Oh, the meganthropy!

Oh, the meganthropy!

Taxonomic confusion afflicts a hapless victim hunting for Homo erectus:

In the seeming middle-of-nowhere, we found a monumental, but rather neglected, concrete marker to another even earlier hominid, Meganthropus paleojavanicus, who lived there around 1.5 million years ago.

But it was all, it has to be said, a bit of an anti-climax.

A somewhat more helpful report on the Sangiran Museum can be found at Planet Mole.
