Résumé

The Sima de los Huesos site (Sierra de Atapuerca), contains one of the most important Middle Pleistocene sample of human fossils from the European fossil record. To date, more than four thousand human remains have been recovered, which represents a minimum number of 28 individuals. A total of 93 specimens belong to the rachis, which are part of minimum number of 76 vertebral elements (33 cervical, 27 thoracic and 16 lumbar vertebrae) that represent at least 9 individuals. A biometrical and a morphological preliminary analysis of the most complete vertebrae has been made and our study reveals that despite most of the metrical dimensions are well within the modern human range, the Sima de los Huesos vertebrae share some features with the Neanderthals that differs both of them from Homo Sapiens.
