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?
