Homo heidelbergensis skull and face
Homo heidelbergensis skull and face of a male, artists impression. H. heidelbergensis lived between 600, 000 and 250, 000 years ago in the Pleistocene era. The first remains were found in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1907 and further remains have been found in France and Greece. These remains indicate that H. heidelbergensis averaged around six foot in height and had a large brain. It used stone weapons and hunted in groups allowing it to kill large prey such as prehistoric species of rhino and elephant which lived throughout Eurasia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of the Homo heidelbergensis skull and face, providing a glimpse into the life of this ancient human ancestor. Believed to have lived between 600,000 and 250,000 years ago during the Pleistocene era, H. heidelbergensis left its first remains in Heidelberg, Germany in 1907. Subsequent discoveries in France and Greece have shed further light on this remarkable species. The illustration depicts a male H. heidelbergensis with striking detail and precision. Standing at an impressive height of around six feet, these early humans possessed both strength and intelligence. Their large brains allowed for complex thinking and problem-solving abilities. Hunting in groups was a key survival strategy for H. heidelbergensis as it enabled them to take down formidable prey such as prehistoric rhinos and elephants that roamed Eurasia during their time. Stone weapons were their tools of choice in these endeavors. This monochrome artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also highlights the significance of biological anthropology and paleontology in unraveling our evolutionary history. It offers us a unique opportunity to connect with our ancestors from the Pleistocene period – a crucial chapter in human evolution. As we delve into paleoanthropology, we gain valuable insights into early humans like H. heidelbergensis who played an essential role in shaping our present existence through their anatomical adaptations and social behaviors.
