The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The fossils assigned to the species by Curnoe cover a vast temporal range, from about 1.8 million years ago to potentially as late as 0.8 million years ago, meaning that if the species is considered valid, H. gautengensis would be both one of the earliest and one of the longest lived species of Homo.
- Since Curnoe's 2010 description, recognition of the species has been limited.
- The classification of most of the fossils referred to H. gautengensis was controversial before the description of the species and continue to be controversial to this day.
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 gautengensis article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Homo gautengensis
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
