Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Kabwe 1 which is often referred to as Rhodesian Man, is generally considered as Homo heidelbergensis and has related features to H. Erectus such as:

1. a low braincase profile

2. large brow ridges,

3. a minor widening of the midface known as the sagittal keel, and

4. a projection at the back of the skull named the occipital torus.

Also, Kabwe 1 matches modern humans with features like:

1. a flatter, less prognathic face,

2. larger brain (1300 cubic centimeters).

Hence, Yes, I believe the Kabwe 1 cranium more closely resembles the erectines or H. sapiens
