Answer

  1. Pecking man

Explanation:

Peking man and Java man discovered in Asia are examples of Homo erectus. Homo erectus is the scientific name. Pithecanthropus erectus was the name given by the original discoverer, Eugene Dubois, in 1891. He later revised this to Homo erectus.

Along with Pithecantropus erectus, other names given to early specimens of the species are Sinanthropus pekinensis (Peking man), Javanthropus soloensis and Meganthropus paleojavanicus. All of these were provisional allocations made before all of the specimens could be compared with each other, and are now obsolete.
