First discovered near Heidelburg in Germany in 1907, it was described and named by Otto Schoetensack. It survived until about 250,000 to 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals Denisovans and modern humans are all descended from Homo heidelbergensis. Between 300.000 and 400,000 years ago, an ancestral group of H. heidelbergensis separated themselves shortly after they had left Africa. One group branched northwest into Europe and West Asia, which eventually evolved into Neanderthals. The other group ventured eastwards throughout Asia, eventually developing into Denisovans. Homo heidelbergensis evolved into Homo Sapien approximately 130.000 years ago. Between 70.000 to 6
