Solo man

Japanese: ソロ人 - ソロじん(英語表記)Solo man
Solo man
Also called Homo soloensis . A fossil human discovered on the river terrace of the Solo River in central Java. Eleven skulls and two tibiae were discovered by C. Haar in 1931-33 from the upper part of the Trinil Formation. According to research by F. Weidenreich, all of these have similar morphologies and are considered to belong to the same group. The skull is long, the bones are generally thick, the supraorbital ridge is developed, the attachment of the nuchal muscle is prominent, and the mastoid process is large. The average brain capacity is reported to be 1100 cm3 . Weidenreich and his colleagues considered this group of human bones to be a transitional stage from early man to archaic man. The age is thought to be the Late Pleistocene due to the large number of mammalian fossils that were found.

ホモ・ソロエンシス Homo soloensisともいう。ジャワ中部,ソロ川の河岸段丘で発見された化石人類。トリニール層の上方から,1931~33年に,C.ハールによって 11個の頭蓋と2個の脛骨が発見された。 F.ワイデンライヒの研究によると,これらはどれもよく似た形態をもっており,同一の集団に属するものと考えられる。頭蓋は長く,一般に骨は厚く,眼窩上隆起が発達し,項筋の付着部が突出し,乳様突起も大きい。脳容量は平均 1100cm3と報告されている。ワイデンライヒらは,この人骨群を原人から旧人への移行段階と考えた。時代は,多量に伴出した哺乳類化石によって後期更新世と考えられている。
