The Heidelberg Man A species of early Man is represented merely by a lower jaw found during 1907 in a sand deposit of Early Pleistocene age near Heidelberg, Germany. The quite massive jaw is of a primitive type, but the teeth are essentially human both in relative size and general appearance. Accordingly, the Heidelberg man is included in the same genus with modern man, as Homo heidelbergensis. However, the relationships of Heidelberg man are obscure, though.
