Kabwe cranium best age is 299 ± 25 thousand years. Africa hosted Homo sapiens, H. heidelbergensis/rhodesiensis, and Homo naledi simultaneously around 300 ka. Eurasia had Neanderthals, Denisovans, H. floresiensis, H. luzonensis, possibly H. heidelbergensis and H. erectus at same time. Multiple lineages challenge simple H. sapiens evolution in Africa. H. heidelbergensis/rhodesiensis direct ancestry of H. sapiens now questioned. Age from direct U-series and ESR on skull bones. Faunal biostratigraphy confirms Middle Pleistocene context. Site quarried away preventing stratigraphic dating. Skull one of best-preserved fossil hominin crania. Originally classified Homo rhodesiensis, now often H. heidelbergensis. Coexistence mirrors complex Eurasian hominin diversity.
