Located in the middle reaches of the Solo River in central Java, Indonesia, this is the first site of Pithecanthropus (Homo erectus erectus). In 1891, the Dutchman Dubois discovered a skull on a sandbank in the Solo River that flows through Trinil village. In 1892, he discovered a left femur 15 meters away from the site of the skull, and in 1994 reported these animal fossils as Pithecanthropus erectus. In 1907-08, the German scientist Selenka systematically investigated the strata on both sides of the sandbank, revealing the fauna and flora of the Trinil Formation (Middle Pleistocene) with stegodonts as type fossils, laying the foundation for subsequent research on Javanese Pleistocene humans in Sangiran, central Java.

インドネシア、ジャワ島中部、ソロ川中流域に位置する、ピテカントロプス(ホモ・エレクトゥス・エレクトゥス)の最初の出土地。1891年オランダのデュボアが、トリニール村を流れるソロ川の中州から頭骨を発見した。92年、頭骨出土地点から15メートル離れた地点で左大腿(だいたい)骨を発見し、94年にこれらの動物化石をピテカントロプス・エレクトゥスとして報告。1907~08年にドイツのセレンカが、中州を挟む両側の地層を組織的に調査し、ステゴドンゾウなどを標式化石とするトリニール層(中部更新世)の動物相、植物相を明らかにし、その後のジャワ島中部サンギランにおけるジャワ島更新世人類の研究の基礎を築いた。 [青柳洋治] 『鈴木尚著『化石サルから日本人まで』(岩波新書)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
