Which scientist built a complete skeleton from a skullcap or pig's tooth. Be specific now, as we wouldn't want folks to think you were just making stuff up.
Pigs tooth = "Nebraska man".
Skullcap = "Java man", initially discovered by Eugene Dubois, a Dutchman, in 1891.

"Java Man" was actually a specimen of Homo Erectus. The initial find actually consisted of the skullcap, a femur and some teeth -- a bit more to build on than just a skullcap. Whereas the initial reports could be considered a bit premature it did pan out and later specimens of H. Erectus did confirm in was a form of primitive man. So, you might say Mssr. Dubois was right in his assessment.
