«Around 800,000 years ago, a group of early humans took shelter in a cave at the site now called Gran Dolina. Researchers have unearthed an intriguing collection of hominid fossils buried inside the filled-in cave that are unlike any other fossils found in Africa, Asia or Europe. As a result, these hominids have been classified as a new species, Homo antecessor, from the Latin word for explorer. Homo antecessor may have been the first hominid to populate western Europe.»
