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?

Sorry about the delay.
I'm afraid that opening posts needs a bit more in it.
For one thing you will need refrences to information about this H. Erectus subspecies.
I think I can predict the outcome of the discussion already but if you supply references I'll promote this to, what?, Human Origins?
The outcome will be that there is not good support for the existance of the big guys. They are crank science. That's just my prediction but if you are willing to take this on and support it then have fun.

I'll watch for it...
although my kids are either starving or eating the cat while I wait. But that's only fair since you were patient before.

Re: I'll watch for it...
Thanks for waiting. I believe the Human Origins forums would be a good place for this.

an actual link please
See the help next to dbcodes on (on the left when you re editing) for how to format a nice link.
It will save others time if you do that. I think you will need (but we'll get to that) a more primary reference than wikipedia but that is somewhere for people to start.
