Eugène Dubois earned worldwide fame through his discovery of Pithecanthropus erectus (now Homo erectus), the "upright, ape-man of Java." Supported by the Dutch colonial government, he worked in Sumatra and Java and found the famous remains of Pithecanthropus near the village of Trinil, Java. In his view, the remains provided the missing link between ape and man. "There was however great controversy over what Dubois said that he found. ... Professor Emil Selenka felt the solution to the problem was exploration instead of "discussion." He died in the process of organizing the expedition, and his wife succesfully completed what her husband started to organize. It became known as the Selenka-Trinil Expedition of 1907-08. Frau Selenka was a professor and academician. She had Professor Max Blanckenhorn of Berlin as associate. She received some sponsorships from universities, but mostly footed the bill herself. Seventeen other specialists were involved in the study of the seventeen crates of fossils returned to Germany. A scientific report of 342 pages was produced by Selenka and Blanckenhorn, published in 1911 titled "Die Pithecanthropus-Schichten auf Java." Sir Arthur Keith published a review of the report in "Nature." Despite the excellent scientific work produced in the actual report, few ever heard of it, it suffered the fate of being condemned to oblivion because it produced evidence contrary to evolution. Keith said that the manner in which Frau Selenka organized and executed the expedition, and published the results, "commands our unstinted praise." Although the purpose of the expedition was to confirm Dubois’s findings, its findings contradicted his claims. … (http://www.geocities.com/agseventyfour/SelenkaExpedition)"
