you are: Explosion of creative thought

The Netherlands science has brought the considerable contribution to the statement of the evolutionary theory of Charles Darvina, in particular its sights at an origin of the person from monkeys. The matter is that theory distribution was interfered by absence of the fossil anthropological finds proving logicality of reasonings both C.Darvina, and its passionate supporter. Geksli. As the real proof the unique find which was not inspiring for this reason special trust served. That was a fragment of the skull obviously similar with human. It has been found in 1856 in a karstic cave in valley neandertal, nearby to Düsseldorf (From here and the name-Neanderthal the Person). In due course, the truth, both public opinion, and a science have reconciled with existence in an extreme antiquity of the Neanderthal person. But who was its ancestor? It was fated to give the answer to this question to Dutch Ezhenu Dubo (1858-1940).

Dubo's Family a vein in small South Dutch provincial small town. Ejsdene on the bank of Maas. Still schoolboy Ezhenu possible to present somehow at the lecture devoted to the Darvinian theory. Lecture was read by the visible German scientist. Ezhen has taken a great interest in idea and was engaged in cave inspection in Sacred Peter's located at most Ejsdena grief. Already then he has found out curious fossils in a cave. Gradually dews its interest to a science. In 1887, being the teacher of Amsterdam university, he decides to leave to Indonesia and to start searches of ancestors of the person.

But before to go to the Netherlands India, it was necessary to achieve financial support of the conceived expedition. So anything and not having achieved-after all is not present sense to give money if researches do not increase the Dutch riches - Dubo zaverbovyvaetsja the doctor in colonial army. So it has appeared in Indonesia where on own means in breaks between work began to conduct, day after day, indefatigably search.

It was exposed to many dangers, has picked up a malaria, but did not surrender. And at last in August, 1891 - success! Moreover what! Are found a part of the skull reminding human, a femur and some teeth which were much more primitive before found out. The pithecanthropus, or obezjanochelovek, has received-such name this ancient inhabitant of Java living more 650 thousand years ago. "Intermediate link" opening between a monkey and the person became the first proof of a hypothesis of Darwin about an origin of the person from advanced monkeys.

Near to a place of a find of pithecanthropus Dubo has erected the monument informing about taken place here important for history of mankind opening.

Dubo's Subsequent life developed uneasy, but it already other story. Ezhena Dubo's contribution to a science is conventional, and in 1952 one of small streets of its native small town has received even name Djubuastraat.
