Book summaryThrough lively prose and numerous maps and photos, this accessible work traces the life of Eugene Dubois, a scientist whose seminal 1891 discovery of fossilized remains--Pithecanthropus erectus, more commonly known as Homo erectus--provides compelling evidence for Darwin's theory of natural selection. Part defense of scientific innovation, part study of a stubbornly principled character, this biography claims that Dubois deserves a place of honor in science history. Media reviews"Shipman proves herself a virtuoso of the scientific biography." |
