Mysterious Prehistoric Samuel: Homo erectus paleohungaricus in the Context of Anthropogenesis
Bd.9,Nr.2(2018)
The object of the study is an analysis of fossil remains of hominin which were found before fifty years ago on the territory of today´s Hungaryand classified as Homo erectus paleohungaricus. The study aims to put this finding into context of current views on the evolution of archaic Homo sapiens and reinterpret its evolutionary status. Special attention is therefore paid to test the hypothesis according to which Homo erectus paleohungaricus represents a local variant of Homo heidelbergensis.
