	In These Times -- Convenient Inventions
		Dubois, a Dutch anthropologist who lived from 1858 to 1940, is not a household name.
		Dubois' general lack of recognition among the world's populace is precisely why Shipman decided to devote years of her life to writing his biography.
		After explaining to readers that Dubois' daughter Eugnie destroyed some of the evidence about his life, Shipman says her endnotes "indicate where I have filled in intriguing omissions resulting from Eugnie's actions." For most readers, the import of that cryptic sentence is quite likely to be lost.

	Was Java Man a gibbon?
		Many creationists (and some evolutionists) state that Eugene Dubois decided in the 1930's that the Java Man skullcap was merely that of a large gibbon [1].
		As it turned out, Dubois was correct in saying that Pithecanthropus was bipedal, even though the femur that he used as evidence of bipedality is no longer thought to belong to the same creature as the skull cap.
		Dubois' theory was that brain evolution advanced in leaps, in which the brain effectively doubled in complexity from a previous stage.

		Her subject, Eugene Dubois (1858-1940), was a Dutch physician and anatomist who gave up a promising post at the University of Amsterdam to go to the Dutch East Indies with the aim of finding a fossil of a prehuman that would be demonstrably the "missing link" in the evolutionary trail from ape to human.
		The first to undertake a systematic expedition to excavate hominid fossils, Dubois was a character whose traits seemed to prefigure succeeding figures in human-origins research.
		A second effective attribute of her prose is the depiction of Dubois' interior moods as he directs work, neglects family, hoards his fossils, and frays his friendships and professional relationships.

	WEB DuBois, "If Eugene Debs Returned"
		IN the year 1920 when 919,000 American voters wanted Eugene Debs to be president of the United States, the socialist platform on which he ran demanded in general terms that eventually the ownership of the means of production be transferred from private to public control.
		EUGENE Debs, however, being an astute man and a logical thinker, would not be inclined to spend his birthday in celebrating the triumph of socialism in the United States.
		NOW, the socialism of Eugene Debs was founded on the democratic state in which the law of the land was to be determined by the will of the people.

	Salon.com Books \| "The Man Who Found the Missing Link" by Pat Shipman
		Dubois was born in 1858, in between the discovery of the first Neanderthal skeleton and the publication of Charles Darwin's"The Origin of Species." Many of Europe's leading scientists were eager to connect the Neanderthal skeleton with Darwin's theories in order to say that mankind had evolved from lower, primate-like forms.
		Dubois' personality may have been well suited for the solitary work in Java, but it was a fatal handicap in the lecture halls of Europe.
		Dubois is a kind of missing link himself -- a once-tangible tie between the end of unquestioned Biblical revelation and the discovery of our hominoid history written in fossilized bone.

		It was not until the discovery of the 'Nariokotome Boy' that an associated skull and mandible of this species was found.
		Subsequent to Dubois' discovery, Davidson Black worked in the Chinese site of Zhoukoudian and in 1929 discovered a skull cap more complete than Dubois' but very similar in shape.
		Eugene Dubois believed that his teeth, skull cap and femur were so different from Homo sapiens that he named a new genus, Pithecanthropus aswell as a new species erectus.

		The Dubois family motto, "Recte et fortiter," means straight and strong, and Dubois lived it to the letter.
		In her revisionist view, Dubois is the unrecognized father of modern paleoanthropology (the science of human origins and evolution), one of the greatest discoverers of human origins.
		Later, after Dubois and his family return to the Netherlands, we do get excellent blow-by- blow accounts of the scientific in-fighting as other fossils like Peking Man and other Java men are discovered that cause reinterpretation of his finds and provoke controversy about them (later they are relabeled Homo erectus).

		In the late 1800s a Dutch anatomist, Eugene Dubois, joined the Dutch army as a means to bring him to Asia to hunt for the "missing link".
		At the time the authorities were of divided opinions; they regarded the find as from a man, ape, or ape-man. Dubois promoted the find as a the missing link and allowed others to examine the fossils until about 1900 when he withdrew the fossils and refused to allow anyone to see them.
		Dubois did publicly announce skulls in much later in 1920 when another researcher claimed to have discovered the first "pro-Australian".

	Scientific Honesty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Eugene Dubois was not entirely honest in his presentation of “Java Man”, either.
		Dubois claimed that the skullcap and the femur came from a rock stratum known as the Trinil layer, named after a nearby village in central Java.
		Dubois, for reasons we can only guess (ambition, ego, prejudice), falsely reported the geologic ages of some fossils, and hid other fossils found in the same rock layer, because those other fossils would have shown that the Java Man fossils were the wrong age.

	Homo Erectus
		Dubois had been a student of Ernst Haeckel, famous for his "biogenetic Law" that stated a human embryo went through a sequential evolutionary stage of its ancestors.
		As Dubois came under increasing attack, he became very secretive about his fossil finds - to the point of hiding them under his dining room floor and refusing to let them be examined.
		A few years before his death in 1940, Dubois finally admitted the skulls were in his opinion those of a large Gibbon.

	Athena Review, 4,1: The Discovery of "Java Man" in 1891
		The initial discovery of Homo erectus in 1891 was due to the single-minded efforts of a Dutch physician, Eugene Dubois (fig.1), seeking evidence of an ancestral “missing link” between apes and humans in the tropics of southeast Asia.
		To Dubois, the association of the obviously early skull with the human-looking legbone, showing bipedal posture, provided evidence of the missing link sought by many late 19th century evolutionists.
		Dubois was correct in thinking he had found an early human ancestor.

		Dubois apparently informed his wife that, should something happen to their lifeboat, she would be responsible for saving their three children; he would be preoccupied with saving the Java Man fossils in the suitcase he'd strapped to his chest.

		Dubois took his family to the islands, he survived cave-ins, malaria, and government neglect, and he identified thousands of mammalian fossils, including in 1891 a molar, skull, and thigh-bone of the missing link.
		Dubois was brilliant and tenacious, but he experienced real betrayals in his scientific life that consumed him.
		When Dubois brought the specimens home, the reaction of his mother was, "But, boy, what use is it?" As the finder of the first link between humans and non-human ancestors, Dubois was necessarily the lightning rod for attacks from the clergy and the public.

	The Ape-Men II
		A young Dutch evolutionist physician, Eugene Dubois who "was very influenced by Darwin and his followers" according to Koenigswald, was determined to find the remains of the ape-man.
		Dubois kept the bones in the iron safe of the Museum of Leiden, and they could only be seen with his approval.
		Dubois' idea of the findings belonging to the same individual got a serious blow, when three more femur bones were found in 1932 and another one in 1935 in his collection.

	History and Background
		It was into this atmosphere that a young anatomist named Eugène Dubois ventured out into the island of Java in the search for the "missing link." Between the years 1891 and 1894, Dubois discovered a flattish skull cap and humanlike femur.
		The genus name Pithecanthropus was invented by Ernst Haeckel, whom Dubois admired greatly; and erectus meant "upright" or "erect," in light of the human-like femur.
		Dubois was followed by many other paleoanthropologists, who chose, however, not to search in the Southeast Asian islands, but in Mongolia.
