Paleontology

Pat Shipman's latest work offers a compelling scientific biography of the largely forgotten Dutch scientist, Eugene Dubois, presented in a narrative style akin to a novel. Dubois, a pivotal figure at the turn of the 20th century, significantly altered our understanding of human origins with his discovery of Homo erectus in Java in 1891. Driven by the ambition to provide concrete evidence for Darwinian evolution, a theory still subject to considerable debate at the time, Dubois dedicated himself to the search for the "missing link." Shipman masterfully utilizes a rich collection of letters, diaries, and photographs to reconstruct Dubois's life and career, vividly depicting the global impact of his groundbreaking discovery in the 1890s.
