Homo antecessor

Homo antecessor is an ancient human species believed to have lived around 800,000 years ago in what is now Europe, particularly in Spain. Considered a potential common ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans, it showcases features that suggest a mix of traits from earlier human species. Fossils indicate that they were capable of using tools and might have had complex social structures. Their discovery helps scientists understand human evolution and the migration of early humans across continents. Overall, Homo antecessor plays a key role in uncovering the story of our ancestral lineage.
