It is shown that the familiar Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms for homology may be simplified, in the case of finite simplicial complexes, by replacing the homotopy and dimension axioms by a strengthened form of the dimension axiom asserting that every simplex (rather than a point) has homology group \({\mathbb{Z}}\) in dimension 0 and 0 in all other dimensions.
