Fragments of a partial skull unearthed in a cave in northern Spain have revealed a previously unknown population of ancient ...

But these had little to tell about human settlement and activity during the Early Pleistocene. The next oldest human fossils are Homo antecessor bones (about 800,000 to 900,000 years old). These were ...

Until now, the oldest-known human species in Western Europe was the Homo antecessor. Experts have found Homo antecessor remains that are around 850,000 years old. The oldest human ancestor found ...

Paleoarcheologists previously matched a set of roughly 850,000-year-old fossils in Spain to Homo antecessor, an early human subspecies that displayed thinner facial features similar to modern Homo ...

The facial remains are not those of Homo antecessor, an archaic human species whose roughly 900,000-year-old remains were previously found at the same site, according to the research. Rather ...

Until now, the oldest-known human species in Western Europe was the Homo antecessor. Experts have found Homo antecessor remains that are around 850,000 years old. Archaeological excavation work at ...

The team did so for the first time in 1994, when they unearthed the remains of a new human species, which they named Homo antecessor, at the TD6 level of the Gran Dolina site. These fossils ...

Pink's facial anatomy was more primitive than that of Homo antecessor, a species known to have inhabited Western Europe roughly 850,000 years ago whose slender midface resembled modern people.

The discovery is particularly important as it places the arrival of the first populations in Europe before the 'Homo antecessors', whose remains date back approximately 860,000 years. It is a key ...

In the mid-1990s, scientists identified an early human relative known as Homo antecessor from about 80 fossils uncovered at a site near Sima del Elefante called Gran Dolina. Those remains date to ...
