Open Quo Fuit to see these 5 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Adolf Bastian and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Adolf Bastian was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1850year
Praguementioned“He finally settled on medicine and earned a degree from Prague in 1850.”source: Wikipedia: Adolf Bastian
1866 to 1869period
Berlinmentioned“He relocated to Berlin in 1866, where he became a member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1869.”source: Wikipedia: Adolf Bastian
1886year
American Philosophical Societymentioned“He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1886.”source: Wikipedia: Adolf Bastian
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
