Reconstruction of "Heidelberg Man", Homo Heidelbergensis now used to refer to hominines intermediate between H. erectus and H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis, and who lived from about 800,000 to about 300,000 years ago. H. heidelbergensis is morphologically very similar to Homo erectus but had a larger brain-case, about 93% the size of that of Homo sapiens. The holotype of the species was tall, 1.8 m and more muscular than modern humans.
