Homo antecessor is an extinct hominin species believed to have lived in Europe over 1 million years ago. Fossils were discovered in Spain, particularly at the Atapuerca archaeological site. This species is intriguing because it exhibits both primitive and more advanced traits. Homo antecessor is thought to have been a skilled toolmaker and meat-eater, offering valuable insights into early human dietary and behavioral patterns. Ongoing research into Homo antecessor enhances our understanding of human origins and our complex evolutionary history.
