猿人化石充滿著急功近利的謊言
看看Dubois 是如何把不同地點時間發現的骨骼化石組裝在一起的。這是常常給出的典型從猿到人過渡態的進化證據。
「直立人化石最早是在印度尼西亞的爪哇發現的(見爪哇人)。發現者E.杜布瓦將其定名為直立猿人,並相信直立猿人是現代人的祖先。」
我們來看看E.杜布瓦先生是如何發現和拼湊猿人的。
born January 28, 1858, Eisden, Netherlands
died December 16, 1940, de Bedlaer
in full Marie Eugène François Thomas Dubois Dutch anatomist and geologist who discovered the remains of Java man, the first known fossil of Homo erectus.
Appointed lecturer in anatomy at the University of Amsterdam (1886), Dubois investigated the comparative anatomy of the larynx in vertebrates but became increasingly interested in human evolution. In 1887 he went to the East Indies as a military surgeon and, on the island of Sumatra, began to excavate caves in search of remains of early hominins (members of the human lineage).
Continuing his quest on the island of Java, Dubois found at Trinil a jaw fragment (1890) and later a skullcap and thighbone. The skull gave evidence of a small brain, massive browridges, a flat, retreating forehead, and other apelike features. Dubois named the fossils Pithecanthropus erectus, or 「upright ape-man,」 to indicate an intermediate phase in the evolution then believed to proceed from simian ancestors having the upright posture characteristic of modern man. After publishing his findings (1894) he returned to Europe (1895) and became a professor of geology at the University of Amsterdam. Because of controversy surrounding his discovery, he withdrew his materials from all examination until 1923.
