Homo gautengensis
''Homo gautengensis'' is a hominin species proposed by biological anthropologist Darren Curnoe in 2010. The species is composed of South African hominin fossils previously attributed to ''Homo habilis'', ''Homo ergaster,'' or in some cases ''Australopithecus'' and is argued by Curnoe to be the earliest species in the genus ''Homo''.〔Curnoe, D. 2010, "A review of early Homo in southern Africa focusing on cranial, mandibular and dental remains, with the description of a new species (Homo gautengensis sp. nov.)." ''HOMO - Journal of Comparative Human Biology'', vol.61 pp.151–177.〕
==Discovery and analysis==
Analysis announced in May 2010 of a partial skull found decades earlier in South Africa's Sterkfontein Caves in Gauteng near Johannesburg identified the species, named ''Homo gautengensis'' by anthropologist Dr. Darren Curnoe of the UNSW School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. The species has been considered by Lee Berger and co-workers to be an invalid taxon because it conflicts with their interpretations of ''Australopithecus sediba''. The species' first remains were discovered in the 1930s by Broom and Robinson, and the most complete skull (species Holotype Stw 53) was recovered in 1977 and was argued to belong to the species ''Homo habilis''.〔("Reappraisal of the taxonomic status of the cranium StW 53 from the Plio/Pleistocene of Sterkfontein, in South Africa" )〕 The type specimen has been discussed in some refereed publications as being synonymous with ''A. africanus'', but most analyses have considered it to belong in the genus ''Homo'', and several have suggested it sampled a novel species prior to Curnoe's description.
