The species homo rhodesiensis, named after Rhodesia - which in turn took the name of the British imperialist Cecil Rhodes - should be called homo bodoensis, scientists say.
Scientists have discovered a species of human ancestors called 'homo bodoensis' that lived around half a million years ago. The study was conducted by an international team of researchers from the University of Winnipeg and the University of Belgrade. It has been published in the journal Nature.
