believe Homo floresiensis to be – a “one off” freak version of Homo erectus‚ a separate and very unique species‚ or something else . . . Homo floresiensis was a hominoid discovered in a cave called Liang Bua on an Indonesia island. She was examined to be from 17‚000 years ago and nicknamed “the Hobbit” because she was only around a meter tall even though she was an adult.

The words "ecce homo" (behold‚ the man) were proclaimed by Pontius Pilate in the New Testament of the Bible when he gave up Jesus to the Jews to have them do what they liked with him. Likewise Nietzsche is giving himself up to his readers and

" Homo sapiens‚ a primate risen in Africa from a lineage that split away from the chimpanzee line five to eight million years ago" (501).

Faber defines quality of information as textured and detailed knowledge of life. A good author gives you enough detail to allow you to imagine the characters and setting. He also

Dawe presents everything that man had to offer in a world of variables and shows that although man has lost traditional roots and beginnings connecting to the land‚ there has been no change and control over the constant values that man has held throughout time. In this poem there is a strong sense of honesty and sombre in the tone
