They are generally grouped as part of a long and highly variable lineage of transitional morphs which inhabited the Middle Pleistocene of Europe, and would eventually evolve into the Neanderthals ( Homo neanderthalensis or H. sapiens neanderthalensis ). They have been variably assigned to either H. (s.?) heidelbergensis , or as a European subspecies of H. erectus as H. e. tautavelensis . The skull is reconstructed based on the specimens Arago 21 and 47 (probably male), and it is, to a degree, more characteristic...
