Wow, very interesting. As far I know the large primate in Java was the Megantropus (a type of large Australopithecus), I will read the document for more information.

Thank you for sharing.

Edit: I allready checked the document, and although it is not in English, the summary provide the conclution and the graphics show that the new specimens are closer to the Gigantopithecus than to the other primates. Only in the graphic 6 is that one of the new specimens match with Australopithecus, but all the others shows a clear affinity with Gigantopithecus.

It is possible to you to tell me in what period are dated those fossils? I tried to search it in the document but I can't found it. This is in order to know if this primate shared its habitat with Panthera tigris trinilensis or Panthera tigris soloensis, or maybe the modern Panthera tigris sondaica.

The Wanhsien tiger could live much earlier than we previously thought; from middle Early-Pleistocene to early Middle-Pleistocene.

The skull also looked too fossilized to be something from the Late-Pleistocene. Reply
