Homo sapiens idaltu
Taxonomy
Homo sapiens idaltu was named by White et al. (2003) [On the limited available evidence, a subspecies of Homo sapiens distinguished from Holocene anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) by greater craniofacial robusticity, greater anterior-posterior cranial length, and large glenoid-to-occlusal plane distance. Homo sapiens idaltun is distinguished from the holotype of Homo rhodesiensis (Woodward, 1921) by a larger cranial capacity, a more vertical frontal with smaller face, and more marked midfacial topography (for example, canine fossa). We consider the holotypes of H. helmei and H. njarasensis too fragmentary for appropriate comparisons.]. Its type specimen is BOU-VP-16/1, a skull, and it is not a trace fossil.
