Beschreibung

Rhodes, the chief of Greece's Dodecanese archipelago, stands as the historic capital of the cluster. The island operates as a separate municipality within the regional unit of Rhodes, a constituent part of the administrative sector of the South Aegean. Serving as both the largest town and the seat of the municipality is Rhodes.

To put it in perspective, in 2011, the population of the city of Rhodes was 50,636. It's located to the northeast of Crete and southeast of Athens. Rhodes has earned various monikers such as The Island of the Sun, paying homage to its patron sun god Helios, The Pearl Island, and The Island of the Knights, a nod to the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem who held sway over the island from 1310 to 1522.

An ancient marvel, the Colossus of Rhodes, part of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, graces the island's landscape. The Medieval Old Town of Rhodes has garnered
UNESCO's recognition as a World Heritage Site, solidifying its status as one of Europe's premier tourist destinations.

Around the 16th century BC, the Minoans made their presence known on Rhodes, and Greek mythology weaves tales of the Telchines, a native Rhodian race, linking the island with Danaus. It was often referred to as Telchinis. The Mycenaean Greeks entered the scene around the 15th century BCE, marking the end of the Bronze Age collapse, with initial external engagements involving Cyprus.

    The year 1968 was arguably the most significant year of the war. It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 
     
     
     
    1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships, and ARA was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. 
     
     
     
    It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company—it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

    The evolutionary path from the original primates to modern man is a long one and has taken many twists and turns, but naturally, as the fossil record grows, scientists gain a more complete understanding of our own mental and physical history in terms of genetics and anatomy. However, the correct order and relationships of the various specimen types are difficult to pin down. Many representative samples have been found in such minute amounts as to not preclude anomalies. They have been discovered in various stages of wear. Modern features did not occur simultaneously or uniformly, taking millions of years to become manifest in later types. Up to the present day’s Homo sapiens, examples of the main types have been hybrids of older and more modern features. 
    	One of the earliest species of the genus Homo to be discovered is Homo habilis, which basically means “handy man.” The name comes from the belief at the time of its discovery that this species was the first to start using stone tools. The first fossils to be uncovered in Olduvai Gorge were from the same stratigraphic layer as simple stone tools. Fossils of the crania and postcranial skeleton for this species have been found in both eastern and southern Africa and date to around 2.5–1.6 million years ago.  
    	Features of Homo erectus suggest an evolution toward modern humans, and the features which separate Homo erectus from the other Homo species are found in the skull. The size of the brain was approximately 900 cc, making it larger than the brain size of Homo habilis. Homo erectus would not have the largest brain capacity of the Homo genus during its existence, with the emergence of Homo heidelbergensis approximately 800,000 years ago. The larger brain size may not matter much when the size of the brain is considered with the size of the body, which also increased.
