Abstract
The author concurs with Ernst Mayr's opinion that, along with adhering to a number of basic rules of biological systematics, certain freedom is yet required in the construction of taxonomic models, especially in approaches to classifying a unique taxon such as Homo. He suggests that some aspects of systematics and nomenclature of this genus be reconsidered in line with the peculiar aspects of its evolution. Thus, a trinomen Homo habilis pre-erectus may be introduced for a number of early transitional forms, while some species categories may be changed to subspecies categories in certain cases, taking into account the rather low intensity of speciation within the Homo range, effected by cultural factors and the considerable proportion of anagenetic models of development in man. The author points that there should be avoided arbitrary names and designations that diverge from the accepted principles of systematics, such as anatomically modern man, late archaic sapiens, or behaviorally modern man.
