<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Ngandong_14._Homo_erectus.jpg|Ngandong 14. Homo erectus|thumb]] '''Solo Man''' refers to the fossilized remains of a prehistoric human discovered in the [[Ngandong]] region on the banks of the [[Solo River]] in [[Java]], [[Indonesia]]. These remains are significant in the study of human evolution and are classified under the species ''[[Homo erectus]]''.<br />
<br />
== Discovery ==<br />
The Solo Man fossils were discovered in the 1930s by a team of Dutch and Indonesian researchers. The site, located near the village of Ngandong, yielded a number of skull caps and other skeletal remains. These fossils are estimated to be between 550,000 and 143,000 years old, making them some of the most recent examples of ''Homo erectus''.<br />
<br />
== Physical Characteristics ==<br />
The remains of Solo Man exhibit typical ''Homo erectus'' features, including a low, elongated skull, prominent brow ridges, and a robust build. The cranial capacity of Solo Man is estimated to be around 1,100 cubic centimeters, which is within the range of modern humans but on the lower end.<br />
<br />
== Significance ==<br />
Solo Man is crucial for understanding the later stages of ''Homo erectus'' evolution and their eventual transition to modern humans, ''[[Homo sapiens]]''. The relatively recent age of the fossils suggests that ''Homo erectus'' may have coexisted with early modern humans in Southeast Asia.<br />
<br />
== Related Discoveries ==<br />
Other significant ''Homo erectus'' finds in Indonesia include the [[Java Man]] fossils discovered at [[Trinil]] and the [[Sangiran]] fossils. These discoveries collectively provide a comprehensive view of ''Homo erectus'' in the region.<br />
