Cambridge, MA – At a time of tremendous economic growth and political transformation throughout
East Asia, the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University has announced a $20.5 million gift to launch an important new initiative designed to expand and strengthen the School’s support for policy research and educational programming in Asia.

The permanently endowed Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia will bring together academics and practitioners from around the world to enhance research, teaching and training on public policy and governance issues of critical importance in Asia. A separate gift also establishes a new Harvard Kennedy School Indonesia Program within the Institute, which will promote research, education and capacity building in support of democratic governance and institutional transformation in Southeast Asia. As the world’s largest majority Muslim country, Indonesia will continue to be an important model for positive institutional change.

Both the Institute and the Program will be housed within the newly renamed Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.

“The Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia at Harvard Kennedy School will create opportunities for Harvard scholars and students to work with people and institutions throughout the Asian continent,” said Harvard University President Drew Faust. “It will serve as a hub for policy research, education and dialogue on a region which continues to grow in political and economic influence.”

Hobbitt bones discovered in Indonesia
10/15/08

What does it mean to be human?

 The discovery of Homo floresiensis makes it much more likely
that stories of other mythical, human-like creatures
are founded on grains of truth.

 

FLORES MAN

It sounds too incredible to be true, but this is not a hoax.
A species of tiny human has been discovered, which lived on
the remote Indonesian island of Flores just 18,000 years ago.

Researchers have so far unearthed remains from eight individuals
who were just one metre tall, with grapefruit-sized skulls.
These astonishing little people, nicknamed 'hobbits', made tools,
hunted tiny elephants and lived at the same time as
modern humans who were colonizing the area.

News@nature.com tells the story of a find that changes the world of palaeoanthropology, and challenges our perception of what it means to be human.
