Pithecanthropus also known as Java man is an extinct hominin known from fossil remains discovered in Java in 1891.

The skull was characterized by thick bones and a retreating forehead and no chin, as well as protruding brow ridges and a massive jaw. With 900 ccm, his cranial capacity was smaller than that of later H. erectus specimens. He had human teeth with large canines. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
