The human cranium recovered at Florisbad in 1932 is compared with other Sub-Saharan African hominid remains from Broken Hill, the Omo and Klasies River Mouth. The Florisbad frontal is very broad, but despite this breadth and differences in zygomatic form, there is a definite resemblance to archaic Homo sapiens from Broken Hill. There is also some similarity to both Omo I and Omo II, while fragmentary remains from Klasies River are more lightly built and hence more modern in appearance. These impressions are strengthened by measurement and statistical analysis, which demonstrates that Florisbad and Broken Hill are distant from recent African populations. Even if Florisbad is less archaic than the earlier (Middle Pleistocene?) hominid, it is not noticeably Bushman-like. New dates suggestive of early Upper Pleistocene antiquity also place Florisbad securely in a lineage containing Broken Hill, and there is no evidence to support special ties with any one group of living Africans.
1932年在弗洛里斯巴德发现的人类颅骨与来自布罗肯希尔、奥莫和克拉西斯河口的其他撒哈拉以南非洲原始人类遗骸进行了比较。弗洛里斯巴德的额骨非常宽阔，尽管有这种宽度以及颧骨形态的差异，但它与来自布罗肯希尔的古代智人有明确的相似之处。它与奥莫一号和奥莫二号也有一些相似之处，而克拉西斯河口的碎片遗骸则更为纤细，因此外观上更具现代性。测量和统计分析强化了这些印象，结果表明弗洛里斯巴德和布罗肯希尔与近代非洲人群相距甚远。即使弗洛里斯巴德比早期（中更新世？）原始人类的年代更近，但它也没有明显的布须曼人特征。新的年代测定表明其为早更新世晚期，这也将弗洛里斯巴德稳固地置于包含布罗肯希尔的谱系中，并且没有证据支持它与任何一组现存非洲人有特殊联系。
