'''Samu''' is the nickname given to a prehistoric man (described{{by whom}} as ''Homo erectus seu sapiens palaeohungaricus'', i. e., "ancient Hungarian Homo erectus or sapiens") whose remains were found in 1964 near [[Vértesszőlős]], [[Hungary]]. He was a late ''[[Homo erectus]]'', somewhere between ''Homo erectus'' and ''[[Homo neanderthalensis]]''. Only a part of the occipital bone was found. He lived about 350,000 years ago.{{cn}}
The archaeological site was discovered by [[Márton Pécsi]] in 1962; the [[occipital bone]] was found three years later during a dig led by [[László Vértes]]. Since it was found on August 21, the [[name day]] of Sámuel, it was named ''Samu'' (Hungarian version of Sam). Two child teeth were also found. A fireplace was also found along the bones and tools.▼
