	Homo antecessor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Homo antecessor is an extinct hominin species that was discovered by E. Carbonell, J.L. Arsuaga and J.M. Bermudez de Castro.
		Homo anteccesor is considered as one of the earliest hominids in Europe; the oldest discovery is Homo georgicus from the Republic of Georgia at 1.8 and 1.6 million years old.
		Homo heidelbergensis was the early proto-human species that occupied both France and Briton at that time; both locales were connected by a landmass during that epoch.

	Homo (genus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and their close relatives.
		Homo neanderthalensis, traditionally considered the last surviving relative, died out 30,000 years ago while recent evidence suggests that Homo floresiensis lived as recently as 12,000 years ago.
		Through that species, Homo is next most closely related to the group of extinct species in the genera Paranthropus and Australopithecus, whose evolutionary branch split off from the proto-Homo line some 5 million years ago.

		Homo antecessor (Latin: human forbear) possessed characteristics of both neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
		Until this discovery, scientists have argued that Homo sapiens in Europe evolved either from Homo erectus with input from Homo sapiens neanderthalensis OR that Europe was settled by an African species, H.
		The researchers report that H. antecessor was a robust figure of average height with a cranial capacity slightly greater than 1,000 cc; its face was large but completely modern looking.

		This new species of protohumans, dubbed Homo antecessor from the Latin word meaning an explorer or one who goes first, lived 800,000 years ago, hunting in what is now Spain in oak and beech forests for rhinoceroses, elephants and other game, according to scientists who discovered the species.
		Homo antecessor had a bulky lower jaw, primitive teeth, and a ridged brow — all typical of Neanderthals — and humanlike cheekbones and depressions on either side of the nose, known as canine fossa, also typical of modern humans.
		Homo antecessors were perhaps almost 1.8 meters tall, muscular and were hunters, sometimes resorting to cannibalism or possibly eating carrion.

		antecessor may become a chronospecies (as many argue heidelbergensis is itself), but it has a very weak claim as a direct human ancestor or as a distinct taxon from heidelbergensis or erectus.
		This material is likely to be considered part of heidelbergensis, or antecessor may gain status as a chronospecies due to its age compared to known heidelbergensis specimens.
		antecessor is likely to be tossed as an invalid taxon in the future, but it may become a chonospecies to designate some of the earliest hominids in Europe.

		The newly identified species Homo antecessor (from the Latin for pioneer or explorer) is ostensibly a direct ancestor to both modern H. sapiens and H. neandertalensis.
		Homo antecessor is not a direct ancestor of Neandertals; they did evolve into H. heidelbergensis which in turn gave rise to Neandertals.
		Calling H. antecessor a direct ancestor of H. sapiens is even more problematic than it being the neandertals' ancestor, since it is rather indicative that our species came out of Africa.

	The Human Lineage Evolves
		This interpretation of both Homo erectus and the Neandertals as extinct side branches of hominid evolution is supportive of the replacement hypothesis and would seem to contradict the multiregional approach (see Chapter 12 in Human Antiquity).
		As a result of the mosiac of primitive and modern traits of the Gran Dolina fossils, the researchers suggest that the newly named Homo antecessor represents a descendant of the African Homo ergaster and is ancestral to archaic and anatomically modern Homo sapiens.
		The other line of Homo antecessor's descendants became anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa, spreading from there to encounter the descendants of other lines whose source was Homo ergaster.
