What is the most number of species that was identified before koobi fora. Points to africa and say and we have to look at apes there are 2 apes in. This was just one view we might take it for granted but at the time it was a big thing. Today we will look at a family that studied in indonesia. Haeckle convinced that ancestor would lie in far east. Dubois was a young anatomist that became an anatomist, then took his family and went to military school in indonesia. 2-3 years after he found incredible remains (top of slide hemur ) he knew it was old because it was fossilized. This had hallmarks of being an old human large head and large brain. Immediate reaction was that: they had large brain. These specimens together have been called javaman: this was found in indonesia so it opened ways to study in indo.
