The discovery was made on 21 August 1964 during a dig led by László Vértes, and the fossil was named ''Sámuel'', 21 August being the [[name day]] of biblical judge [[Samuel]]. It has since become widely known as ''Samu'', a Hungarian short form of the name.
Hungarian anthropologist Andor Thoma (1928 - 2003) initially{{year needed}} described it as ''Homo erectus seu sapiens paleohungaricus''. It has since been dated to about 350,000 years old, consistent with either late ''[[Homo heidelbergensis]]'' or early ''[[Homo neanderthalensis]]''.
