because后的中文翻译是什么，如何理解？谢谢作者: binneal 时间: 2003-12-10 05:56
... because older individuals were not represented more that the actual distribution of the species so as to cause mis-calculation. For example, if there should be only 20% older individuals (dinosaur, isn't?) but if the collection of fossil samples somehow contains 40% older ones. The result will be distorted.
