Homo heidelbergensis was widely considered the most recent common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals, but this view has been increasingly disputed since the late 2010s. In the Middle Pleistocene, brain size and height were comparable to modern humans. Like Neanderthals, H. heidelbergensis had a wide chest and robust frame.
The size of the brain is a frequent topic of study within the fields of anatomy, ... Homo heidelbergensis: 1100–1400 Homo neanderthalensis: 1200–1750 Homo sapiens ...
[12] [13] [14] Significantly, this is the only postcranial element of Homo heidelbergensis to have been found in northern Europe (postcranial indicates bones coming from anywhere other than the skull, considered the top or leading bone of the body). The tibia is extremely robust for its size and may be an indication of high running activity ...

Homo sapiens emerges in Africa before about 0.3 Ma from a lineage closely related to early H. heidelbergensis. [29] The first wave of " Out of Africa II and "earliest presence of H. sapiens in West Asia, may date to between .3 and 0.2 Ma, [ 29 ] and ascertained for 0.13 Ma. [ 30 ]
Some European researchers have classified the find as Homo erectus heidelbergensis, regarding it as a subspecies of Homo erectus. In 2010 the mandible's age was for the first time exactly determined to be 609,000 ± 40,000 years. [ 2 ]
The Steinheim skull is a fossilized skull of a Homo neanderthalensis [1] or Homo heidelbergensis found on 24 July 1933 near Steinheim an der Murr, Germany. [2] It is estimated to be between 250,000 and 350,000 years old.
They exhibited greater sexual dimorphism than members of Homo or Pan but less so than Gorilla or Pongo. It is thought that they averaged heights of 1.2–1.5 metres (3.9–4.9 ft) and weighed between 30 and 55 kilograms (66 and 121 lb). The brain size may have been 350 cc to 600 cc. The postcanines (the teeth behind the canines) were relatively ...
