<P> Kabwe 1 , also called the Broken Hill skull , was assigned by Arthur Smith Woodward in 1921 as the type specimen for Homo rhodesiensis ; most contemporary scientists forego the taxon `` rhodesiensis '' altogether and assign it to Homo heidelbergensis . The cranium was discovered in Mutwe Wa Nsofu Area in a lead and zinc mine in Broken Hill , Northern Rhodesia ( now Kabwe , Zambia ) on June 17 , 1921 by Tom Zwiglaar , a Swiss miner . In addition to the cranium , an upper jaw from another individual , a sacrum , a tibia , and two femur fragments were also found . The skull was dubbed `` Rhodesian Man '' at the time of the find , but is now commonly referred to as the Broken Hill skull or the Kabwe cranium . </P>
