Homo Erectus Palaeojavanicus and the origin of modern man

I will first state I am new to these forums. I have been reading the EvC forums for a while now to see both sides of this arguement. As I was researching the origin of modern man I came across Homo Erectus Palaeojavanicus.Palaeojavanicus was found by anthropologist Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald in 1934 at the Sangiran site on the island of java. The find was originally called Meganthropus. The remains where found along with remains of Java man (Pithecanthropus erectus).The finds of Palaeojavanicus consisted of a Cranium, Lower Jaw and Femur. Judging from the bones found Palaeojavanicus was 9 to 11 feet tall. Remains of Palaeojavanicus where found in Australia and Indonesia.There remains are found with Acheulean era tools of enormouse size.My information has been collected from Wikipedia. In the Annual Review of Anthropology Vol. 25: 275-301 (Volume publication date October 1996) THE FOSSIL EVIDENCE FOR HUMAN EVOLUTION IN ASIA Dennis A. Etler mentions the Palaeojavanicus findings. I have yet to find information refuting the findings of Palaeojavanicus, although it was hard to come by good evidence becuase of all the creationist and other misguiding information about it. My question is where does Homo Erectus Palaeojavanicus fit in with the evolution of humans?This message has been edited by SidRoc, 08-20-2005 09:00 PMThis message has been edited by SidRoc, 08-20-2005 10:13 PM

Waiting for a Admin to move this to the right board.

Alright I will edit it and add references and a little bit of more information.

Thanks for waiting. I believe the Human Origins forums would be a good place for this.

This find could easily be a group that was cut off from the Homo line. I am looking to find more information on this that is credible. There is enough evidence making the find credible but I have found little information on it. Science while aknowledging the existance hasnt made much of this find it would seem. One of the things I am trying to find information on is the reason they grew to be so large. There size compared to modern man is so completly different that it is a mystery to me as to why this find has not recieved more attention. Does anyone know any credible sources books, websites I might find more information on Palaeojavanicus?

I agree. I am very perplexed on why interest in this has not been directed more to it. The find has enough evidence, so why not more attention?
