#Homo heidelbergensis

Some hominids-in-progress I've had on lately: a Neanderthal shifting her weight in preparation to throw a spear, some improvements I made to the meshes and textures for my A. sediba and P. boisei skins, and skins I still have to texture for H. naledi and H. heidelbergensis Digital painting (Photopea, first image), Digital sculpture (Blender, last three images), 2024

Kabwe Woman

The subject of this acrylic paintingis based on a nearly 300,000-year-old hominin skull found at the site of Broken Hill near the Zambian town of Kabwe. Paleoanthropologists have traditionally assigned this specimen to the species Homo heidelbergensis, the species believed to be the common ancestor of modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans, but a paper in 2021 classified it as a late-surviving member of Homo bodoensis, the species immediately ancestral to modern humans after we split from the Neanderthal and Denisovan lineage. An old nickname for the Kabwe specimen is “Rhodesian Man” (since Zambia was under the thumb of British colonial rule as Northern Rhodesia at the time of the skull’s discovery), but what if it was a woman’s skull instead?

Homo Antecessor: the name of this species is highly debated amongst the experts, with many considering the remains to be those of Homo heidelbergensis which has theorised origins which have been pushed back to the same timeframe as this species.

Goblins in Go Action Fun Time

Goblins in Go Action Fun Time

Go Action Fun Time is my table-top Role-playing game about super-heroes and time travel. Check it out! Theories persist that Goblins are a form of fairy, or if not, evolved from some form of burrowing monkey or perhaps even rodents. These are all in error. Goblins are a variant of humanity that split off from the main lineage sometime during the Pleistocene ice ages, finding shelter beneath the…

Un estudio innovador ha descubierto las huellas más antiguas de los primeros humanos en Alemania, donde una vez deambuló una familia de humanos primitivos. Acompañadas de huellas de animales, incluida la primera evidencia de elefantes en la región, estas huellas y otras evidencias encontradas ofrecen información increíble sobre la vida antigua.

L'homme de Tautavel 💀

Petit tour au musée de Tautavel aujourd'hui.

Très sympa, beaucoup d'outils en pierre. D'ailleurs heureusement qu'ils précisent quel était leur usage car à part certains silex caractéristiques, je n'aurais pas vraiment su les différencier de pierres classiques.

Reconstitution de la grotte. On ne voit pas bien mais le sol est jonché d'ossements d'animaux car ils mangeaient absolument tout : muscle, cervelle, moelle ... Et ce qui me surprend c'est qu'autant ils s'habillaient avec des peaux ... mais ils marchaient pieds nu là dedans ? Ça me surprend qu'ils n'évacuaient pas les os ... Ça devait bien faire mal aux pieds ...

Même qu'entre 2 parties de chasse, l'homme de Tautavel allait faire du mini-golf ! 😂

Stone tools created half a million years in what is now Poland were probably the work of an extinct hominid species called Homo heidelbergensis, thought to be the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans

The researchers found layers of sediment that contained the bones of animals that lived between 450,000 and 550,000 years ago.Among these were several large extinct carnivores, including the “the immense Lycaon lycaonoides” – a large species of wild dog that disappeared from central Europe around 400,000 years ago.

Alas I am not an actual Neanderthal, but Homo heidelbergensis is fucking cool too.

OK, I’m a Neanderthal, according to this quiz (created by a student at Appalachian State University)

Here's some hominid soft facial anatomy : )

The model on the right of frame, representing Australopithecus sediba, has been in sporadic progress for over a year now across a few programs, and I was able to create the model on the left of frame by conforming all the A. sediba elements to the Kabwe cranium (belonging to Homo heidelbergensis *or* H. bodoensis by some classifications). That latter process took place entirely in Blender over only a couple days, so I'm pretty happy with this method. While the skulls themselves aren't visible in these screenshots, they are part of the Blender file and were downloaded directly from MorphoSource, which was pretty helpful.

Homo Sapiensler Nasıl Hayatta Kaldı?

Homo Sapiensler Nasıl Hayatta Kaldı? Homo sapiensler olarak bu gezegende yaşayan tek insan türü değildik. Bir zamanlar gezegenimizde en az 7 başka insan türüyle daha beraberdik. Peki ama bugüne kadar nasıl sadece biz hayatta kaldık?    Bilim insanlarına göre belki de en yumuşak karnımız, yani başka insanlara, sosyalleşmeye bağımlı olmak, şefkat duymak ve empati kurmak bize avantaj saglamış…

Kabwe 1

This is Kabwe 1, a ~300,000 year old cranium of a human ancestor excavated in Zambia in 1921. Its species assignment is still kinda controversial, but I'm going with Homo heidelbergensis.

I love these big brow ridges - would not want to get headbutted by this dude. -- Me, April 2022
