<< review queue entry 68697 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) "the late" is an adjective, and I don't think 古人 is ever placed before a person's name or title, as in English. Ex: "The state funeral for the late president was most likely the largest gathering of people in one place ..." Google: <<No results found for "古人大总统".>> I presume "the late" is based on HDC: 指亡故之人 [...] 鲁迅《热风·望勿“纠正”》：“ 汪原放君已经成了古人了。” But that's "deceased person", not "the late". ----------------------------- 2) /ancient human species such as Homo erectus or Homo neanderthalensis/ See GF and HDC. Also NA ~ "humans between the apemen and Homo sapiens, living about 200,000-40,000 years ago" |
