Hypothetical genus proposed to fill the gap between the anthropoid apes and 
Homo. ‘These ape-like men or Pithecanthropi, very probably existed 
toward the end of the Tertiary period. They originated out of the man-like 
apes, or Anthropoides, by becoming completely habituated to an upright, 
walk, and by the corresponding stronger differentiation of both pairs of legs." 
(Hist. Creation, p. 293).

‘“The name Pithecanthropus was given to it by the discoverer [Dubois] in order 
to furnish with a definite habitation and a name the theoretical Pithecanthropus 
of Haeckel. Even the most particular of students of mammalian nomenclature 
will hardly object to the utilisation of a name for a second time which is with 
some clearness a nomen nudum!" (BEppARD, Mamm., p. 584, 1902.)
