The first hominid species to move out of Africa and extend across Europe and Asia, including Indonesia. They created and used tools from the Oldowan and Acheulean technology. It has also been suggested that Homo erectus was the first to use rafts to cross water, to function in hunter-gatherer societies, and possibly used fire (I say possibly because the Homo erectus site of Zhoukoudian has some debate about whether or not fire was used). Also, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens are descendents of Homo erectus, so Homo erectus gave rise to our species.

Homo erectus are known to have been the first hominin species to systematically use fire for cooking food and keeping warm. They also developed more advanced tools and weapons, such as hand axes and spears, which allowed them to hunt more efficiently. Additionally, they are believed to have used language and social structures to communicate and cooperate with one another.
