Recent findings in Atapuerca suggest that H. heidelbergensis may have been the first species of the Homo genus to bury their dead.
However, scientists still argue over whether this is true.
Some experts believe that H. heidelbergensis, like its descendant H. neanderthalensis, learned a primitive form of language.
Scientists have not found any forms of art or sophisticated artifacts made by H. heidelbergensis, other than stone tools.
However, archaeologists have found red ochre, a mineral that can be used to create a red pigment which can be used as a paint.
They found this possible paint at Terra Amata excavations in the south of France.
Modern finds
Boxgrove Man
In 1994, British scientists unearthed a lower hominin tibia bone just a few miles away from the English Channel.
They found the bone with hundreds of ancient hand axes, at the Boxgrove Quarry site.
A partial leg bone is dated to between 478,000 and 524,000 years old.
The discoverers believe these remains are from H. heidelbergensis.
However, some other scientists believe the remains are from early H. neanderthalensis.
Before a discovery at Gran Dolina, Boxgrove was the site of the earliest hominin remains in Europe.
The tibia had been chewed by a large carnivore.
This suggests two possibilities.
The individual may have been killed by a lion or wolf.
He also may have died of some other cause, and his unburied corpse may have been scavenged after his death.
Sima de los Huesos
Beginning in 1992, a Spanish team has located more than 5,500 human bones that are at least 350,000 years old in the Sima de los Huesos site.
This site is in the Sierra de Atapuerca, in northern Spain.
The pit contains fossils of perhaps 28 individuals, together with remains of Ursus deningeri, other carnivores, and a biface called Excalibur.
Some scientists think that this Acheulean axe, made of red quartzite, was some kind of ritual offering for a funeral.
If so, it would be the earliest known evidence of a funerary practice.
Ninety percent of all known H. heidelbergensis remains have come from this site.
The fossil pit bones include:
A complete cranium (skull 5), nicknamed Miguelón, and pieces of other skulls, such as skull 4, nicknamed Agamenón, and skull 6, nicknamed Rui (from El Cid, a local hero).
A complete pelvis (pelvis 1), nicknamed Elvis, in remembrance of Elvis Presley.
Mandibles, teeth, and many postcranial bones (like femurs, hand and foot bones, vertebrae, and ribs)
Indeed, nearby sites contain the only known and controversial Homo antecessor fossils.
In 2005, teeth and flint tools from the water vole Mimomys savini, which is used to date other species, were found in the cliffs at Pakefield near Lowestoft in Suffolk, England.
This suggests that hominins existed in England 700,000 years ago.
These hominims may have been a cross between H. antecessor and H. heidelbergensis.<ref name="nature1">Parfitt S. et al 2005. '

Sir Joseph Austen Chamberlain, KG (16 October 1863 – 17 March 1937) was a British politician.
He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925.
His father was another important politician, Joseph Chamberlain, and his half-brother (they had a different mother) was Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister from 1937 to 1940.
Austen was born in Birmingham on the 16 October 1863, but two days later his mother died.
His grandparents looked after him and his sister, Beatrice.
Austen went to Rugby school, a famous private school, and then studied at the University of Cambridge.
He then studied in a political college in Paris and at a university in Berlin.
He returned to Britain in 1888.
In 1892, Chamberlain became a Member of Parliament for Worcestershire, as a member of his father's party, the Liberal Unionist Party.
The Liberal Unionists worked to keep Ireland as a part of the United Kingdom.
Chamberlain worked hard for his father, and in 1895 the prime minister gave him a job helping to run the Royal Navy.
Chamberlain became important very quickly.
In 1903 the new prime minister, Balfour gave him the job of controlling the Post Office.
Then in 1904 he became Chancellor of the Exchequer, responsible for the economy.
In 1906, the government lost the general election, and Chamberlain lost his job in the government.
When his father became ill because of a stroke, he helped his father by fighting against Home Rule, the plan to make Ireland independent.
In the First World War, Chamberlain got the job responsible for India, and after the war he became Chancellor of the Exchequer again.
Here he helped Britain to recover from the war.
He was leader of the Conservative Party from 1921 to 1922.
In 1924, the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin gave Chamberlain the job of Foreign Secretary, working with important people from other countries.
In 1925.
At this time, France and Germany were arguing about war reparations, money paid by the Germans to the countries that won the First World War.
Many people were worried that war might start again.
Chamberlain met with Gustav Stresemann, the German Foreign secretary.
Together with Aristide Briand, they signed the Locarno Pact, an agreement never to use the military to solve problems again.
For this, all three men won the Nobel Peace Prize, Chamberlain in 1925, Briand and Stresemann in 1926.
Warnings about Hitler
After the 1929 general election, Chamberlain lost his job as Foreign Secretary.
He stayed in parliament, and often argued with the government about their foreign policy (plans).
From 1934 until his death in 1937, Chamberlain warned the government about the Nazi Germany, who were building a larger military.
Together with Winston Churchill, he argued that Britain should build its military too.

Tabasco is a state in southeast Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico.
About 2,000,000 people live there.
Its capital is called Villahermosa.
Silent trade, or barter, is when traders (who do not speak each other's language) trade without talking to each other.
This was used in many parts of ancient Africa.
Silent bartering was used during 500 A.D to 1500 A.D. and probably had a much longer history.
To do a silent barter, one group of traders would go to a certain place, leaving whatever they are offering to trade.
The other group of traders would then decide if they would like to accept the goods (usually salt or gold) that were left.
If the goods met with approval, the second group would then take the goods, leave their own goods in return, and leave because the person accepted the offer.
This system of trading was used mostly in ancient Ghana.
The popular things they sold were gold and salt.
Another system was face-to-face trading using hand signals.
Gold mined south of the Sahel was traded, pound for pound, for salt mined in the desert.
The salt from the desert was needed by the people of Sahel to flavor and preserve their food and gold has always had value for adornment (wearing).
Because of this trade, cities grew and flourished and parts of West Africa became commercial centers.
West Africa produced gold until about 1500 AD.
Tamaulipas is a state in the northeast of Mexico.
About 3,025,000 people live there.

The capital is also called Zacatecas.
A petal is a coloured part of a flower.
With bright colours and scent, they often bring insects and birds to pollinate the flowers.
Petals are made of cellulose and other organic matter.
Petals are modified leaves which surround the reproductive parts of flowers.
Together, all of the petals of a flower are called a corolla.
The role of petals and the evolution of flowers is an important part of botany.
It has been studied from the 18th century to the present day.
Wind pollination: flowers are small and dull, with little or no scent, and often no petals at all.
They produce large amounts of pollen which is scattered by the wind.
Insect pollination: flowers show well in the ultraviolet range, and often have honey guides.
These are lines leading from the petal to the nectar.
Use of scent is also common.
Bird pollination: large, colourful flowers with nectar.

In British English slang, a marigold is a rubber glove, especially a yellow or orange one used for washing dishes.
A moisturizer (or moisturiser) is a liquid that is used for softening the skin, especially for naturally dry skins.
They increase the skin's water content by reducing evaporation.
The thickness of a moisturizer is actually what keeps the hydration concealed into the skin, which then creates the moisturizing effect.
Due to its thickening agents, moisturizers typically only come in lotion or night cream form.
Unlike a serum, a moisturizer does not penetrate deeply into the skin.
The main job of a moisturizer is to seal products into the skin, locking all the moisture and nutrients your skin needs.
They can be quite a complicated chemical mixture.
They may contain naturally occurring skin lipids and sterols, artificial or natural oils, emollients, lubricants,etc.
Moisturizers are not always needed or used.
They are most useful for persons with dry skin.
How they act
Occlusives work by forming a thin film on the surface of the skin to prevent loss of moisture.
Humectants attract water vapor from the air to moisturize the skin.
Some add deficient materials.
These aim to restore natural moisturizing factors on the skin.
Vidalia onions are a variety of onions.
They are native to Toombs County, Georgia.
They are unique from other onions in that they are sweeter in taste.
Southeast Georgia's mild climate, the area's sandy, low sulfur soil, exclusive seedvarieties, and precise farming practices make this original sweet onion, mild and flavorful.

Intoxication is the state of being affected by one or more psychoactive drugs.
It can also refer to the effects caused by the ingestion of poison or by the overconsumption of normally harmless substances.
People who drink too much alcohol become intoxicated.
They may become impaired in some or all of their senses like touch or even eyesight.
Long term drinkers develop tolerance to alcohol.
This high tolerance means it takes more alcohol to produce the outward signs of intoxication.
Intoxication may bring delirium or make people do or say things that are not normal for them.
The level of harm done usually depends on the substance and the amount.
Mild intoxication usually is not permanently harmful.
Mild stimulants like caffeine usually do not harm the person.

Cannabis intoxication
Heroin intoxication
Water intoxication
Settled insanity
Often taking a mild depressant or stimulant does not have much effect on the person who took it.
But more serious drugs, substances, or even medications can have a large effect on the person.
Usually stimulants keep the person awake and energetic.
Depressants work the opposite way; they decrease the heart rate of the person and relax them.
Sedatives give the same effect.
More of these substances can carry harm or even life-threatening effects, if ingested in large amounts.
Mixing alcohol with prescription drugs often leads to increased or hastened impairment.
Alcohol can produce hazardous side effects, reduce heart rate, and drop blood pressure to a dangerous level.

A special version named Pokémon Crystal, which had the Pokémon Suicune on the cover, was released around a year later.
Pokemon Gold and Silver are backward-compatible with the original Game Boy (except in Korea), but Pokemon Crystal requires a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance.
The games added many new things, such as breeding and a new bag system.
There were also one hundred new Pokémon added.
The games take place in a region named Johto.
The player is a ten year old kid from a small town, who is sent on a mission from Professor Elm.
After completing the mission, the player gets to choose a starter Pokémon, and start a journey.
During this journey, the player fights an villainous team, Team Rocket, who is coming back after being defeated by the player of Pokémon Red and Blue.
The cartridges use a CR2025 lithium battery to keep track of the time and to power the sRAM save mechanism.
As these games were released over 15 years ago, the original battery is usually depleted by now.
It is possible to replace it, but it requires a special screwdriver bit to open the cartridge and soldering in a tabbed replacement battery.
Replacing the battery will erase the game save on the cartridge, if any, unless special precautions (such as backing up and restoring the save file using special hardware, or wiring a temporary battery in parallel with the original while removing it) are taken.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
and  are remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, developed by Game Freak for the Nintendo DS.

Game Boy Color-only games
The waveform is the shape of a wave as it travels.
There are many different waveforms.
They are usually a shape which is repeated over and over (a "periodic waveform").
A common waveform is the sine wave.
It is normally not possible to see a waveform without some device.
Root mean square
The amplitude of a waveform may change a lot.
Even though it changes, the waveform has a root mean square (rms) value.
For example: in the UK, the AC mains supply is a sine wave and has a voltage of 240 V. This is an rms voltage.
The actual voltage varies:
Root mean square is important.
It lets us work out many useful things, like power and heating in a wire.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are two role-playing games made by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld.
They are the third main generation of games in the Pokémon series, and increased the number of Pokémon to 386.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire take place in a region called Hoenn, which is based on an island in Japan.
There are 15 cities and many are connected by areas called routes.
The main character of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is a child who has recently moved to Littleroot Town.
The player chooses either Torchic, Mudkip, or Treecko as his or her starter Pokémon from Professor Birch.
His or her rival May (if the player is a girl) or Brendan (if the player is a boy), is also a Pokémon Trainer.
The story follows the player as they defeat Teams Aqua and Team Magma, crime groups who want to use Pokémon to change the weather in Hoenn.
In Ruby, Team Magma, want to use the legendary Pokémon Groudon to dry up the oceans of Hoenn and increase the amount of land; in Sapphire, the Team Aqua are the villains and they try to Kyogre, to increase the Hoenn's water levels.
The player first meets the Team in the Petalburg Woods, where he or she rescues a worker from Devon and recovers a package.

The player defeats the Team's leader and returns the meteorite to Professor Cozmo.
Shortly after, Aqua/Magma again tries to change the region's weather by stealing a Castform, a Pokémon with the ability to change the weather, from the Weather Institute.
After the player reaches Mt. Pyre, a large mountain and Pokémon cemetery, Aqua/Magma steal an orb that can control a legendary Pokémon (Groudon in Ruby, Kyogre in Sapphire).
Aqua/Magma then steal a submarine from Captain Stern in Slateport City; the player, however, breaks into the team's hideout, but is not able to stop the submarine.
The Team then travel with the orb to the Seafloor Cavern, where Groudon or Kyogre sleeps; the team then uses the orb to wake up the legendary Pokémon.
Once awakened, the Pokémon travels to the Cave of Origin and causes a drought (Ruby) or rainstorms (Sapphire).
When the player beats or catches the Pokémon, Hoenn's weather returns to normal.
The player can then collect the rest of the Pokémon in the game.
The music of Ruby and Sapphire is entirely game music; all speech is on-screen as text.
The music was composed by Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose and Morikazu Aoki, and have no lyrics, apart from for two tracks with vocals, "Trick Master" and "Slateport City".
The soundtrack of the game was released by Mediafactory in Japan on April 26, 2003; the album reached #297 on the Oricon charts and was there for one week.
Junichi Masuda wrote only  battle tunes, Go Ichinose wrote most of the town, route, fanfare & 'Spotted' tunes, whereas Morichi Aoki did the remainder.
Wii Sports is a sports game made by Nintendo for the Wii system in late 2006.
It was bundled with the Wii (except in Japan). (
This means that when people bought a Wii, they would also get a copy of Wii Sports).
The game has five sports which can be played - tennis, golf, baseball, bowling, and boxing.
The rules for each sport are simplified to make them easier for new players.
Although its main criticism is its lack of detail, its motion sensing gameplay and accessibility had a big impact on the video game market.
Wii Sports was well received and got lots of awards.
It sold over 82 million copies by the end of 2017.
This makes it the best selling single-platform game of all time, and fourth best overall.
Wii Sports is a collection of five separate sports games: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing.
The games use the motion-sensing Wii Remote in different ways.
When playing the games, the player moves the Wii Remote in a similar way to how the games are played in real life.
They can hold and swing the Wii Remote like a golf club, baseball bat or bowling ball.
Some parts of the gameplay are computer controlled.
For example, in tennis, the players movement is controlled by the Wii, and the swinging of the racket is controlled by the player.
Baseball uses batting and pitching, with all of the fielding controlled by the Wii.
The characters in the game are Miis.
Wii Sports is the first Wii game to use Miis.
Players can choose which Mii they want to play as.
Miis saved on the Wii will be in the crowd during bowling games and as team members in baseball.
The non-player characters in the game were also created using the Mii Channel.
After a game, a player gains or loses skill points based on how well they played compared to the computer's skill level.
Some games do not calculate points if the player is playing with other people (multiplayer) and not with a computer (single-player).
The game keeps track of points by putting them on a graph.
The more skill points a player has, the more people will be in the crowd during some games like Tennis and Boxing.
If a player gets 1000 skill points, they get the "Pro" rank.
The "Pro" rank gives the player some new features, such as a shiny bowling ball when playing Bowling.
If a player gets the "Pro" rank, the game will put a message on the Wii Message Board.
Wii Sports also has a fitness test that calculates a player's fitness age (from 20 to 80 years old, 20 being the best possible).
The test uses the player's performance in three randomly chosen challenges in each test from the training mode.
The fitness test can only be taken once a day for each Mii.
Fitness age takes into account a player's balance, speed, and stamina.
Fitness age results are graphed over one, two, or three months, with daily results on the Wii Message Board.
Wii Sports was made by Katsuya Eguchi, who managed a software development group at Nintendo.
The aim of the Wii was to appeal to people who had not played video games before.
To do this, they needed a game that let both experienced and new players play in a fun way.
Nintendo also wanted people to use the Wii daily, so they wanted to make Wii Sports a flagship game.
This is why Wii Sports has such simple graphics and gameplay.
Eguchi needed a widely familiar theme for the game, so he chose sports.
Instead of having professional athletes or realistic graphics, the game was designed to be easy so complicated gameplay was left out.
Motion-sensing actions used the Wii Remote's accelerometer to interpret movements, and Nintendo focused on actions like hitting to make them very realistic.
Nintendo did not think players would buy the Wii just to play Wii Sports, so they bundled it with the console, which helped it to sell a lot of copies.
Overall, Wii Sports was received well by critics for its basic pick-up and play style, even though it was criticised for lacking in graphic quality and not having much depth.
It received awards such as 6 BAFTA Gaming awards in 2007.
In 2009, it outsold Super Mario Bros to become the bestselling video game of all time.
In fact, it had sold 60.67 million copies worldwide by the end of 2009, which has now increased to 82.88 million copies, making it Nintendo's highest sold game.
Wii Sports has been featured on television in Wii commercials, news reports, and other programming.
Many competitions and social gatherings have been held by players of all ages to play it.
It is even used in some care homes so that elderly people can exercise.
A sequel, Wii Sports Resort, was released in 2009.
This was released with the Wii Motion Plus accessory.
The game has 12 sports.
Golf and Bowling, which were in Wii Sports, are also in this game.
A high-definition remake of the game, Wii Sports Club, was released in 2013 for the Wii U.
In February 2022, Nintendo announced a sequel to the game for the Nintendo Switch.
This sequel is called Nintendo Switch Sports.
It will be released on April 29th, 2022.
Tennis and Bowling, which were in Wii Sports, will be playable in the game when it releases.
A third game from Wii Sports, Golf, will be added in Fall 2022.
