Г Г Г ГTHE JAVA MAN REMAINS ARE THOUGHT TO BE THE FIRST KNOWN Г ГFOSSILS OF ''HOMO ERECTUS,'' FORMERLY CALLED Г Г''PITHECANTHROPUS,'' WHICH MANY EXPERTS SAY IS THE Г ГIMMEDIATE PRECURSOR OF MODERN MAN. Г Г Г ГTEUKU JACOB, INDONESIA'S PROMINENT ANTHROPOLOGIST AND FORMERГ ГRECTOR OF GAJAH MADA UNIVERSITY, HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ISГ ГA STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT THE FOOTPRINTS WERE LEFT BY THE Г ГSAME SPECIES. Г Г Г ГTHE FOSSILS WERE FOUND IN THE SAME STRATUM, OR LAYER OF Г ГEARTH, THAT JAVA MAN'S FOSSILS WERE UNEARTHED, THE EXPERT Г ГSAID. Г Г Г ГA JOINT TEAM FROM INDONESIA AND JAPAN WILL CONDUCT A FULL- Г ГFLEDGED SURVEY NEXT SUMMER TO TRY AND PROVE THERE IS A Г ГCONNECTION BETWEEN THE FOOTPRINTS AND THE SKELETAL REMAINS. Г Г Г ГIF THE JOINT RESEARCH TEAM CAN PROVE THE THEORY, IT WILL BE Г ГCONSIDERED THE FIRST DISCOVERY OF FOOTPRINTS LEFT BY EARLY Г ГMAN. Г Г Г ГSOME 60 ANIMAL FOOTPRINT FOSSILS FROM THE SAME ERA HAVE ALSOГ ГBEEN FOUND ON THE SITE AND HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS LEFT BY Г ГBUFFALO, DEER, AND ELEPHANTS, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS FROM THE Г ГTEAM.
