Fig. 2 Array of specimens commonly deemed H. erectus Fig. 2 Array of specimens commonly deemed H. erectus.The type specimen is Trinil 2 (Java), and the only specimens similar to it in derived features are from Sangiran (Java). Array of specimens commonly deemed H. erectus.The type specimen is Trinil 2 (Java), and the only specimens similar to it in derived features are from Sangiran (Java). Otherwise, note the obvious morphological differences, not only between the Dmanisi specimens but also in the assemblage as a whole.
