2. Homo Robustus
The meaning of human Robustus itself is a big strong ape body was found in 1936 in Sangiran River valley Solo.Fosil homosexuals who are found Von Koenigswald ..
3. Homo Sapiens
This type of gay men who already have a shape similar to the human body now and also has the nature of man now but still has a very simple life, and of course life wandering (nomadic). The type of Homo sapiens found in Indonesia there are two, namely:- Homo Soloensis
- Homo sapiens wajakensis
A) Homo Soloensis
Soloensis Homo fossils found in Ngandong, Blora, at Sangiran and Sambung Macan, Sragen, by Ter Haar, Oppenoorth, and Von Koenigswald in the year 1931-1933 from the Upper Pleistocene layers. Soloensis Homo, which lived about 900,000 to 300,000 years ago.Brain volume reached 1300 cc.
According to Von Koenigswald creatures higher level compared with Pithecanthropus Erectus. Is estimated that this creature is an evolution and Pithecanthropus mojokertensis. By some experts, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo classified Soloensis which is a hominid species Homo sapiens from Asia, Europe, and Africa from the Upper Pleistocene layers.
B) Homo Wajakensis

The food was cooked, although still very simple. Homo skull Wajakensis have much in common with the skulls of indigenous Australia, Aboriginal. Therefore, Eugene Dubois suspect that Homo Australoide WajakensIs included in the race, bernenek ancestor of Homo Soloensis and reduce Aboriginal peoples. Wajakensis Homo fossils also have similarities with the human fossil Niah in Sarawak Malaysia, human Tabon in Palawan, the Philippines, and Australoid fossils from South China, and South Australia.

Why Dutch Origins Colonizing Indonesia Over 350 Years
Did you know that as a nation bukulah the Dutch can get to colonization of the archipelago and the rich of this earth for centuries? The book is titled "Itinerario naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien", written by Jan Huygen van Linshoten in the year 1595. Here's her story:
Long before Europe opened his eyes to find a new world, the indigenous people nationwide live in peace. This situation changed dramatically when the Europeans began arriving on the pretext of trade, but to bring combat forces equipped with weapons. It is ironic, a character that moves the wheels of world history into the pools of blood are two different popes. First, Pope Urban II, who waged a crusade to capture Jerusalem in the Council of Clermont in 1096. And secondly, Pope Alexander VI.
Within a few short years, had invaded the Netherlands East Indies and it lasts a long time until the newly independent nation in 1945
Crusade unwittingly opened the eyes of the Europeans about the civilization that is far superior than them. European experience of enlightenment due to contact with Muslims in this crusade. If it is a fact long before the Europeans dared to sail the oceans, the Arabs have been known to the world as a nation of intrepid traders who used to sail the ocean to the archipelago.

Even
camphor which is one of the main substances in the ritual of embalming
the Pharaoh in Egypt in the centuries before Christ, came from a small
village called Barus who was in the middle of the west coast of Sumatra.
From
this meeting of European civilization to know if there is one area in
the south of the globe that is rich with natural resources, that does
not exist anywhere in the world.The
country was filled with rubber, pepper and other spices, other than
that of Europe as well kiss the gold and precious stones that are stored
in the stomach. The land is very friendly climate, and nature is very beautiful. This area that we now know the name of the archipelago. Hearing all this wealth of Europe is very eager to find all the things that has not been acquired.Pope
Alexander VI in 1494 gave the church an official mandate to the Kingdom
of the Catholic Portuguese and Spanish through the Treaty of
Tordesillas. Given this agreement, Pope Alexander to arbitrarily divide the world outside of mainland Europe into two plots to annexed. Tordesilas
demarcation line in the agreement that followed the circle of latitude
of the Cape Verde Islands, beyond the two poles of the earth. This gives the New World is now called the Americas to Spain. Africa and India handed over to the Portuguese.Pope demarkasinya line shifts eastward as far as 1170 kilometers from Cape Verde Islands. Brazil also fell to the Portuguese. European foray path eastwards far into the archipelago was divided into two. Spanish and Portuguese sailed to the West to the East, the two finally met in the Moluccas, the Banda Sea. Previously,
if two competing center of power that reproduce exactly the treasure
robbery meet at one point then they will fight, but when you meet in the
Moluccas, the Portuguese and Sanyol try to refrain.On
5 September 1494, Spain and Portugal made agreements Saragossa that
determine the anti-meridian, or line connections on a semi-circle which
went on line 1170 kilometers from Cape Verde. The line is located to the east of the Maluku islands, around Guam.Since then, Portugal and Spain managed to bring a lot of spices from the voyage. Across Europe to hear it and start the race to also send a fleet to new lands in the south.When
the European naval expedition sent to discover new worlds,
understanding between trade, warfare, and the spread of Christianity
there was virtually no difference. The mission of this European imperialism until we now know as the "Three G": Gold, Glory, Gospel. All authorities, kings, traders, which is in the southern European country talking about the very wealthy.They are vying to reach the archipelago of the various pathways. Unfortunately,
it was not there a map of sea voyages in full and contains detailed
route from Europe to the region known as the East Indies Europe. Map of European nations has just reached the mainland India, while the area on the east side was still dark.Compared to Spanish, Portuguese is superior in many ways. Portuguese
sailors who are runaway leaders Templar (and founded the Knights of
Christ), with strict maps attempt to conceal their latest shows sea
routes to Southeast Asia.The maps then the thing most wanted by many kings and merchants of Europe. But
like the saying goes, "smart-smart squirrel jump, eventually falling
too", then so are the maps held secret Portuguese sailors.A number of Dutch people who have worked long on the Portuguese sailors know this. One of them named Jan Huygen van Linschoten. In
1595 he published a book called Oost ofte Itinerario naer Portugaels
Indien, Travel Guide to the East or Portuguese Indies, which includes a
variety of maps and very detailed deksripsi cruise lines that made the
Portuguese to the East Indies, complete with all its problems.Books that sell well in Europe, but of course this is not like Portuguese. The nation held a grudge on the Dutch people. Thanks
to this van Linschoten, the Dutch finally know a lot of the problems
faced by the Portuguese in the new region and also the secrets of the
ship and the voyage track.The
entrepreneurs and the Dutch authorities to build and refine maritime
fleet ships immediately, so that they can plunder the world's wealthy
south, and not inferior to other European kingdoms.In 1595 the Dutch sent a first expedition to the archipelago called the East Indies. This
expedition consisted of four ships with 249 crew led by Cornelis de
Houtman, a Dutchman who has long worked on the Portuguese in Lisbon. Approximately
one year later, in June 1596, de Houtman landed at the port of Bantam
which is the main port of the pepper trade of Java, then along the north
coast, stopping at Sedayu, Madura, and others. De Houtman very poor leadership.He behaved arrogant and arbitrary besikap on indigenous people and also against fellow European traders. A
number of conflicts caused him to lose a lot of boat and crew, so when
it landed in the Netherlands in 1597, leaving him only three boats and
89 crew. However, the three ships full of spices and other valuable objects.Dutch
people think, if a de Houtman who is not capable to lead the course can
earn that much, especially if led by a man and a fleet that is far
superior. The return of the team de Houtman cause a burning passion in many Dutch merchants to follow in his footsteps. Houtman trail followed by dozens or even hundreds of Dutch merchants sent their fleets to the East Indies.
