)論變得清晰起來(lái)：是否這種物種是用兩只腳行走，或是它所生的后代頭比較大，使其骨盆發(fā)生了改變，和人類的骨盆形狀一樣。
