More than 3 million years ago,our ancestors(祖先) were already on the march,rising on two legs to search for food,seek greener lands and,above all,to grow in body and brain.Let's meet some of them:

1.Australopithecus(南方古猿) afarensis

They had apelike faces and their brains were a third the size of modern humans' brains.They lived 3.9 million years ago.Fossils(化石) were found in Ethiopia(埃塞俄比亚) in 1974.

2.Paranthropus boisei

Covered with fur,they had strong arms and gorilla?like faces.They lived 1-2.5 million years ago.Fossils were found in Tanzania(坦桑尼亚) in 1959.

4.Homo erectus

　　In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.

 

In the past 500 years，nothing about people—their clothes，ideas，or languages has changed as much as what they eat.The original (最初的) chocolate drink was made from the seeds of cocoa tree by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s.And although it was very expensive，it quickly became fashionable (时髦的)．In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places.Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World.Around 1,600，the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe，where it soon was widely grown.The potato was the main food at Irish table.Thousands of Irish people starved (饿死) when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” (马铃薯饥荒) of 1845～1846，and thousands more were forced to move to America.

There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite (相反的) direction.Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee，and coffee is important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚)．It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.

According to an Arabic story，coffee was discovered when a man named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red fruits on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide­awake” feeling that one­third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
