The History of the World Podcast, written and presented by Chris Hasler.

Welcome to the History of the World Podcast magazine. Oh, you know. Hello everyone welcome to a history of the world podcast magazine in which we look back on previous episodes and some of the more

interesting content from those episodes and what we tend to do is look back at

what we were doing on this date in previous years in

the podcast history now the podcast is now in its sixth year so we have we

effectively have five previous years of information that we can look back on and

we're going to take some information from four of those previous five years. So we're initially

going to go back to 2018, then 2019, then 2020 and then 2021.

So without further ado, let's go back and look at what the History of the World

Podcast was talking about back in 2018 and on this date in 2018 we were discussing

Homo erectus which is an archaic type of human being that was alive before Homo sapiens us evolved.

So one of our ancestors if you like, Homo erectus. Now there was quite a lot of excitement in the world

maybe around a hundred years ago give or take around the the discovery of human ancestors.

It was a very energetic and, I would say, new science.

And one of those people who was heavily involved in it was a man called Eugene Dubois and we spoke of him and he's rather let's say more intro well I don't

have introvert it's the right word it's very much a man of his own principles and he wanted

to convince the world that he was the main man when it comes to paleo anthropology to the point where

he would prevent others from even questioning his work and he was quite the solker and let's go back four

years ago and talk about his story.

Ugen du Bois.

To begin the story of Homo erectus, I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite

characters in the story of Palio anthropology, Mr. Ugen de Bois.
