[1] [2] [3] One of many pieces of evidence is of the early human found in central Java of Indonesia in the late 19th century by Eugene Dubois, and later in 1937 at Sangiran site by G.H.R. van Koenigswald. [4] These skull and fossil materials are Homo erectus, named Pithecanthropus erectus by Dubois and Meganthropus palaeojavanicus by van ...
It is thought that they averaged heights of 1.2–1.5 metres (3.9–4.9 ft) and weighed between 30 and 55 kilograms (66 and 121 lb). The brain size may have been 350 cc to 600 cc. The postcanines (the teeth behind the canines) were relatively large, and had more enamel compared to contemporary apes and humans, whereas the incisors and canines ...

Anoiapithecus is an extinct ape genus thought to be closely related to Dryopithecus.Both genera lived during the Miocene, approximately 12 million years ago.Fossil specimens named by Salvador Moyà-Solà are known from the deposits from Spain.
If Meganthropus's mandible was in similar proportion to the rest of the skull as Homo Erectus, then I do conclude Meganthropus was about 7 feet tall. But taking into account the likelyhood of robustness, I figure 6ft to 6ft6 inches was the likely average stature of this giant, and probably a weight of 300-350 lbs.
