Poster Print : Java Man reconstruction
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Java Man reconstruction
Java Man reconstruction. Reconstruction of the head of Java Man (Pithecanthropus erectus), later renamed Homo erectus. Reconstructions of Java Man are based on hominid fossil remains, including a skull cap and complete femur (thighbone), found in 1898 during excavations lead by Eugene Dubois (1858-1940). They were found in sedimentary deposits at a bend of the Solo river in Central Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus is the most widespread and longest-surviving of all the fossil hominids. Its geographical spread included north and east Africa, Europe, Indonesia and China. It lived between 1 and 2 million years ago. Artwork from The Outline of Science (J. Arthur Thomson, 1922)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulous reconstruction of the head of Java Man, also known as Pithecanthropus erectus and later renamed Homo erectus. The detailed artwork is based on fossil remains discovered in 1898 during excavations led by Eugene Dubois along the Solo river in Central Java, Indonesia. These remains included a skull cap and complete femur, providing valuable insights into our ancient human ancestors. Homo erectus holds great significance in the field of paleoanthropology as it is the most widespread and longest-surviving fossil hominid species. Its presence spanned across various regions including north and east Africa, Europe, Indonesia, and China. This particular individual lived between 1 to 2 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. The artistry displayed in this illustration transports us back to prehistoric times when early humans roamed the Earth. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers glimpses into what life might have been like for these early inhabitants. Originally featured in "The Outline of Science" by J. Arthur Thomson in 1922, this image captures not only an important moment in scientific discovery but also represents a pivotal era within the history of science itself. Through this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, we are able to appreciate both the beauty and complexity involved in reconstructing our ancestral past while honoring those who dedicated their lives to unraveling humanity's origins.
