We went to state and came out ranked 18, oh yeah. Go us. |
The reason that the page is in titled Pithecanthropus Erectus is because for Decathlon we had to learn about Jazz, and one of the Musicians was Charles Mingus. His breakthrough album was entitled Pithecanthropus Erectus, and we thought it sounded cool. So, thats the scoop. Now here is Kate's version: A man now known as Eugene Dubois was a surgeon, anthropologist, anatomist and paleontologist who earned worldwide fame through his discovery of Pithecanthropus erectus (now called Homo erectus), the "upright, ape-man of Java." Dubois was intent on finding the "missing link", the evolutionary connection between apes and modern humans. In 1891, while digging into fossil rich ash and river sediments in Java, he found Pithecanthropus erectus (the name means "ape-human which stood upright" [literal translation]) Dubois was scorned for his find and his belief that he had found the missing link. Modern science, however, has vindicated Eugene Dubois, as he was the first to find what we know now as Homo erectus, a direct ancestor of fully modern man. After the 1900s, he withdrew from the controversy on Pithecanthropus and devoted himself to various anatomical, paleontological and geological studies. |

I would like to stress how disappointed I am with Homestead. They recently forced me to delete Strobelight's World and have restricted me to just 3 pages. I kept this one for it was my first ever webpage and well, its sorta a home to all of us that ever visited. My apologies for any inconvenience this has created.. |
