Description

This portrait would show a female representative of the hominin species Homo heidelbergensis. Evolving from Homo erectus in Africa around 700,000 years ago, Homo heidelbergensis would then spread into Europe and Asia, where they would eventually evolve into the Neanderthals and Denisovans. Those of the species that stayed behind in Africa, on the other hand, would give rise to us modern humans.
