		Weidenreich also believed that the large longitudinal splits seen, for example, in some of the thighbones could only have been caused by humans and were probably made in an effort to extract the marrow.

		FRANZ WEIDENREICH, who died at his home in New York City on July 11, 1948 after a relatively brief illness, had already contributed immeasurably to the advancement of the science of man and was then engaged in the completion of one of the most significant of all his monographs.
		After a peaceful childhood Franz Weidenreich graduated from the Humanist Gymnasium in Landau, not far from the Rhine; he then spent six years in the study of medicine and allied science, at four great German universities, Munich, Kiel, Berlin and Strassburg, receiving his M.D. from the latter in 1899.
		Soon afterward Dr. Weidenreich received a letter from Dr. von Koenigswald stating that he had been confined for more than a year in a Japanese prison camp and that he, with his wife and young daughter, were then in a city which had been recently bombed by native forces.

		Early in 1939, von Koenigswald took several Javanese hominin specimens to Weidenreich in Peking, China.
		He published descriptions and assigned scientific names to some of von Koenigswald's discoveries, as he and others presumed that von Koenigswald was dead at the hands of the Japanese.
		After the war, von Koenigswald worked with Weidenreich at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for eighteen months.

	Modern Human Origins in a Historical Perspective
		Weidenreich was a proponent of the now-deceased concept of the single-species hypothesis.
		Weidenreich clearly accepted a Neanderthal phase for modern human evolution in the same vein as Hrdlicka, which begs the question of why these two very prominent researchers that were posing similar criticisms of the replacement argument had very little historical impact on the development of the replacement/continuity debate.
		Weidenreich spent his later years (when he dealt specifically with fossil man and human evolution) working in the museum environment, and Hrdlicka spent his entire career in the Smithsonian.

		These excellent, highly detailed casts were prepared by Dr. Franz Weidenreich and his colleagues just prior to the tragic loss of the original fossils during WWII.
		These casts, the reference set of which were officially presented to the American Museum of Natural History in 1941, are all that remains of the original Zhoukoudian fossil humans.
		Since Weidenreich had previously constructed a female skull from fragmented parts, our interest was to create a male skull, for which more elements are actually available.

	Human Ancestors Hall: Weidenreich Reconstruction
		This reconstruction, which was done by Franz Weidenreich, is one of several of "Sinanthropus pekinensis" or "Peking Man", based on the finds from Zhoukoudian, China.
		In the 1930s, fossils of about 40 individuals were excavated from the cave sites, and these finds were extensively studied by Weidenreich and his assistant Lucile Swan.
		Anticipating the invasion of China by Imperial Japan, Weidenreich made extremely accurate casts of all the Zhoukoudian material, including the 5 skull caps and other associated cranial pieces.

		Franz Weidenreich replaced him and studied the fossils until leaving China in 1941.
		The illustration above is of a reconstruction done by Franz Weidenreich, based on bones from at least four different individuals (none of the fossils were this complete).
		Most creationists have considered the Peking Man fossils to be those of apes, or, even more improbably, monkeys, but in recent years the view of Lubenow that they were humans has been gaining ground.

	The Supposed Evolution of the Human Skull
		On the one hand we had modern types in levels earlier than those in which their supposed ancestors were to be found; and on the other hand in some of the very latest levels, primitive types which "belonged" at the very beginning of the series.
		Weidenreich was of the opinion that for some unknown reason, man's brain suddenly began to increase in size.
		But Weidenreich's argument is based essentially on the fact that if we rather arbitrarily draft a series of skulls, in this case the gorilla, Pithecanthropus, and modern man, and in a side view impose upon them as indicated in Fig.

	The Ape that Was
		Meanwhile, however, Weidenreich, who had retreated from Beijing to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, set about studying plaster casts of the four teeth.
		specimens from Java, Weidenreich came up with the notion that there had been a period of gigantism in human evolution, and that modern humans were the diminutive descendants of these giants.
		The discovery of the jaws resolved, at least for most scientists, any doubts that the creature was apelike and not, as Weidenreich had argued, humanlike.

	Review: The Bone Peddlers
		Gigantopithecus: again, it's misleading to describe this as 'dropped by most anthropologists', because it had never been adopted by them in the first place.
		Weidenreich was probably the only anthropologist who ever thought Gigantopithecus had anything to do with human evolution.
		Zinjanthropus: it was indeed displaced by Homo habilis within a few years of its discovery, but even before then it had never been considered to be a human ancestor by anyone but Louis Leakey.

		In "Apes, Giants, and Man", published in 1946, Franz Weidenreich argued that Gigantopithecus was a human ancestor—a giant human ancestor—but an ancestor nonetheless, and his theories were widely accepted for a number of years until fossil evidence that could disprove him was be unearthed.
		Weidenreich drew alot of conclusions from a few fossilized teeth.
		In "Apes, Giants, and Man", published in 1946, paleoanthropologist Franz Weidenreich argued that the Gigantopithecus teeth were humanlike, and that von Koenigswald had been mistaken in considering the animal an ape rather than a member of the human family tree.

		His work was taken over by the anatomist Franz Weidenreich (1875-1948), who made casts of the growing number of hominid fossils.
		With Japanese invasions in 1937 he stored the fossils in a bank vault, but was not permitted to remove them from China when World War II broke out.
		The accurate casts, however, including a relatively large sample of six skulls, permitted Weidenreich’s (1943) detailed identification of Sinanthropus pekinensis.
