Telanthropus capensis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telanthropus capensis is the name given by the archaeologist John T. Robinson to a species of hominids. Robinson discovered fossils of this species in 1949 in Swartkrans, South Africa.

T. capensis is no longer considered a separate species. It is most often considered to be a variety of Homo ergaster, or (if that is thought to be a subspecies) of Homo erectus.
