	Homo erectus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Homo erectus ("upright man") is a hominin species that is believed to be an ancestor of modern humans (with Homo heidelbergensis usually treated as an intermediary step).
		Homo erectus would bear a striking resemblance to modern humans, but had a brain about 74 percent of the size of modern man. These early hominids were tall, on average standing about 1.79 m (5 feet, 10 inches) tall.
		Homo erectus (along with Homo ergaster) was probably the first early human to fit squarely into the category of a hunter and predator and not as prey for larger animals.

	Pithecanthropus erectus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pithecanthropus erectus was the name first given to the Homo erectus specimen, also known as Java Man, by its discoverer Eugène Dubois.
		Many scientists of the day even suggested that Dubois' Java Man might have been the so-called "missing link", the creature that is supposed to provide the evolutionary connection between the apes and modern man. However, due to 19th Century scepticism, this theory was never credited to Dubois.
		"Pithecanthropus Erectus" is also the title of an album by Charles Mingus.

		He named his discovery Pithecanthropus erectus believing that the specimens represented a human ancestor that was too primitive to be included in the genus Homo.
		Pithecanthropus means 'ape-man', and the species name erectus reflects the very human-like femur which told Dubois that this early human ancestor walked upright.
		New dates suggest that Homo erectus reached Java sometime between 1.8 and 1.6 million years ago, and a Homo erectus mandible from Dmanisi in the Georgian Republic is believed to be of a similar age.

	Homo erectus
		Homo erectus has thick vault bones, the area over the eye sockets protrude quite prominently into the supraorbital (brow) ridges, the occipital region of the skull has a horizontal ridge known as the occipital torus, and the area along the sagital suture is raised into a low keel, called a sagital keel.
		Pithecanthropus erectus ("ape-man") was the name Dubois gave to this new species.
		The evidence for the use of fire is found at Zhoukodian in the form of pieces of charcoal, charred bones, and fire cracked rocks and at excavations in Koobi Fora and Chesowanja in Kenya in the form of fire hardened clay (which dated to 1.4 million years ago).

		Others believe that the material previously attributed to erectus should be split into several different taxons: Asian and later African material remaining as erectus (with erectus not contributing to modern humans), early African material as ergaster, and European material as heidelbergensis.
		Homo erectus (or the various species which may be subsumed under that appellation) are extremely important in the study of modern human origins.

		Over the eyes is a large and prominent browridge, or supraorbital torus, which joins the rest of the frontal bone at a depression called the sulcus.
		The species Homo erectus is thought to have diverged from Homo ergaster populations roughly 1.6 million years ago, and then spread into Asia.
		This would mean that at least one population of Homo erectus in Java was a contemporary of modern humans (Homo sapiens).

	Homo erectus
		Homo erectus is a hominid species that is believed to be an ancestor of modern humans.
		Homo erectus would bear a striking resemblance to modern humans, but had a brain about 74 percent of the size of modern man. These early humans were tall, on average standing about 1.78 m (5 feet, 10 inches) tall.
		Regardless, it can at least be surmised that the controlled use of fire was atypical of Homo erectus until its decline and the rise of more advanced species of the Homo genus came to the forefront.

		As well, Homo erectus was the first species to discover the use of fire, which allowed the migration of the sepcies to more northerly positions on the earth.
		The regions of the cold north were not habited by Homo erectus, but this species was highly adaptable to survive in a variety of habitats, form the heat of Africa to the chill of central China, thanks mostly to the fire before mentioned as a means of warmth and food preparation.
		No bones of Homo erectus have been found in sites of deliberate burials; their remians are usually found in the same condition as and mixed with animal bones.

		The reason that the page is in titled Pithecanthropus Erectus is because for Decathlon we had to learn about Jazz, and one of the Musicians was Charles Mingus.
		A man now known as Eugene Dubois was a surgeon, anthropologist, anatomist and paleontologist who earned worldwide fame through his discovery of Pithecanthropus erectus (now called Homo erectus), the "upright, ape-man of Java."; Dubois was intent on finding the "missing link";, the evolutionary connection between apes and modern humans.
		In 1891, while digging into fossil rich ash and river sediments in Java, he found Pithecanthropus erectus (the name means "ape-human which stood upright" [literal translation]) Dubois was scorned for his find and his belief that he had found the missing link.

		They even proposed that Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus were only subspecies of a single species, Homo erectus, though they continued to used the original generic names as labels.
		From 1950 to 1964, various influential authorities in paleoanthropology agreed that Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus were too similar to be placed in two different genera; and, by the late 1960s, the concept of Homo erectus was widely accepted.
		Traditionally, Homo erectus has been credited as being the prehistoric pioneer, a species that left Africa about 1 million years ago and began to disperse throughout Eurasia.

	Homo erectus 'to' modern man: evolution or human variability?
		With the discovery of Java and Peking Homo erectus fossils (the former was previously called Pithecanthropus erectus, and Peking Man was originally named Sinanthropus pekinensis), in 1891-1893 and 1927-1937 respectively, evolutionary theory received a considerable and much-needed boost.
		erectus forms are still on the 'road' from ape to human, the morphological distinctions between all human-type forms are insufficient to justify a separate species classification for erectus - that is, that all post-habiline forms (erectus, archaic and modern sapiens plus the Neanderthals), could be subsumed into a single species -H.
		The erectus skull ER 3733 shows a marked jump up to 66°, indicating that all the previous ancestors had ape-faces and no progression is seen through the australopithecines and 'habilis.' The angle of two habiline specimens is exactly the same as that of africanus and boisei.

	Early Human Evolution: Homo ergaster and erectus
		Homo erectus was a very successful human species, lasting at least 1.5 million years, though their numbers apparently remained relatively low.
		As a consequence, the frontal and temporal lobes of their brains were narrower, suggesting that they would have had somewhat lower mental ability.
		Homo erectus teeth were generally intermediate between modern humans and the australopithecines in shape and size.

	Was Java Man a gibbon?
		"Pithecanthropus [Java Man] was not a man, but a gigantic genus allied to the gibbons, however superior to the gibbons on account of its exceedingly large brain volume and distinguished at the same time by its faculty of assuming an erect attitude and gait [2].
		This is shown by the Homo erectus skeleton WT 15000, discovered in Kenya in 1984.
		As it turned out, Dubois was correct in saying that Pithecanthropus was bipedal, even though the femur that he used as evidence of bipedality is no longer thought to belong to the same creature as the skull cap.

		Dubois named the creature Pithecanthropus erectus, which means "erect ape-man" whom he considered to be the missing link between apes and humans.
		Later the name was changed to Homo erectus, because of its incredibly humanlike physical attributes and "its evolutionary proximity to Homo sapiens, the species of modern humans".
		Although there is evidence that there was considerable cultural growth among Homo erectus, their bones have never been found in deliberate burials; their bones have been found in the same condition and mixed in with animal bones.

		Pithecanthropus Erectus was Charles Mingus [+]'; breakthrough as a leader, the album where he established himself as a composer of boundless imagination and a fresh new voice that, despite his ambitiously modern concepts, was firmly grounded in jazz tradition.
		Mingus truly discovered himself after mastering the vocabularies of bop and swing, and with Pithecanthropus Erectus he began seeking new ways to increase the evocative power of the art form and challenge his musicians (who here include altoist Jackie McLean [+] and pianist Mal Waldron [+]) to work outside of convention.
