Note 170 — VI HUMAN HISTORY

Dubois, Pithecanthropus erectus: eine menschenähnliche Übergangsform aus Java. Dubois has published several other papers and the literature is very large. The earlier literature has been summarized by Klaatsch (Zoologisches Centralblatt, vol. vi, 1899, p. 217), and by Schwalbe (Zeit. für Morph. und Anth., Bd. I, 1899, p. 16). For a concise account see Duckworth, Morphology and Anthropology, pp. 510 ff. The remains consist of the upper portion of a skull, a left femur, a second left upper molar, a third right upper molar and a second left lower pre-molar. The last tooth was not found by Dubois but by subsequent excavators. The skull and the femur were not found together but some fifty feet apart. The attribution of all the remains to one individual is, however, probably justified.
