BUT GETTING IT OUT IS A "MOST IMPORTANT DISCOV ERY SINCE 1892," CLAIM Represents Nature's Discarded Experiment in Forming Hnmans, Claim WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. (AP) Interest and. importance attached to the discovery near Trinil, in Central Java, of a com plete skull of the Pithecanthropus Erectus lies in the fact that it rep resents to scientists the farthest reach of the genus homo of which man is the only living representa tive, into antiquity. Scientists at the Smithsonian in stitute, who were deeply interest ed in the reported discovery, ex plained that Fithecanthropus had lived approximately half a million years ago and was not man or a direct ancestor of man. They re gard him as a biological cousin of the human race many degrees closer than any of the man-like apes of the present, aud frequent ly characterized as one of "na ture's discarded experiments in making man." Pithocanthropus possessed by no means tbe brain of man, but was a brainer creature than any of the apes, and the actual an cestor of man is believed to have been a creature very similar to Pithecanthropus, scientists hold. Dr. Ales Hardllnka, head of the Smithsonian department of physi cal anthropology, who a year ago visited the upper water of the Solo river in search of pre-human bones, said the discovery, if as represented, is the "most import ant in the field of physical anthro pology since Dubois' original dis covery of the skull cap and thigh bones of Pithecanthropus in 1892.
