2. The average person gets six to nine hours of sleep per night, which means he or she
spends around a third of his or her life asleep. This might seem like a lot, but compared to
how much other primates sleep, it’s actually not. According to research, the reason humans
need less sleep may also be why we have evolved so successfully.
Three million years ago, our ancestors had bodies like those of apes, and they probably
slept in trees. Slowly, they began to stand up straight and spend more time on the ground,
where they made beds to sleep on at night. Sleeping on the ground improved their quality of
sleep, since there was no longer the danger of falling out of a tree. With the discovery of fire,
humans were able to scare away larger animals and cook food, which gave them more
nutrition to develop bigger brains.
Experts think these changes influenced the way our ancestors slept. Moving from trees to
 the ground made it possible for our ancestors to sleep more deeply. Therefore, we may sleep Finally, let’s talk about skunks. Although cute and furry in appearance, these animals
for fewer hours than other primates, but as the sleep we get is of better quality, we need less have a powerful weapon. __④__ The smell of a skunk’s spray, one of the best-known

(B) Humans do not sleep in trees anymore. (C) The time humans spend on the
ground has increased. (D) The quality of sleep has made human beings require
less sleep.
