Homo Hispanicus was the title of the last work of the great Spanish palaeontologist Emiliano Aguirre. We have taken it as a tribute and as an emblem of the importance of peninsular evolution in the whole of human evolution. Emiliano Aguirre visited the Olduvai sites in the distant sixties of the last century and compared them with the sites of Orce, a place with the oldest human presence on the Iberian Peninsula. In these episodes we visit these sites and others such as Atapuerca and Barranco de la Boella. The discovery of the fossils that make up a human face in the Sima del Elefante in Atapuerca or the dismemberment of a large elephant a million years ago in La Boella help us to understand the difficult plot of peninsular evolution. María Martinón Torres, Enrique Baquedano and Marina Mosquera are some of the scientists who have participated in this production that updates the general knowledge on human evolution.
