“…The species Homo erectus is defined by the 940 ml Trinil skullcap, which is of very distinctive morphology and is now plausibly dated to around 800 Ka ( Hilgen et al ., 2023 ). With this specimen we can very generally associate the slightly older or approximately coeval Sangiran (1.3–1.0 Ma, 917 ml) and Zhoukoudian (770 Ka, 1,046 ml) fossils, and the much younger and larger (ca.…”

Enlarging brains have been held up as the classic (if not the only) example of a consistent long-term trend in human evolution. And hominin endocranial volumes certainly expanded four-fold over the subfamily’s seven-million-year history, while on a very coarse scale later hominids showed a strong tendency to have larger brains than earlier ones. However, closer scrutiny of this apparent trend reveals that it was extremely episodic and irregular, a fact that argues against the notion that it was driven by social interactions internal to the hominin clade. In addition, an overall tendency to brain volume increase was expressed independently and concurrently within at least three separate lineages of the genus Homo – suggesting that, whatever the exact influences were that promoted this global trend, they need to be sought among stimuli that acted comprehensively over the entire vast range of periods, geographies and environments that members of our subfamily occupied. Significantly, though, the dramatic recent shrinkage of the brain within the species Homo sapiens implies that the emergence of modern human cognition (via the adoption of the symbolic information processing mode, likely driven by the spontaneous invention of language in an exaptively enabled brain) was not the culmination of the overall hominin trend towards brain enlargement, but rather a departure from it.

“…This site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 with number 593 [13], due to fossil discoveries and the discovery of Homo erectus fossil approximate 1.5 million-year-ago (Ma), which complement world discoveries. High-resolution footage of the Matuyama-Brunhes transition showing the date of Javanese Homo erectus in the Sangiran dome [9]. Furthermore, in the northern part of Central Java, there are prehistoric sites such as the Patiayam area [14][15][16], near the foot of Mount Muria.…”

Lusi River flows in the middle of Grobogan Regency with a length of 234 km and an area of 3,656.78 km2. The warp river has many very diverse ends. One of them is the discovery of deer fossils estimated to be around 30,000 years ago and stored in the Pleistocene layer. There may be still many fossils stored in this layer that have never been studied. It is estimated that 80 % of fossils are incomplete because there are teeth attached to the fossils and the condition of the jaws is still neatly arranged. We get the magnetic susceptibility value around 1.3×10−8 - 37.8×10−8 m3/kg. Vibrating Sample Magnetometer confirm that value of magnetic saturation about 0.071 - 0.176 emu/gr, magnetic remanent about 0.0001 - 0.004 emu/gr, and magnetic coercivity around 10.969 - 115.278 Oe. X-Ray Diffractometer confirm the mineral is Calcite (CaCO3) and Quartz (SiO2). From the results we got, it can be confirmed that the fossils found at the bottom of the Lusi river have the same minerals and elements as environmental sediments. So, fossils can be said to have been sedimented over a long period of time in the Lusi River. HIGHLIGHTS We have some important things in this study: Lusi river is a place we found fossil Lusi river we found a poor magnetic mineral We get the magnetic properties of the transition from paramagnetic to diamagnetic GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
