Palaeoanthropologists Eugene Dubois (centre,standing) and Sir Arthur Keith (top left),photographed at Cambridge in 1898. In 1892-3 Dubois collected the skull cap & thigh bone of a hominid fossil,which he named Pithecanthropus erectus,meaning erect ape-man,later renamed Homo erectus. More popularly called Java Man,from its origins in the sands of the Solo River,Central Java,Homo erectus was the most widespread and longest-surviving of all the fossil hominids. Keith et al refused to endorse Dubois' assertion of Homo erectus as a link between apes & humans. A piqued Dubois is reported to have hidden the bones under his dining-room floorboards | |
