2. A genus consisting of an primate ({P. erectus}) apparently
intermediate between man and the existing anthropoid apes,
known from bones of a single individual found in Java
(hence called {Java man}) in 1891-92. These bones include
a thigh bone of the human type, two molar teeth
intermediate between those of man and the anthropoids, and
the calvaria of the skull, indicating a brain capacity of
about 900 cubic centimeters, and resembling in form that
of the Neanderthal man. Also [pl. {-thropi}], an animal of
this genus. -- {Pith`e*can"thrope}, n. --
