Homo heidelbergensis. Artists impression of two male H. heidelbergensis hominids which 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an artist's impression of two male Homo heidelbergensis hominids, who roamed the Earth between 600,000 and 250,000 years ago during the Pleistocene era. Discovered in Heidelberg, Germany in 1907, these ancient beings left a remarkable legacy that has been further unraveled through remains found in France and Greece. Standing at an impressive average height of six feet, Homo heidelbergensis possessed both physical stature and intellectual prowess. With their large brains and stone weapons as tools of survival, they formed social groups that enabled them to successfully hunt down formidable prey like prehistoric rhinos and elephants across Eurasia. This stunning illustration captures the essence of this prehistoric society. One can almost feel the weight of history as one H. heidelbergensis holds a spear with confidence while his companion stands by his side. The image not only highlights their anatomical features but also provides insights into their biological makeup. As we delve into paleontology and anthropology, studying our ancestors becomes crucial for understanding human evolution. This artwork serves as a reminder of our deep-rooted connection to these early humans who paved the way for our existence today. Let it inspire us to explore our own origins while appreciating the incredible journey that brought us here – from Homo heidelbergensis to modern-day humanity.
