The way to fix this, I thought, was a) to place her principles in constant conflict with the reality of the small child and b) to have her attempts at a reasoned master narrative broken up by the incessant interruptions of the Infant Phenomenon. So - oh God, oh God, oh God - in early drafts there were endless pages of Sibylla editorializing. On the other hand, various radical decisions that shaped the story (to raise a child according to the precepts of J S Mill and Yo Yo Ma, to allow the child to leave school after one month) seemed to need some explanation. ![]() ![]() When finally revealed to the public, Ardi stunned scientists around the world and challenged a half-century of orthodoxy about human evolution-how we started walking upright, how we evolved our nimble hands, and, most significantly, whether we were descended from an ancestor that resembled today’s chimpanzee. Radiometric dating of nearby rocks indicated the resulting skeleton, classified as Ardipithecus ramidus-nicknamed “Ardi”-was an astounding 4.4 million years old, more than a million years older than the world-famous “Lucy.” The team spent the next 15 years studying the bones in strict secrecy, all while continuing to rack up landmark fossil discoveries in the field and becoming increasingly ensnared in bitter disputes with scientific peers and Ethiopian bureaucrats. ![]() It is the ultimate mystery: where do we come from?

It’s the first story of Smith, a hard science fiction time traveler with more than a enough quirk to last him several centuries.

The context of Mexican political realities and a comic book industry that saw itself as a part of the entertainment industry, made Rius’s comics unique. He is credited with helping to educate a whole generation of Mexicans as they followed the adventures of the laid-back electric-blanket wearing Indian Calzonzin and his tussles with the village PRI party boss, Don Perpetuo Del Rosal. Rius is perhaps the first cartoonist to seriously consider the balance needed in order to make educational comics work, to include enough action, rounded characters and humour to draw in readers and keep them turning the pages. Apart from a political conscience-raising, he used these comic-books to promote vegetarianism, Buddhism, family planning and the joys of stamp collecting. Both these comic books are set in fictional Mexican villages and use stock characters to explain the political and economic reality of life. ![]() This tendency begins to manifest in the 1960s with his two seminal comic books Los Agachados (the stooped ones) and later, Los Supermachos (the super machos). His professional trajectory is unique in that he has concentrated his efforts on non-fiction works, specifically educational comic books. Eduardo Del Rio is a legendary Mexican cartoonist who has been publishing books, comics and press cartoons for over fifty years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This article was posted in December 2005 on the web page ofīut without any clear indication that it had appeared in a particular issue of the print version.Īsian Survey, a monthly journal, usually focuses in current or recent events, but at least theĪrticles are written by scholars, and sometimes there are articles dealing with eventsįar enough in the past to allow a real historical perspective.
