 "Ecce homo" by Gale A. Norton (Harper's Magazine)
A review of this data indicates that Homo sapiens are found in all fifty states, comprise 100 percent of the population of each, and are subject to extensive legal protection against taking and commercialization.
While certain classes of Homo sapiens may meet this test, and all may meet it during certain periods (roughly the ages of 2-3 and 16-21), it cannot be said that Homo sapiens as a whole are not “domesticated.”
Furthermore, if Homo sapiens, or a population thereof, were listed as endangered, the Fish and Wildlife Service would be allowed to authorize their taking for scientific purposes, 16 U.S.C. [section] 1539 (a) (1) (A), and to allow their killing incidental to otherwise lawful activity.

 Darwinism Refuted.com
As the name implies, Homo erectus means "man who walks upright." Evolutionists have had to separate these fossils from earlier ones by adding the qualification of "erectness," because all the available Homo erectus fossils are straight to an extent not observed in any of the australopithecines or so-called Homo Habilis specimens.
The primary reason for evolutionists' defining Homo erectus as "primitive" is the cranial capacity of its skull (900-1,100 cc), which is smaller than the average modern man, and its thick eyebrow projections.
Homo erectus 'S SAILING CULTURE "Ancient mariners: Early humans were much smarter than we suspected" According to this article in the March 14, 1998, issue of New Scientist, the people that evolutionists call Homo erectus were sailing 700,000 years ago.

Homo erectus was already about as tall as our own species is today, and had brains that were about three-quarters the size of ours.
The feud over Homo floresiensis, the little people of Indonesia, centers on whether they were an extinct diminutive species that evolved from some ancient hominid, such as Homo erectus, or whether they were just pygmy humans, perhaps suffering from some disease.
Homo floresiensis was not an ape--it had the signature traits of a homind, such as a bipedal anatomy and small canine teeth.

Homo erectus as currently defined from Asia would be one species which became extinct in the last half million years.
The problem of defining Homo erectus is that it is viewed at present as a grade of human evolution intermediate between the small-brained early Pleistocene hominids and the large brained Homo sapiens.

 yourDictionary.com • Library: Homosexuals and Homo Sapiens   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The "homo" of "homo sapiens" has absolutely no connection historically with the "homo-" of homosexual (in fact, the Latin form "homo" is ultimately related to the word "humus" earth, so that a "homo" to the Romans was a kind of 'earthling').
A "homo sapiens" is a "wise human", that is, modern man, while a homosexual is someone who has feelings for members of the same sex.
This may explain why the derogatory word "homo" is generally applied to males and not to females, since "male" seems to be the normal interpretation attached to "man", and why the term "homophobe" seems to mean 'fear of homosexuals' for some people, but 'fear of humans' for others.

 Ecce Homo Summary
Ecce Homo (IPA: /'ɛʧːe 'homo/ or /'ɛkːe 'homo/; EH-tchay/EK-kay HO-mo) (Latin for Behold the Man), were the words used by Pontius Pilate when he presented a scourged Jesus Christ, bound and crowned with thorns, to the hostile crowd shortly before the Crucifixion.
The ecce homo theme was included not only in passion plays of middle-age theatre, but also in scenic illustrations of the story of the Passion, as in the Passions of Albrecht Dürer or the prints of Martin Schongauer.
In 1498, Albrecht Dürer depicted the suffering of Christ in the ecce homo scene of his Great Passionin unusually close relation with his self-portrait, leadting to a reinterpretation of the motif as a metaphor for the suffering of the artist.

 Homo habilis & Homo erectus, first stone tool users
Homo habilis is smaller-brained creature with an archaic postcranium, and Homo rudolfensis as larger-brained with a more modern postcranium.
Homo erectus used fire by 300,000 years ago, while ancient sites as old as 750,000 years in France and 1.4 million years in Kenya are more controversial (Parker, 1992), (Fletcher, 1994).
The 1.7 million year-old stone tools found with the hominid (Homo ergaster/erectus) remains at Dmanisi are simple choppers and scrapers similar to the Oldowan tools found in the Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania (Gabunia et al, 2000).

 Homo erectus   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The first findings of Homo erectus fossils were made in the late 19th and early 20th century in Indonesia and China.
Homo erectus then became the direct ancestor of Homo sapiens by a gradual worldwide (excluding the Americas and Australia) evolutionary transformation of all populations of Homo erectus.
The second hypothesis is referred to as the "Out of Africa Model" and believes that that it was not a gradual worldwide change that led to the evolutionary transformation of populations of Homo erectus, but a speciation event in a single population in Africa, which then spread throughout the Old World and replaced established populations.

 Mondays: Monday Reading Group — Agamben’s Homo Sacer
Homo Sacer, a human being that could not be ritually offered, but whom one.
In contrast to arguments that understand political community as essentially a common 'belonging' in a shared national, ethnic, religious, or moral identity, Agamben argues that 'the original political relation is the ban' in which a mode of life is actively and continuously excluded or shut out (ex-claudere) from the polis.
TD: In that regard, my sense is that you both recognize th power of Giorgio Agamben's argument in Homo Sacer concerning the extraordinary violence of sovereignty at the end of modernity and yet you seek to overcome what may (not too unjustly) be thought of as a terrifying passivity that his position could result in.
