Homo rhodesiensis(Rhodesiamennesket) er en utdødd menneskeart som levde iAfrikafor mellom 600 000 og 274 000 år siden. Det er et artsnavn som ble foreslått avArthur Smith Woodward(1921) for å klassifisereKabwe 1( "Kabweskallen" eller "Broken Hill skallen", og "Rhodesiamannen" ), etsteinalderfossil som ble funnet i en hule i Broken Hill, ellerKabwe,Northern Rhodesia(idagZambia).[1].Skallen er datert til å være mellom 324,000 og 274,000 år gammel. Andre lignende funn er også gjort.[2]

Homo rhodesiensiser nå for det meste betraktet som et synonym medHomo heidelbergensis,eller en afrikansk underart avHomo heidelbergensis sensu lato,forstått som en polymorf art som var spredt utover Afrika og Eurasia underpleistocenperioden(0.8–0.12 mya).[3] Andre benevnelser somHomo sapiens arcaicus[4]ogHomo sapiens rhodesiensis[5]har også blitt foreslått. White et al. (2003) forslo Rhodesian Man som stamfaren tilHomo sapiens idaltu(Hertomennesket).[6]

MellomHomo sapiensogHomo rhodesiensiser det et fossilt gap på 400,000 til 260,000 år.[7]

"Ceprano clusters in our analysis with other European, African and Asian Mid-Pleistocene specimens – such as Petralona, Dali, Kabwe, Jinniu Shan, Steinheim, and SH5 – furnishing a rather plesiomorphic phenetic link among them. On the basis of this morphological affinity, it seems appropriate to group Ceprano with these fossils, and consider them as a single taxon. The available nomen for this putative species isH. heidelbergensis,whose distinctiveness stands on the retention of a number of archaic traits combined with features that are more derived and independent from any Neandertal ancestry. [...] This result would suggest thatH. ergastersurvived as a distinct species until 1 Ma, and would discard the validity of the speciesH. cepranensis[...] Thus we can include the so-called “Ante-Neandertals” from Europe in the same taxonomical unit with other Mid-Pleistocene samples from Africa and continental Asia. Combining the results of the two approaches of our phenetic analysis, Ceprano should be reasonably accommodated as part of a Mid-Pleistocene human taxonH. heidelbergensis,which would include European, African, and Asian specimens. Moreover, the combination of archaic and derived features exhibited by the Italian specimen represents a “node” connecting the different poles of such a polymorphic humanity. "

"Most, if not all, of the African specimens assigned toH. rhodesiensis (cf heidelbergensis) seem to predate the divergence betweenH. neanderthalensisandH. sapiens[viz., assumed at 0.5 Mya prior to the revision by Meyer et al. 2016]. However, a gap in the fossil record, possibly between 400 and 260 ka, blurs the transition or punctuation event that separatedH. rhodesiensisandH. sapiens."(p. 532).
