Editorial by Michael Rose, Jonathan M. Hoffmann

“… In the early 1980s, Derek Parfit used the example of a 14-year-old girl to illustrate the "non-identity problem" (NIP). The girl was about to decide whether or not to conceive a child at her age, and Parfit argued that she would not make that particular child worse off by conceiving now (although giving him a bad start in life) as opposed to waiting a few years and heaving a child as a grown-up. …”

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893) by Valéry Zeitoun

“…This fact is due to the unequal number of homologous reference points present on each bone, to the difference of the complexity of each anatomical part and to the selection of the most discriminant parameters compared to modern humans taken as reference. The main illustration of the exposed process is proposed for a sample restricted to 35 specimens dealing with the case of Homo erectus.The choice of the specimens is guided by three main considerations:— Homo erectus and specimens affiliated to Homo erectus offering the largest amount of available information;— taxa affiliated to Homo habilis on the one hand and archaïc Homo sapiens on the other hand have been taken into account since the limits between the three taxa are not sharply cut.— a few fragmentary specimens, situated in the heart of numerous discussions taken from literature, have been added to the previously chosen specimens.A mixed coding of the states of characters is applied to the 35 specimens so defined. …”
