Αυτόν εδώ τον Homo rudolfensis θα συνεχίσουμε να τον λέμε μόνο με τη λατινική του ονομασία ή θα του βρούμε και ελληνική (όπως έχουμε τον όρθιο, τον επιδέξιο ή τον σοφό άνθρωπο); Και ποια είναι η σωστή ελληνική απόδοση; Πληροφορούμαι ότι το λατινικό του το πήρε από τη Λίμνη Ροδόλφου της Κένυας (ή Κένιας). Στην περίπτωση αυτή, ο Ροδόλφος είναι ο Αυστριακός πρίγκιπας που πρωταγωνίστησε στην τραγωδία με τη Μαρία Βετσέρα (ταινία Μάγιερλινγκ με τον Ομάρ Σαρίφ).
Homo rudolfensis was a species of the genus Homo that is known only through a handful of representative fossils, the first of which was discovered by Bernard Ngeneo, a member of a team led by anthropologist Richard Leakey and zoologist Meave Leakey in 1972, at Koobi Fora on the east side of Lake Rudolf (now Lake Turkana) in Kenya. The scientific name Pithecanthropus rudolfensis was proposed in 1978 by V. P. Alekseyev. It was later changed to Homo rudolfensis by Bernard Wood, for the specimen Skull 1470 (KNM ER 1470). On 8 August 2012, a team led by Meave Leakey announced the discovery of a face and two jawbones belonging to H. rudolfensis.
