Homo troglodytes
Translingual
Etymology
New Latin, from Latin homo (“human, human being”) + troglodytes (“cave-dweller”). The original name was coined by Linnaeus in 1758, and was revived as a reassignment of Pan troglodytes into the genus Homo based on the idea that chimpanzees share essentially human qualities.
Proper noun
- (obsolete) A species of supposed troglodytic men, now thought to be legendary, sometimes identified with the orangutan.
