What travelers say:

Sanyilan is a mysterious land. In 1891, a French anthropologist named Eugene discovered that the Javan ape man in 1930 and 1931 were important milestones in the discovery of Pleistocene human fossils. The discovery of a complete 4-meter elephant in the mid-1980s shocked the whole scientific community. Although the Javan ape man was discovered in 1891, it was not until 80 years later that the ape man erect was finally aroused. Following the discovery of the Javan ape-man, paleoanthropologists paid close attention to the discovery of about 12 Homo erectus individuals in the Far East and Africa. None of these individuals contained facial bones. In 1969, a farmer accidentally hit the side of a bone with a stick while cultivating a field. The bone was firmly embedded in sandstone-bearing soil. After the skull was repaired, Sanyilan 17 became the best preserved primitive human skull in the Jawa ape-man fossil. So far, it is the only adult male skull. This skull suddenly appeared at the center of a multicultural model of the origin of modern humans. The multi-source model of human evolution assumes that Homo erectus evolved from the Javanese ape man and acquired several anatomical features that were later passed on to its descendants. Advocates of the model believe that these features can be traced in fossils from Javanese ape man to modern ape man who migrated from Java to Australia about 50,000 years ago. Trace paleoanthropologists also believe that an independent regional lineage can link Javanese ape-man to Chinese Zhoukoudian ape-man, and that the Sangyi Lan 17 fossil has many unique characteristics, which make it the focus of research in the multi-source hypothesis. These characteristics include the front and body of the broadest skull with a flat base on both sides of the thicker vaulted skull. There was a tendency to decrease in the parietal area. There were obvious muscle marks along the body wall and the back of the brain. Sangyi Lan 17 appeared about 80,000 years ago. Its brain capacity was 1029 milliliters.
