气候变化与生物演化

Climate Change And Living Things Evolution

地球上生物的演化与气候变化具有密切关系．生物起源于地球气候较为温暖的时期．生物的每一次进化，包括生物的绝灭和生物的爆发式发展都与地球气候的极值或重大变化有关．生物的爆发发展基本上发生在大冰期转变为大问冰期气候时期；生物的绝灭事件基本上发生在地球气温极大值或由大间冰期向大冰期气候急剧变化的时期．人类出现在地质历史时期的第三纪末-第四纪初，与三叠纪一第三纪大间冰期气候和第四纪大冰期的气候变化相对应．从南方古猿到能人（真人）、直立人、尼人、智人和现代人的进化也都与第四纪大冰期中的亚冰期与亚间冰期的气候变化相对应．

There are consanguineous relations between climate change and living things evolution. Living things comes into being during the warm period. Every time of living things evolution, including emergence of new species and extinction of old species, is related to climate change when the average global temperature reached the extremum or changed rapidly. Generally speaking, the fulminic evolution of biology happened when the climate changed from interglacial period to ice age. The extinction of living things happened when the climate became the extreme （very warm or cold）or changed from very warm period to very cold period. Human being originated during the period of the Trias and the Tertiary. This period is corresponding to period that the climate of earth changed from the interglacial period of the Trias - Tertiary to the ice age of the Quaternary Period. From Australopithecus africanus to the Homo habilis, Homo sapiens and modern human, Every evolution of Human being is corresponding to the climate change which happened during the Quaternary Period.
