The Denisovans went extinct around 30,000 years ago. Scientists are just beginning to unravel their genetic legacy.

It is considered by many researchers to belong to a species called Homo heidelbergensis - a common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals. But scientists who have dated small samples of bone ...

H. sapiens emerged around 300,000 years ago, evolving from Homo heidelbergensis and migrating out of Africa, gradually replacing local populations of archaic humans. For most of history, all humans ...

(The most likely progenitor of all three types was a species called Homo heidelbergensis.) While our ancestors stayed in Africa, the common ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans migrated out.

Then we think we have Homo heidelbergensis, such as a[t] Boxgrove. Then later on the Neandertals, so from about 400,000 on which whenever people were in Britain for 300,000 years, it's Neandertals ...

Homo erectus was probably the first hominid to use fire. Also known as Homo heidelbergensis, this species has a brain that was larger than H. erectus' and smaller than that of a modern human.

The 476,000-year-old log structure predates the appearance of the first modern humans by some 150,000 years and was likely the handiwork of the archaic human species Homo heidelbergensis.

Our ancestor Homo erectus lived in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Its descendant, Homo heidelbergensis, gave rise to at least ...

Research led by Florida Museum of Natural History’s Advait Jukar, published as 2 papers, shows evidence of human 'exploitation' of the now-extinct elephants in Pampore, Kashmir Valley.

Exhibits include a flint handaxe possibly made by Homo heidelbergensis and a butchered rhino skull whose brains were extracted and eaten by ancient humans in Sussex, England around 500,000 years ago.

Both dating issues and fossil anatomy mean that scientists are currently uncertain whether the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans was Homo heidelbergensis, Homo antecessor or ...

The groups analyzed were: Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis (African and Eurasian populations), Homo erectus and African Homo (Homo ergaster and Homo habilis). Likewise ...
