Primitive features of Homo heidelbergensis include a large, prognathic face, lacking a projecting chin. This is in contrast to modern humans who have a flat face with a projecting chin. They also have a skull with more vertical sides compared to their earlier ancestor, Homo erectus. Additionally, Homo heidelbergensis had a braincase capacity of around 1200 to 1400 cc, which is larger than Homo erectus but smaller than modern humans.
