Homo Antecessor Reveals The DARK TRUTH About Our Origins

Описание: Ancient Europe Was a House of Horrors, That is The Gruesome Truth About Early Europeans. While many anthropologists will tell you we don’t really know who our common ancestor was, others will say we do: the species Homo heidelbergensis, or something like it. An even smaller portion will point to another possibility: a controversial species called Homo antecessor.

Homo antecessor is a contentious species designation. Some researchers believe these are members of an early and variable Homo heidelbergensis population. Yet, its discoverers believe that it shares more traits with modern humans than European Homo heidelbergensis, so Homo antecessor is considered the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens by some.

In this scenario, Homo heidelbergensis is not on the branch to modern humans but rather a side branch. Homo heidelbergensis is also considered by some to be an archaic subspecies of Homo sapiens, called Homo sapiens heidelbergensis. The fossils were classified as a new species, Homo antecessor, due to their unique combination of modern and primitive traits.
