Trinil

Bank of the Solo river in Java where Eugène Dubois dug up a skullcap and a thighbone in 1891 and called them Pithecanthropus erectus - Java Man. They were the first early hominin remains found outside Europe, and they moved the search for human origins out of the continent that had assumed it owned the question.
