Definition von java man im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

A purported species of primate, a supposed ancient descendant of human beings, given the scientific name Pithecanthropus erectus

Pithecanthropus. Common name of fossilized Homo erectus remains found in 1891 at Trinil, Java. The remains, a skullcap and thighbone, represent the first known fossils of H. erectus (though originally assigned to Pithecanthropus erectus) and, together with numerous other finds along the Solo River, suggest that H. erectus was present in eastern Asia some 1,000,000 years ago and persisted there for at least 500,000 years and possibly as long as 800,000 years. Java man predates the finds at Zhoukoudian (Peking Man) in China and is considered somewhat more primitive

fossil remains found in Java; formerly called Pithecanthropus erectus a type of primitive man who lived in Java in the Paleolithic Age
