The partial remains of a skeleton belonging to a tiny female hominid that lived around 95K to 17Kya, was found in the Liang Bua cave on the island of Flores in Indonesia in 2003. This skeleton has unique traits. It has small body approximately 3’6” in length and an estimated body weight of 66 lbs. The 426 cc brain capacity led scientists to taxa the skeleton to a new species they called Homo floresiensis. Since the initial find, teeth and bones from as many as twelve H. floresiensis remains have
In 2004, the world was shocked by the discovery of Homo floresiensis. The discovery opened up worldwide debates about the validity of the species. To this day, the excavators and researchers are still examining the archaeological site at Liang Bua to get more insight into whether or not H. floresiensis was extinct before H. sapiens, or if their existence overlapped (Callaway et al., 2014). However, with the information from the excavation that already has already been researched, aids to the validity

In the case of Alejandro Flores, there are many cultural and social factors that are affecting the family’s approach to health care.

Neuroscience The literature frequently recommended group therapists pay closer attention to advancements in brain studies (Flores, 2010). Research highlighted the importance of learning and teaching clients basic ways that the brain functions, especially as it relates to our emotions (Flores, 2010). To first lay a foundation for neuroscience, literature maintains that the human brain is generally organized into three complex and interconnected layers: the brainstem, the limbic system, and the
insight to an author’s analysis of a subject. In The Comanche Empire, Pekka Hamalainen creates a thesis, which claims the Comanche Native Americans created a powerful empire in the Southwest. Assessing Hamalainen’s thesis, reviewers Joel Minor, Dan Flores, Gerald Betty, and Joaqin Rivaya-Martinez presents a variety of views of the monograph.

she has already been promised to Alonzo. Beatrice Joanna tries solving her problem by enlisting the help of De Flores, a servant but it unfortunately ends tragically. Her social structure greatly impacted the choices she had and also the outcome of the events. Beatrice Joanna can be said to be a victim of her social structure with regards to her father Vermandero, Alsemero and De Flores. Beatrice Joanna is a victim of her social structure with regards to her father Vermandero. This is because Beatrice
portrayed as an innocent victim or a sexual predator? Throughout Act 1, the portrayal of Beatrice is one of contradicting extremes, depending of the characters she is interacting with. With Alsemero, she is presented as sweet and romantic, whereas with De Flores, she is presented as petty and vindictive. However, I would argue that she is portrayed as a victim instead of a predator, although to what extent she is innocent is questionable. Our first impression of Beatrice is shaped by Alsermero’s idea of
drugs. Deborah Flores, 40, who resides next to the couple on 150th street in Whitestone, stated this wasn’t the first heated argument that occurred between Marsh and Parker. “I didn’t think it was serious because the fighting between the two was so often”, said Flores. After the confrontation, Parker took their 15 month old baby, Jessica, and attempted to leave the house with her child in her hand. “You’re not taking my baby!” was the statement made from Marsh towards Parker, said Flores.

indigenous people were taken around the United States like circus acts. Oboler and Flores had similar ideas about what it means to be Hispanic. The "Monroe Doctrine" proved Latinos have been seen as dependents in the United States since the beginning. Finally, Joseph and Roseberry investigated the term “culture” in their pieces. This essay will explore how the film “Couple in the Cage” illustrates concepts written by Flores, Oboler, Monroe, Joseph, and Roseberry about to Latinos in the United States.
treatment, and lastly makes sure the patient is fully competent to take in the information to get on a closer patient/caretaker relationship. In the paragraphs below, I hope to fully explain further on these topics and relate them to the story of Mrs. Flores, and just what additional considerations have to be made for her case. When disclosing information to any patient, there is always a contract in place that helps describe what both parties have agreed to and also the rights and responsibilities of
of painting instead of a style of literature (15). However, there are still at least two different viewpoints as to where and when Magical Realism truly had its start. In Angel Flores' essay, "Magical Realism in Spanish America," he claims that Magical Realism had its basis in the works of Franz Kafka. Furthermore, Flores thinks that the year 1935 was the year that Magical Realism had its beginning in Latin America because this was the year that Jorge Luis Borges' work, A Universal History of Infamy

The Panama Canal was constructed in two stages. The first between 1881 and 1888, was carried out by the French company headed by De Lessop. Second
This week’s reading covered the topic of Guzmán’s conquest of western Mexico. Included were two accounts that showed the conquest in starkly contrasting lights. The first was an account of the expedition written by Cristóbal Flores for the audiencia in Mexico City. The second was a letter written by Guzmán for his majesty while on the expedition. The accounts written by the two men differ sharply in how they portray the events that occurred during the expedition. An example of this can be seen in
month ago, I had never heard of Magical Realism. Since reading the four essays by Franz Roh, Angel Flores, Luis Leal and Amaryll Chanaday and various internet articles, I have a much better understanding of Magical Realism - what it is, how it applies to literature, how it applies to art, and its theory, history, and style. Magical Realism is a fusion of fantasy and reality. According to Flores, it is a "transformation of common and everyday into the awesome and unreal" (114). This is not even
