I'm not too sure what you are refering to here. Boxgrove Man is c. 500 ka old
and either H.e or (if you believe Rightmire, 1996) possibly early H.h. (H.e. or its
European equivalent gets my bet). An article on the site is at:
Roberts, M., Stringer, C.B. & Parfitt, S. (1994) A hominid tibia from Middle
Pleistocene sediments at Boxgrove, UK. Nature. 369. 311-3.
