Frau Selenka excavated the area around which this find was made and discovered only a crown of a human molar two miles away. A very similar find at a nearby location was made by GHR von Koenigswald, and it is often compared to the Turkana Boy. Some suspect that its supposed femur, found some fifty feet away, is an entirely different specimen. Found along the Solo River, it is often referred to as Trinil 2, and its discoverer Eugene Dubois initially called it Pithecanthropus erectus and insisted that it was an entirely new species, reburying it in anger at his critics. Now classified as Homo erectus, FTP, name this early human discovered on the Indonesian island that gives him his name.
