What is another word for Heidelberg Man?
Pronunciation: [hˈe͡ɪdɪlbˌɜːɡ mˈan] (IPA) 
Heidelberg Man is a term that refers to a fossilized hominid skull found near Heidelberg, Germany in the 19th century. While the term "Heidelberg Man" is commonly used, there are alternative synonyms to describe this early human. One such synonym is the Homo heidelbergensis, a species that lived between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago. Additionally, these hominids are often referred to as archaic Homo sapiens or early Homo erectus. The bones found in Heidelberg show clear signs of evolution from the earlier Homo erectus, and are believed to represent an important steppingstone in the evolution of human beings as we know them today.
