Ancient Humans in Indonesia
Of course we all already know that ancient humans have many races and tribes respectively. While sitting in school a lesson about early man became one of the material in history lesson. Apart from a controversy stating that humans are created from the kerayangmana embraced in the theory of evolution, even so you can make ten types of early humans in Indonesia.
Generally, early humans are divided into three groups, including Homo (intelligent human), Meganthropus (large man), Pitecanthropus (ape man walking upright). There are several places in Indonesia that became the location of the discovery of these valuable fossils. And these places have been assigned as well as the development of the region in the country of Indonesia. And the types of early humans and inventors we can see in the following reviews which have been quoted from more than one source.
However, it should also be borne in mind that this review is not an ethical foundation nor is it devoted to scientific interest, it is only an opinion and also a personal opinion that we hope to be able to provide benefits to all of us. Here are the types of early humans as well as discoverers:
Meganthropus Palaeojavanicus
The physical characteristics of early humans from Indonesia differ from other ancient human species scattered throughout the world. In that era, the fossil is found a lot of fossils that conditions resemble western people.
Therefore, when archaeologists have found a different fossil from past discoveries, it has aroused the scientific excitement of archaeologists in exploring the fossils of early humans found in Indonesia.
Scientists estimate that this ancient man has lived about a million and two million years ago. It is also evidenced from the fossil condition by using decay techniques with carbon. This makes the scientists can estimate the age of these fossils.
And in the presence of such a part-time trait, there are many fossils, rocks and other elements that we can estimate. Even with the age of our beloved Earth it can be estimated using half-life rather than carbon elements in materials or substances. Meganthropus Palaeojavanicus has the following characteristics:
Pitecanthropus Erectus
Pitecanthropus has the following characteristics:
It has physical features that are upright and also possibly about the magnitude estimated to be the greatest of the time. and with a small brain size when compared with other creatures then it has obtained a result that is quite surprising that while in a state of collecting food and also the need for pregnancy, there is also a trail that shows the existence of a group meeting, water finger jangkah.
Pitecanthropus Soloensis
And early humans Pitecanthropus Erectus characterized as follows:
Pitecanthropus Mojokertensis
Without having to know the image of this type of early humans, of course we already know immediately that Eungene Dubois has found it in the area of Mojokerto, so he called that fossil findings it is a great discovery in this century. But unfortunately, the process of excavation that they do in the area of Mojokerto is inevitably has damaged the fossil bone.
This resulted in some parts of the fossil being destroyed so that there are some details that did not work to be saved perfectly. And all types of ancient men who exist in Indonesia has become an insight for themselves as well as teaching materials at school.
In general the physical characteristics of early humans from Indonesia do not have much difference with the characteristics of modern humans. Hopefully it can be useful for you all and can also add useful insights with you reading this paper. We need to reiterate that the content we have written does not come from a literary scientific source. It will be more useful if the explanation of early humans, its types as well as all its explanations can be useful to you all.
Homo Floresiensis
Judging from its name we may be somewhat fooled, it is because the Dutch archaeologist did not call the ancient human fossils his findings with his own name, but instead use the name of the place where he found it. And the other name of Homo may be interpreted as a matter of sexual inclination among men.
Homo Wajakensis
In a place called Wajak, which, when depicted near the area Tulungagung in East Jwa, in 1889 Eungene Dubois talah find an original human fossils from Indonesia. And the discovery is an important discovery, because it seems to have found a piece of puzzle that has been lost which proves the relationship of humans and apes. The fossils of ancient human origin of Indonesia has become a bridge that connects it. Similarly, a Darwinian theory has been put forward in his book The Descent of Man or the origin of man.
Homo Soloensis
It is an ancient human type of homo that has been found fossilnya in Solo area of Central Java. Who are the people or archaeologists who have done research on early humans in the territory of Indonesia? Certainly the most popular are Eungene Dubois, then Van Koenigswald, then Weidereich. And here is a description of the primordial human type of soloensis.
The bengawan river of Solo is a heart of primitive life that happened in the past. There are many findings in this area indicating an ancient human tendency to live with a proximity to a water source. which at that time the irrigation system has not been found to make it seem to be a compulsion on early humans to not far in giving an intervention. And having a dwelling by the river, it has provided an advantage to early humans.
Pitecanthropus Robustus
Early humans who have a large jaw shape are Pitecanthropus. By having a large jaw, the researchers estimate that this ancient human species like to eat plants. The function of the big jaw is that in the activity of chewing food will become easier and faster, it makes this nation prefer to live alone. Here are the features of early humans of Pitecanthropus Robustus type:
This ancient human type has put forward the mind rather than the instinct. This has been proved by the existence of many relics in the form of stones, axes and also many other tools that are used as a supporter of life every day.
Another point is at the discovery points of archaeologists, that the homo humans are not too close to the river, which indicates that they have made a place to live or a place to live in a nice place to live even though not near the river or other water sources .
Pitecanthropus Dubuis
When translated into a kind of ape man walking upright is a kind of dubious early humans. Because the fossils found in the Sangiran area but the skull structure and bone is not mutalk included in the physical characteristics of early humans pitecanthropus and meganthropus species. The findings and research of a Dutch archaeologist is an important finding. Although for some Indonesian citizens the excavations and expeditions are considered as coercion and also the occupation of rights.
Our citizens are also forced to be employed to become diggers. And according to historical records, many victims have fallen from the Indonesian nation, but in a cunning and neat way, the archaeologists from the Netherlands who diboyi by the colonial government, has managed to bring a propaganda in the form of fossil discovery of early humans of this type. so that it makes the working system in the expedition rodi excavation did not appear appointed in public. Due to the large number of findings in the area around the Bengawan Solo river, the researchers made the soil layer in the area into three layers:
And with these traits, Meganthropus has a strong and sturdy physical form. And also with the abundant amount of plants which is the main food. The researchers estimate the early humans of Meganthropus species to live in a group way and also tend to settle in a place. Changes in culture and social life is indeed not the same as in the present. But there is true and intense research, their lives can be predicted.
Coupled with a lot of support that is very influential for the Netherlands, it makes the Indonesian nation very difficult to realize independence. In solving the conflict between the Dutch and Indonesia does not only involve the two countries, but also various other countries.
Homo Sapiens
Early humans of this type can be interpreted with intelligent humans. They are from the holozen era. They have a body shape that has resembled the human body shape of Indonesia in the present day. In those days, early humans of this type have had the structure of an organization and also the division of tasks. Based on the research, not only physical form, but also with their social life we can review. And of course with the enactment of research intense and in the long term.
This ancient human homo sapiens type refers if humans are creatures that have an advantage over reason. By studying this ancient human homo sapiens type, our lives can all grow in experience and treasures with a particular product. And the characteristics of early humans of this type are:
With us reading the above specifications, therefore we can know that the ancient man type homo sapiens have used his mind. Although still in simple terms, but these early humans have had the characteristics of hunting. Not only in collecting foods like other types. This ancient human homo sapiens has also shown that the Indonesian nation has a great variety of cultures and races as well.
With the green theory of evolution in the present era, it appears that ape humans are a human kind but also different in race. It is the same with Asian, European and African races. Even fellow citizens from Asian countries also have a variety of cultures and many races. Here are the characteristics of the ancestral race of humans:
So are the ten ancient human species that exist in Indonesia that still remain in the National Museum.
