Preferred term

Homo antecessor  

Definition

  • Homo antecessor is the designation given a fossil hominid from the Lower Pleistocene of Atapuerca, Spain, defined in 1997 by Bermúdez de Castro, Arsuaga, Carbonell, Rosas,Martínez, and Mosquera, in Sciencemagazine. The name antecessor is the Latin word meaning “explorer,” “pioneer,” or “early settler.” Assigning this name, they emphasized that these hominids belong to the first population as yet known in the European continent.
