1.8 to 1.9 MYA. The Homo rudolfensis Skull KNM-ER 1470 was discovered by B. Ngeneo in 1972 at Koobi Fora in Kenya. Current theory holds that though contemporaneous and geographically concurrent with habilis, this specimen is in fact a different species of Homo. Several features differ from other habilis specimens (a longer face, squared upper jaw and short, shallow palate). In 1986 Valerii Alexeev proposed another species within Homo, giving 1470 the scientific name Homo rudolfensis.
