 Formerly SK 847 was attributed to the "Australopithecus robustus" group of hominid fossils, but it has been recently been attributed to the genus "Homo".There has been much controversy regarding this fossil specimen because this fossil has similarities to early African "Homo erectus", sometimes known as "Homo ergaster".Yet, it shows other similarities to "Homo habilis", also known to occur from Eastern to Southern Africa.
