[Taxacom] New name on the hominin family tree branch...

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi All,
        If bodoensis is accepted as a new name, I would regard it as a subspecies within species Homo sapiens (sensu lato).
Below is how I classified the genus Homo a couple years ago, with a paraphyletic H. s. heidelbergensis giving rise to H. s. neanderthalensis, and H. s. rhodesiensis splitting off next:


1  Homo habilis%
>
>                1   H. h. rudolfensis
>
>               2A   H. h. habilis
>
>               2B   H. h. floresiensis ("hobbit")
>
>                3   {{H. erectus + H. sapiens}} (exgroup marker)
>
>
>
>   _a_ Homo erectus%
>
>                1  H. e. georgicus
>
>                ?  H. e. naledi
>
>                2  H. e. ergaster
>
>                3  H. e. erectus%
>
>               _a_  {{Homo sapiens}}  (exgroup marker)
>
>
>
>    _a_ Homo sapiens
>
>                 1  H. s. antecessor
>
>                 2  H. s. heidelbergensis% (incl. cepranensis)
>
>                _a_  H. s. neanderthalensis
>
>                 3  H. s. rhodesiensis
>
>                 4  H. s. idaltu
>
>                 5  H. s. sapiens
