Most importantly, we have a large brain with an almost【 84】 number of neural【 85】 . We have used this physical equipment to create culture, the key to our s

40、urvival and success. If we live in the Arctic. we supply the warmth our tropical bodies need【 86】clothing, shelter, and【 87】 heat. If a million people want to live in a desert that supplies natural food for only a few hundred, we find water to grow food and【 88】 deficits by transporting supplies fro

41、m distant places. Inhabitants of our eventual moon colony will bring their own food and oxygen and then create an artificial earth environment to supply necessities. With culture, we can overcome our natural limitations. It was not always【 89】 . 0ur distant ancestors were just animals, faced with th

46、es were worse than they are now. There are still【 C1】 _a few very old women who in their youth have worked【 C2】 _, with harness round their waists, and a chain【 C3】 _passed between their legs, crawling on all【 C4】 _and dragging tugs of coal. They used to go on【 C5】_this even when they were pregnant
