    Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cavewalls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain. But they didn'tfind out in the usual way.

    Archaeologists often date cave art with a process calledradiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found incharcoal(木炭)drawingsor painted pictures. Carbon is an component found in many things, includingcharcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal totest. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock usingstone tools. The scientists had an "aha!" moment when they noticedsmall rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formedafter the drawings were made.

     "It is rare to be ableto scientifically date rock art," said Alistair Pike, an archaeologicalscientist at Britain's University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that someof the sculptures were covered by stalagmites(石笋).”

      When a test proved thatthe stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneaththem had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown, like theEuropean bison, are now extinct - another sign that the art is quite old.

      The artists came toCreswell Crags. This place is one of the farthest points north reached by ourancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea wasdry, so people could move about more easily.

      Some tools and bones foundthere are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers huntedhorses, reindeer, and arctic hares. Their artwork is similar to art in Franceand Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have hada close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away - anotherimportant evidence of understanding how humans spread out across the world.

    Planetary changes which will have an influence on manyare drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actuallychange has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven'tnoticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already andwill begin to worsen within the next few years. Around 2020 most people will beginto see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than nowunderstood.

      As the planet is under biggeological (地质的) stresses，which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longerbe able to support its population. Short of resources, over-farming, lack ofclean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issuesthat will all play a much greater role in the near future.    

      Humans have caused largeecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fastspeed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuableresources. When this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be ableto have sustainable (可持续的)  lifestyles.

      lt's important tounderstand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Eachperson's decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined,can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So thefuture depends on the choices we make at the present moment.

      While more and more peopleare becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems relatedto global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effectswill be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn'tfunctioning well, but they don't understand that this is creating a majorproblem for the future survival of humans.

      So, every person shouldmake the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment andhelp create a more sustainable future.

We can learn from the first paragraph that_______________.
