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

Homo troglodytes m
