But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. Thepossibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years latercan only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parentssometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely toprotest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a halfalmost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more andmore parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut,though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.

The life story of the human species goes back a million years, and there is no doubt that mancame only recently to the western hemisphere. None of the thousands of sites of aboriginal (土著的) habitation uncovered in North and South America has antiquity comparable to that ofold World sites. Man’s occupation of the New World may date several tens of thousands ofyears, but no one rationally argues that he has been here even 100,000 years.
Speculation as to how man found his way to America was lively at the outset, and theproposed routes boxed the compass. With one or two notable exceptions, however, studentsof American anthropology soon settled for the plausible idea that the first immigrants came bway of a land bridge that had connected the northeast comer of Asia to the northwest corner ofNorth America across the Bering Strait. Mariners were able to supply the reassuringinformation that the strait is not only narrow – it is 56 miles wide – but also shallow, alowering of the sea level there by 100 feet or so would transform the strait into an isthmus(地峡). With little eels in the way of evidence to sustain the Bering Strait land bridge,anthropologists (人类学家) embraced the idea that man walked dryshod (不湿鞋的) from Asia toAmerica.
Toward the end of the last century, however, it became apparent that the WesternHemisphere was the New World not only for man but also for a host of animals and plants.Zoologists and botanists showed that numerous subjects of their respective kingdoms musthave originated in Asia and spread to America. These findings were neither astonishing norwholly unexpected. Such spread of populations is not to be envisioned as an exodus or massmigration, even in the case of animals. It is, rather, a spilling into new territory thataccompanies increase in numbers, with movement in the direction of least populationpressure and most favorable ecological conditions. But the immense traffic in plant andanimal’s forms placed a heavy burden on the Bering Strait land bridge as the anthropologistsahead envisioned it. Whereas purposeful men could make their way across a narrow bridge, theslow diffusion of plant and animals would require an avenue as a continent and available forages at a stretch.
