The first characterizations of archaic homo sapiens as distinct and less intelligent than modern homo sapiens is due in part to Middle Pleistocene hominins.
The Middle Pleistocene hominins known as archaic Homo sapiens are intermediate in morphology and behaviour between contemporary Homo sapiens and Homo erectus.
The earliest descriptions of archaic Homo sapiens were based on scant fossil evidence at a time when anthropocentrism, or the emphasis on one culture or species above others, was more widely recognised and established in science and society.
The strongest evidence for the evolutionary change from Homo heidelbergensis to early modern Homo sapiens is found in African fossils.
