Preferred term

Meganthropus  

Definition

  • In 1949, based on the large size of a single mandible, G. H. R. von Koenigswald named a new hominid genus Meganthropus. Today there is no agreement among the authorities concerning the taxonomic status of the mandibular specimens that have been assigned to the genus “Meganthropus.” Despite morphological differences related mostly to extreme size, most authorities have assigned these mandibles to a proposed highly sexually dimorphic population of earlyHomo erectus in Java.
