Compare German Anthropolith (1762 or earlier), †Anthropolit (1776 or earlier). Compare earlier zoolite n.In French and German, forms with -lit(e) and -lith(e) are variants of the same word, with no difference in pronunciation (compare discussion at -lite comb. form¹ and also the German forms cited in quots. 1848, 1865 at anthropolith n. N.E.D. (1885) gives the pronunciation as (æ̆nþrō^u·pŏləit) /ænˈθrəʊpəlaɪt/.
