The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Populations of this species may have been present elsewhere in Western Europe, and were among the first to settle that region of the world, hence the name.
- The first fossils were found in the Gran Dolina cave in 1994, and the species was formally described in 1997 as the last common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals, supplanting the more conventional H. heidelbergensis in this position.
- H. antecessor has since been reinterpreted as an offshoot from the modern human line, although probably one branching off just before the modern human/Neanderthal split.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Homo antecessor article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
