'''Telanthropus capensis''' is the name given by the archaeologist
John T. Robinson to a species of
hominids. Robinson discovered fossils of this species in
1949 in
Swartkrans,
South Africa.
''T. capensis'' is no longer considered a separate species. It is most often considered to be a variety of ''
Homo ergaster'', or (if that is thought to be a subspecies) of ''
Homo erectus''.
