Question

Homo erectus erectus is scientific name of-
(a)Java man
(b)Peking man
(c)Cro-magnon man
(d)Neanderthal man

Answer 1

Hint: It is an early human fossil found on the Isle of Indonesia in 1891 and 1892. Estimated to be between 700,000 and 1,000,000 years old, it was the oldest hominid fossil ever discovered at the time of its discovery, and remains the genus of Homo erectus.

Complete answer:
Java man- extinct hominin (a member of the human lineage) known from fossil remains found on the island of Java, Indonesia. The first documented fossils of the species Homo erectus were skullcap and femur (thighbone) discovered by the Dutch anatomist and geologist Eugène Dubois in the early 1890s.
Dubois migrated to SouthEast Asia in the intention of discovering a modern man's ancestor. After looking for fossils on Sumatra Island, he moved to Java in 1890. In August 1891, with the aid of two army sergeants and a number of convict workers, he started working along the Solo River in Trinil. The skullcap emerged in October, and the femur was later retrieved from the same pit. With partial cranium as evidence for a small brain and a modern-looking femur as a sign of upright posture, Dubois was able to suggest that he had discovered a "missing link," an intermediate organism in its evolutionary position between apes and humans. Dubois had originally identified his discovery as Pithecanthropus erectus.

Additional Information: Peking Man is a group of fossil specimens of Homo erectus, dated approximately 750,000 years ago, discovered during excavations in Zhoukoudian near Beijing , China, in 1929–37.
Cro-Magnon ma-, the early Homo sapiens (the genus of which modern humans belong) who lived around 40,000 years ago. Skeletal remains and related artefacts of the Aurignacian civilization were first discovered in Les Eyzies, Dordogne, France, in 1868.
Neanderthals- are an extinct group or subspecies of prehistoric humans living in Eurasia up to around 40,000 years ago. They became most likely extinct due to competition or extermination by immigrating early modern European humans, or due to major climate change, disease, or a combination of these factors.
So, the correct answer is ‘java man’.

Note: Peking Man postdates Java man and is considered more advanced in having greater cranial ability, forehead, and non-overlapping canines.Both Peking Man and Java Man are now known as Homo erectus members, while Java Man, at about 1.5 to 0.4 million years, contains fossils, at about 0.7 to 0.4 million years, that are substantially older than Peking Man.
