The paleoanthropologist Milford Wolpoff is best known as one of the architects of the Multiregional evolution theory of human development, which holds that human beings evolved as a single species throughout the globe and could count among their ancestors such hominids as Homo erectus and Neanderthals. As Multigerionalism's most vocal defender, Wolpoff is quoted or cited in New York Times, Newsweek, New Scientist, and Discover, among other publications.

Kent Beck, computer programmer
Article Abstract:
Computer programmer Kent Beck is renowned for the creation of the Extreme Programming (XP) process for software development. A fundamental aspect of XP is the idea of pair programming which, Beck feels, leads to higher-quality code that requires less time to test and debug and makes the code more transparent to the programmers who later need to maintain the software.
