This species made extensiveuse of the Acheulean artifacts and may have experienced a case of island dwarfism leading to theevolution of Homo floresiensis, or "Hobbit man." Richard Leakey's 1984 discovery of (*) "TurkanaBoy" ignited an extended debate over this species' connection with Homo ergaster. Eugene Duboisdiscovered its first known specimen in 1891.
