Steinheim man, also known as Homo steinheimensis, is an extinct hominid species. Synonyms for this term include "Steinheim skull", "Steinheim hominid", and "Steinheim cranium". These alternative names are often used interchangeably when referring to the fossil remains found in Steinheim am Albuch, Germany in 1933. The discovery of the Steinheim man drew significant attention from archaeologists and anthropologists due to its age and similarities to other early human remains found in Europe. Despite its importance in the study of human evolution, the Steinheim man remains shrouded in mystery, with many questions surrounding its exact relation to other ancient hominids.
