1873 M. Muller in Littell's Living Age 12 July 71/2 Supposing the Amœba..became a Menocerca, or tailed ape, then an Anthropoid ape, like the gorilla, then a Pithecanthropus or an ape-man, till at last the ape-man (a purely mythological being) begat a man.

1876 E. R. Lankester tr. E. Haeckel Hist. Creation II. xxii. 293 These Ape-like Men, or Pithecanthropi, very probably existed towards the end of the Tertiary period.

1883 tr. N. Joly Man before Metals 17 Prehistoric man..has even been sometimes called man-monkey, or pithecanthrope [Fr. on l'a même appelé quelquefois homme-singe, anthropiske ou pithécanthrope].

1905 J. McCabe tr. E. Haeckel Evol. Man II. xxiii. 632 The pithecanthropus excited the liveliest interest, as the long-sought transitional form between man and the ape.

1992 P. J. Bowler Fontana Hist. Environmental Sci.

In the early twentieth century this linear model of human evolution was rejected.
