| A group of fossils found at a iron and zinc mine in Northern Rhodesia (now Kabwe, Zambia) in 1921 by Tom Zwiglaar, a Swiss miner. The fossils included a nearly-complete skull, an upper jaw from another individual, a sacrum, a tibia, and two femur fragments. The cranium is the most famous of the fossils and was named Rhodesian Man. but is now commonly referred to as the Broken Hill Skull or the Kabwe cranium. The association between the bones is unclear, but the tibia and femur fossils are usually associated with the skull. Rhodesian man is dated between 125,000 and 300,000 years old and is typically designated as a member of the Homo heidelbergensis, though other designations such as archaic Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens rhodesiensis have also been proposed. | |||
