WHAT DOES HEIDELBERG MAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Heidelberg man

Homo heidelbergensis

Homo heidelbergensis — sometimes called Homo rhodesiensis — is an extinct species of the genus Homo which lived in Africa, Europe and western Asia from at least 600,000 years ago, and may date back 1,300,000 years. It survived until about 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. Its brain was nearly as large as that of a modern Homo sapiens. It is very likely the direct ancestor of Homo sapiens and the Neanderthals, and perhaps also the Denisovans. First discovered near Heidelberg in Germany in 1907, it was described and named by Otto Schoetensack.
