1 ?赫托 1997年，美国加州大学伯克利分校怀特率领的国际研究组成了幸运儿，他们在埃塞俄比亚阿法盆地一个名叫赫托(Herto)的村子附近发现了3个人类头骨化石。

Now there was Herto. As the broad, heavy-browed male skull emerged from its matrix of sand, it proved the perfect face for the out of Africa theory. 但在赫托村的发现提供了最直接的证据，这具头骨来自于一位宽额粗眉的男性，它的出土有力证明了人类起源于非洲的理论。 - 2
In the short walk from Herto to Daka, however, something tangible of our humanness had definitely been stripped away too—notably, several hundred cubic centimeters of gray matter. 虽然达卡距离赫托并不是太远，但我们人性中的某些有形部分已经随着时光的回溯而被剥去了——尤其是大脑中那几百立方厘米的灰质部分。 - 3
The stone tools found at Herto represent a fairly sophisticated technology—but they are not that much different from tools 100, 000 years older or, for that matter, 100, 000 years younger. 在赫托遗址发现的石制工具虽代表了相当精良的制作工艺，但它们与10万年前更原始或更近代时期的工具相比，并没有太多的不同之处。
