Homo floresiensis was a hominoid discovered in a cave called Liang Bua on an Indonesia island. She was examined to be from 17‚000 years ago and nicknamed “the Hobbit” because she was only around a meter tall even though she was an adult.

Ecce Homo by Nietzsche is ironically a reflection of himself. It is extremely sarcastic and is a reflection of himself as a writer and philosopher in a self-deprecatory manner . The book is as though he is putting his life on trial to which the title alludes. The words "ecce homo" (behold‚ the man) were proclaimed by Pontius Pilate in the New Testament of the Bible when he gave up Jesus to the Jews to have them do what they liked with him. Likewise Nietzsche is giving himself up to his readers and

" Homo sapiens‚ a primate risen in Africa from a lineage that split away from the chimpanzee line five to eight million years ago" (501). In Wilson’s terms‚ Homo sapiens is the reason for earth’s change and composition. He asserts that no other species has ever come close to the human species of 5.5 billion‚ and furthermore believes that this vast number will likely double within the next 50 years. Wilson goes on to say that our species is like no other: "We are tribal and aggressively territorial

Homo Aquaticus? I.

(Nikos Kazantzakis). The statement Kazantzakis made relates well with the topic of this novel. Bradbury uses the character of Faber to prove that when people are brave enough to make a change‚ they can change problems in society such as the reliance of instant gratification.

Faber defines quality of information as textured and detailed knowledge of life. A good author gives you enough detail to allow you to imagine the characters and setting. He also

To support this statement I will explore the innovative technological methods Lee Berger and his team used throughout the research and excavation process and analyse the anatomical similarities and differences between Homo naledi and other hominins living
