In the medieval town, focused in a church and market square and bounded by a wall, "one was either in or out of the city; one belonged or one did not belong." If one belonged, one also belonged to an association, religious, trade or craft. The city and its social life had form. Contrary to general belief medieval towns were laid out in rectangular patterns when the site allowed it. Otherwise they usually conformed to the irregular...
...years Dr. Weidenreich has insisted that China's Sinanthropus was more primitive than Java's Pithecanthropus, which he regards as a backward offshoot of the Neanderthal men who emerged later in Europe.

Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus not only belong to different species but to different genera.

He is undoubtedly the only man who was ever, at the same time, a Harvard undergraduate, an able...
Another impediment is the law of property in corpses. They belong to the next of kin or friendship. When Dr. Green applied to San Francisco's Health Commissioner Jacob Casson Geiger and Coroner Thomas Byers Woods Leland for cooperation, they reminded him that peeling a cornea from a body was precisely like performing an autopsy: it requires written permission of the corpse's owners...
