Homo rhodesiensis

Το Homo rhodesiensis είναι το όνομα είδους που προτάθηκε από τον Άρθουρ Σμιθ Γούντγοουρντ (1921) για να ταξινομοποιήσει το Κάμπουε 1 (το "κρανίο του Κάμπουε" ή "κρανίο του Μπρόκεν Χιλλ", επίσης γνωστός ως "Ροδεσιανός Άνδρας"), ένα απολίθωμα που ανακτήθηκε από σπήλαιο του Μπρόκεν Χιλλ (ή Κάμπουε) στην Βόρεια Ροδεσία (γνωστή σήμερα ως Ζάμπια).^[1]

Σήμερα ο H. rhodesiensis θεωρείται στις περισσότερες φορές ως συνώνυμο του Homo heidelbergensis, ή πιθανώς ως αφρικανική μορφή του Homo heidelbergensis sensu lato, το οποίο κατανοείται ως είδος που ζούσε στην Αφρική και την Ευρασία στην εποχή του Μέσου Πλειστόκαινου.^[2] Επίσης έχουν προταθεί οι ονομασίες Homo sapiens arcaicus^[3] και Homo sapiens rhodesiensis^[4]. Ο Γουάιτ (2003) πρότεινε τον ροδεσιανό άνδρα ως πρόγονο του Homo sapiens idaltu.^[5]

Η καταγωγή του Homo sapiens από τον Homo rhodesiensis έχει προταθεί αρκετές φορές.^[6]

"Ceprano clusters in our analysis with other European, African and Asian Mid-Pleistocene specimens – such as Petralona, Dali, Kabwe, Jinniu Shan, Steinheim, and SH5 – furnishing a rather plesiomorphic phenetic link among them. On the basis of this morphological affinity, it seems appropriate to group Ceprano with these fossils, and consider them as a single taxon. The available nomen for this putative species is H. heidelbergensis, whose distinctiveness stands on the retention of a number of archaic traits combined with features that are more derived and independent from any Neandertal ancestry. [...] This result would suggest that H. ergaster survived as a distinct species until 1 Ma, and would discard the validity of the species H. cepranensis [...] Thus we can include the so-called “Ante-Neandertals” from Europe in the same taxonomical unit with other Mid-Pleistocene samples from Africa and continental Asia. Combining the results of the two approaches of our phenetic analysis, Ceprano should be reasonably accommodated as part of a Mid-Pleistocene human taxon H. heidelbergensis, which would include European, African, and Asian specimens. Moreover, the combination of archaic and derived features exhibited by the Italian specimen represents a “node” connecting the different poles of such a polymorphic humanity."
