No, that was a hoax.

Its Homo antecessor, Homo heidelbergensis, or Neanderthal Man.

Sorry, it was a weak attempt at humor. I was referring to the on-going discussions as to whether the co-location of the remains of so many hominids represents a centralized burial site or rather if it's merely the result of natural events (e.g., water washed into the cave).

If I remember correctly, the remains in the Sima de los Huesos are thought to be entirely Homo Heidelbergensis (ca. 350-400kya).
