37、ellent: at least four of the crops do not contain harmfulheavy metal levels and are perfectly safe to eat, the University researchers report.If you ve seen The Martian, you can remember how much Matt Damon got done living offof his poo-powered crop of potatoes. Itjust goes to show how important it i

38、s fora long-termcolonyto be able to grow their own food locally. Weve taken one step closer to that goal inMarch,when Netherlands Wageningen Universityreported that theyve managed to grow tendifferent crops in Mars-like soil.However, growing food doesn tdo us much good if eating it kills us, and res

39、earchers wereworried that these crops contained dangerous heavy metals like lead or cadmium(鎘 ) from themartian soil. But future colonists are delighted, as lab analysis of the crops determined that atleast four of them are safe to eat.Led by ecologist Wieger Wamelink, the team tested radishes, toma

40、toes, rye, and peas. Theylookedat cadmium, lead, aluminium( 鋁 ), nickel( 鎳 ), copper, chrome(鉻 ), iron,arsenic(砷 ),manganese(錳 ), and zinc( 鋅 ) contents in the plants, and didntfind any in dangerous levels. Infact, some of these vegetables have lower levels ofheavy metals than those grown in regular

41、potting soil. The plants were also tested for vitamins, alkaloids(生物堿 ), and flavonoids( 類黃酮 ),with good results. While there are six more crops to test, Wamelink himself said that the resultsup to now are“ very promising.”“Growing food locally is especially important to our mission of permanent set

42、tlement, aswe have to ensure sustainable food production on Mars. The results of Dr. Wamelink and his team at Wageningen University & Research are significant progress towards that goal, ”said Mars One co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp in a press release.A crowdfunding campaign is underway (and will b

43、e until the end of August) to fund the test of the remaining crops, potatoes included. If all the crops test out safe, with concentrations of heavy metal the FDA and the Dutch Food Agency consider as safe, Wamelink s team will host a“ Martian dinner” at the Wageningen greenhouse.

47、e discovered a rare and unusual mammoth(猛犸 )skull( 顱骨 ) buried in a 13,000-year-old rock layer on the Santa Rosa Island, the second largestlandmass in the Channel Islands, California.The fossil of the extinct giant animal is leavingmany paleontologists( 古生物學家 ) scratching their heads. Despite the fa

48、ct that its possibly thebest preserved mammoth skull ever found and of high scientific importance, the species of the individual it belonged to can tseem to be identified yet its too big to be a pygmy( 特別矮小的 ) mammoth and too small to have come from a Columbian mammoth. Some say it s a new species w

49、hile others believe the truth lies somewhere in between.The first mammoths showed up in North America around two million years ago, but it was only during the last two ice ages that the Columbian species, which could grow to be up to 14feet tall, made its way to the Channel Islands 100 miles west of

50、 Los Angeles. Once the ice melted, many populations became trapped on the island and evolved into pygmy mammoths, an endemic species(地方種 ) to the Channel Islands which grew only to six feet tall.Judging from its size, the newly found mammoth skull doesntseem to fit any of the twospecies, Columbian o

51、r pygmy. To make things even more confusing, one of its two tusks(象牙 )is nearly five feet long and coiled in a manner that resembles those of fully grown mammothsbut the left tusk is shorter and sloped, more like a juvenile( 青少年 ).This has caused some scientists to say the Santa Rose skull may belon

52、g to a transitionalspecies. Whatever s the case, a following examinationof the mammoth s teeth should put thematter to rest. The analysis will also tell us how old the mammoth was when it died, so we cantell for sure whether it was an adult or juvenile.More interesting than the mammoth s lineage, ho

53、wever, might be its story. The giantmammal lived 13,000 years ago or roughlythe same timelineof the “ Arlington Man” , a13,000-year-old human skeleton also found on Santa Rosa. Some 3,000 years later humans werealready spread throughout the continent and the Channel Islandsmammoth went extinct. Thepresent finding might help reveal a link between the two.The remains also seem to confirm along-held assumption that there were twomammothmigrations to the Channel Islands. “ The discovery of this mammoth skull increases
