Chamanune

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Revision as of 06:20, November 26, 2011 by JarHed (talk | contribs) (Added a mention to evidence supporting Chamanune as Homo Sapiens due to presence of chins.)

Chamanune (plural chamanush[1]) was a name used to refer to a species of human by contemporary humans and the Forerunners. The species lived on Erde-Tyrene during the Forerunner era, and were described as bronze-skinned and predominantly hairless.[2] Chakas was a chamanune.[3]

Trivia

  • Although the actual species name is never given, it is likely that Chamanune was a name for either Homo sapiens sapiens or Homo erectus.
  • However it was mentioned several times that Chakas had a chin, a trait common to Homo Sapiens and not present in Homo Erectus or other Hominids, effectively ruling out any species other then Homo Sapiens.
