	Meganthropus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meganthropus is a name commonly given to several large jaw and skull fragments from Sangiran, Central Java.
		The original scientific name was Meganthropus paleojavanicus, and while it is very uncommonly considered valid today, the genus name has survived as a sort of formal nickname for the fossils.
		Meganthropus has been the target of numerous extreme claims, none of which are supported by peer-reviewed authors.

	Meganthropus
		Based on scant, but adequate, existing fossilized remains, Homo erectus meganthropus has been estimated to have stood roughly 9 feet tall and wieghed roughly 750 to 1000 pounds.
		Remains of this subspecies, remnants of its cranium, lower jaw, and femur, have been estimated to be roughly 1 million years old.
		Although once not considered to be of the Homo genus due to its seemingly improbable size for a hominid, Meganthropus remains were found along with tools normally associated with the Acheulean era, but of great size, making it difficult to refute the intelligence of the titanic hominid.

	Meganthropus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Its full name in binomial nomenclature is Homo erectus palaeojavanicus although it was once called Meganthropus palaeojavanicus.
		Meganthropus is a good example of the great variation that existed in the Homo erectus line that is only equalled among representatives of the Homo genus by the similar variations found in modern humans.
		Its remains were discovered in Indonesia and in Australia where another subspecies of Homo erectus, Homo erectus soloensis, has also been discovered.

		Meganthropus is the giant Java man who inhabited Southeast Asia over a million years ago.
		Java man was found with stone implements consisting of hand axes, clubs, pounders, adzes, knives, and other tools often ranging in weight from 8 to 36 lbs or more.

		Their main diagnostic distinction from the family Pongidae is bipedal (erect, orthograde), locomotion, with all the correlative features in the structure of the body, head, limbs, and internal organs.
		"Meganthropus" is also normally included in the human family, but the reason for not including Gigantopithecus is, I think, its probable phylogenetic relationship with Pongo and the dryopithecines from the Miocene of Asia.
		Furthermore, his contention that Australopithecus and Meganthropus, and by implication all hominids prior to H. sapiens, lacked the higher cerebral functions allowing speech and reason is speculative.

		The palate and dentition are intact and are within the size range found for the "Meganthropus" type specimen and outside the range of known H. erectus specimens.
		"Meganthropus" may be valid and represent an additional hominid species in Southeast Asia.
		Even if Meganthropus was hobbit-sized it could've been a sasquatch ancestor if sas' great size was a more recent development.

		He seems to have made some connection between Bigfoot and Meganthropus, a beast that lived one and a half million years ago or so known from specimens in Java.
		Meganthropus seem to be an archaic form of Homo, but it exact place in the Homo line is not known.
		The method of locomotion for Gigantopithicus is not entirely certain, as no pelvis or leg bone has been found, the only remains of Gigantopithicus discovered are teeth and mandible.

		There is no such thing as Gigantopithecus or Meganthropus, or any of the other hominids we have found.
		On the other side, several authors believe that they are merely the males of H. erectus, the alleged large size and robusticity being only due to early author's assumption that the females were males.
		There appears to be a consensus that there are some differences between Meganthropus and conventional H. erectus, but opinion is variable as to what the differences mean.

		Homo neanderthalensis and H. erectus have also been considered, but their body measures, well known through a wealth of findings, are a poor match for Bigfoot's massive figure.
		The usual Loren Coleman suggested a Meganthropus, a little known hominid genus described from two partial mandibles found in Java in the late '30s, but he is a late a comer as usual.
		Many anthropologists now consider Meganthropus an unusually oversized Homo erectus and, despite this, Meganthropus would still be too small to make a credible Bigfoot.

		This includes the Genus Australopithecus and the proposed genuses of Paranthropus, Meganthropus, and in an unusual move, the Genus Gigantopithecus, should this giant Orang utan-type ape prove to be mostly bipedal (Walking upright all or most of the time).
		The paranthropines evidenced by Meganthropus were Asian and were big but not as large as Gigantopithecus.
		Specificially, von Koenigswald found a jaw that was twice the size of a typical modern human mandible, and named the find Meganthropus palaeojavanicus ("giant man of ancient Java").

	Grover Krantz: Obituary
		He will most be remembered, however, as the foremost proponent of the theory that the survival of the giant ape Gigantopithecus, recently thought to be extinct, is the source of modern Sasquatch reports.
		He created the first reconstructions of the full skulls of Gigantopithecus and Meganthropus, as well as restoring various elements of understudied Homo erectus finds.
		During the late 1990s, Dr. Krantz became one of the major supporters, in academia and in court, for the preservation for study of the disputed Kennewick skull which he theorized might have a non-Native American origin.

	Rex Gilroy's Lifetime Yowie Research In Australia.1934
		It was across the former Asia-Australia land-bridge that Gigantopithecus, and also Meganthropus, the equally monstrous "Giant Java Man", were able to move southward, including other, smaller hominids, such as Homo erectus.
		Yet, for giant races like Meganthropus, and also Gigantopithecus, or even smaller hominids such as Homo erectus to have entered Australia during the Pleistocene, a land-bridge would have been necessary.
		I also argue that, while it would have been possible for giant races to enter Australia, some could have evolved here from smaller hominid forms, and it is possible that once established here, Homo erectus could have produced a giant form through genetic mutation.

		Furthermore, everything leads us to believe that they will all soon be discovered in Angola, to the west, as well as much further north across Rhodesia and into Tanganyika, where two upper premolars have been found.
		Remane has recently referred these to the genus Meganthropus of Java but, in my opinion, they should rather be classed with the Australopithecines than with the Pithecanthropines.
		Even if we take into account their high individual variability and their strong sexual dimorphism, the Australopithecines seem to have been an extremely polymorphous group.

		But it has long been recognized that if the fossil remains of early man are arranged according to their degree of primitiveness, the order will be found to contradict the series arranged on the basis of antiquity as established by the levels at which they are found."

		The notion that Meganthropus paleojavanicus is Paranthropus is an extreme minority viewpoint, in fact I don’t recall anyone supporting it after Krantz’s death.
		The Asian Meganthropus is agreed upon by the vast majority of Paleoanthropologists to be related to Homo erectus, but opinion varies as to how.
		I am under the impression that it is a subspecies, it is slightly larger than erectus, older, and has different features.
