Homo sapiens idaltu

Homo sapiens idaltu is the name allotted to a group of bones, concerned with morphology Homo sapiens , and gone back to 154.000 years, that is to say, until February 2005, with the dating of two craniums called Omo 1 and Omo 2 gone back to 195.000 years, oldest representatives of the Homo sapiens . It is represented by three craniums found in Ethiopia in 1997, beside the village of Herto, from where the other name Homme of Herto .

The awkward precision idaltu should not mislead: it is a question above all of marking a morphological specificity of “elder” (significance Amharique of the term idaltu ) of the sapiens , compared to its successors. Herto thus does not constitute strictly speaking a subspecies of Homo sapiens . Homo sapiens sapiens was buried by the large majority of the scientists when the Homme of Néandertal was withdrawn, in 2003, of the row of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis to be high with the row of distinct, Homo neanderthalensis ; it ressuscite not with Homo sapiens idaltu .
