Fossilised remains, Sima de los Huesos
Fossilised remains, Sima de los Huesos. Reconstructed Homo hiedelbergensis skeleton. This skeleton has been made up from human fossils found at Sima de los Huesos (Pit of Bones). The fossils have come from different adults and date back 400, 000 years. Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species that forms a relatively recent part of the human evolutionary tree. It may have been an ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans. There is debate over whether the fossils should be attributed to H. heidelbergensis or H. neanderthalensis, as some anatomical features are transitional between the two species. Sima de los Huesos is one of several archaeological sites in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain, that have been studied on and off over the past century, leading to a massive advancement in the understanding of human evolution. In 2000, Sierra de Atapuerca was made a world heritage site by UNESCO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fossilized remains of a reconstructed Homo heidelbergensis skeleton, meticulously composed from human fossils discovered at Sima de los Huesos (Pit of Bones). Dating back an astonishing 400,000 years, these fossils originate from various adults and offer invaluable insights into our evolutionary history. Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species that holds a significant place in the human family tree as it potentially served as a common ancestor for both Neanderthals and modern humans. However, there exists ongoing debate regarding whether these remarkable fossils should be attributed to H. heidelbergensis or H. neanderthalensis due to certain anatomical features that bridge the gap between the two species. Sima de los Huesos forms part of Sierra de Atapuerca in Spain—a region boasting several archaeological sites that have been intermittently studied over the past century—leading to groundbreaking advancements in our understanding of human evolution. In recognition of its immense scientific value, UNESCO designated Sierra de Atapuerca as a world heritage site in 2000. This awe-inspiring image not only highlights the unique nature of this archaeological find but also underscores humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel our origins through anthropology and paleontology. The preserved evidence within this composite skeleton serves as a testament to our shared ancestry with ancient hominids and offers profound glimpses into our own journey as a species.
