- Javanthropus is an outdated term referring to fossil remains classified under the genus Homo soloensis.
- Some researchers thought that Javanthropus moved quadrupedally; however, the discovery of the pelvis of Solo I and Solo II helped clarify that the species was bipedal.
- In the early twentieth century, Javanthropus and Meganthropus were considered two different genera; however, most researchers today consider them synonyms or forms of earlier classifications of the genus Homo.
