Well considering that the H.s. in the "Out of Africa" nonsense is itself
an African population of Eurasians, they're one and the same.
Heidelberg man has been placed in Africa by paleo anthropology in the
past.

It had large brain, so a lot of those stupid scientists really *wanted* that he would be the ancestor of H.sapiens, but this was just a wishful thinking, and the product of wrong preconceptions, nothing more.

He was the ancestor, in so far as any one species could be. Heidelberg
man was "an" ancestor.

         Of course, things are, probably, much more complex, but we can safely group H.Heidelbergensis and Neanderthals together, and exclude H.sapiens from this grouping.

At it's surface, I can't see how. We see a fairly modern group pre
dating any so called "Modern," many claiming to have spanned Europe and
Africa... there's no way it wasn't an ancestor.

         The search of the document for the words "throw" or "thrust" gives only one sentence: "The final death blows likely came at close range with spears thrown over a short distance or with thrusting spears."

It's been a while since I read up on the finds, and the newer the claims
the more bullshit, but are they saying to have found thrusting spears?
