Abstract
DAVIDSON BLACK had remarked on the great similarity between the first skull of Sinanthropus to be found and the Pithecanthropus skull of Trinil, a condition which induced him to see in Pithecanthropus a Hominid form closely related to Sinanthropus (1931). The additional finds of the latter, unearthed in the interval, have confirmed Black's interpretation in every respect. But on the other hand, since the Pithecanthropus finds remained restricted to that rather incomplete specimen of Trinil, absolute evidence for his true Hominid character was lacking. In such circumstances, there was no other way open but to await the discovery of additional Pithecanthropus material before definitely solving this problem.
