Do homo erectus and sapiens have the same species?
No, H. sapiens arose out of local populations of H. erectus in Africa, Asia and Europe. Although, there is the single origin hypothesis theory that modern humans (H. Sapiens) arose out of a single population of late H. erectus in Africa around 150,000 years ago.
Did homo sapiens and homo erectus live at the same time?
The oldest examples of Homo Sapiens is from the Omo remains, presumably dating back to 195,000 in Ethiopia. It was another 60,000 years until Homo Sapiens remains become prolific and visible in other parts of the world. This supports the "out of Africa" theory that Homo Sapiens, like many of the other hominid species evolved in Africa and spread out from there. Homo Erectus is mostly found in other parts of the world. There is no clear consensus within the Palaeoanthropology community whether Homo Erectus is a direct link to Homo Sapiens or whether Homo Sapiens came from within a different line that existed at the same time in Africa. There were many different hominid species that existed during this time frame, and indications are that it may be the most diverse period of hominid specie existence in the earth's history. To date, Homo Sapiens is the only known hominid with a high forehead, flat face, and thin, flat brows. It resembles much more closely Homo Heidelbergensis than Homo Erectus.
Christian religion and explanation for homo erectus?
Christian religion holds in term that the Bible mentioned this species that had gone extinct, lived once with humans. A pretified foot print has been discovered along a pretified human foot print. The same goes for the homo erectus.
What comes after homo erectus?
Homo sapiens is a largely biological designation and science does not allow issues of spirit to tread upon it. But the world is changing quickly. Issues of the spirit are on the rise and the next stage of human evolution already has some names floating around: homo spiritus homo sanctus It's a change in which either science, or common perception dictates that we do have spirits, and are divine, destined for immortality. http://www.paep.ca/en/CIYL/2002/doc/peck_homo_sapiens.pdf
Who hominid was the first to migrate out of the continent on which hominid first appeared?
The Homo Eretus(Upright Man in latin) were the first homind to migrate and the first to care for each other. Also the first to create fire and hunt
Which organism are closely related to a human?
Homo sapiens and Homo erectus
What weapons did homo sapiens use to kill food?
The Homo erectus probably used stone weapons with some wood attached to it.
What was Homo erectus?
Homo erectus (meaning "upright man") is an extinct species of hominid that lived throughout most of the Pleistocene geological epoch. Its earliest fossil evidence dates to 1.9 million years ago and the most recent to 70,000 years ago.
What evidence tells us that homo erectus migrated to Asia and Europe?
Bones of homo erectus in these areas have been discovered.There are actually two theories of the origin of homo erectus:they originated in Africa and migrated to Eurasiathey originated in Eurasia and migrated to AfricaBones have been discovered in the Caucasus region and are believed to have been either around the same time or even earlier than those that have been found in Africa.
When and where the man first found on earth?
The human line goes back through our own species, Homo sapiens, then Homo erectus and Homo habilis. Earlier hominid species, going back as far as seven million years, could also be included in the definition of 'man' if we wish.Homo erectus and Homo habilis definitely evolved in Africa. Based on the evidence of fossils, most scholars believe modern humans, Homo sapiens, also evolved in Africa, but there is a 'multi-regional' hypothesis that evolution of our species occurred in Africa and Asia at much the same time, around two hundred thousand years ago. The earliest Homo sapiensfossils in Europe date back approximately 35 thousand years.
How did prehistoric people survive?
Are you speaking of 'Homo sapiens'? I suggest you look up homo erectus, homo habilis, and australpolithecus afarensis. The techniques that those bands used millions of years ago are the same techniques homo sapiens used. They hunted, made clothing, and also discovered farming. They were running out of food, so they tried planting old seeds that fell to the ground. The process started over and over again, thus inventing a new way of getting healthy food. Homo sapiens gathered and gathered and now we do the same. Before, Homo habilis and erectus were carnivores, eating and hunting animals. But homo sapiens are eating healthier to get energy. Since they didn't want anything to go to waste, they took the leftover bone and carved it with sharp flint so they can shoot it into the animal's heart. Homo sapiens took the skin and cleaned it, made clothes, and now they've used all the parts of the animal.
Why did Homo Erectus disappear?
"homo habilis died out because homo sapiens took over"Actually, I'm pretty sure H. habilis went extinct between 1.6 and 1.4 million years ago whereas Homo sapiens originated about 200,000 years ago. It is possible that Homo ergaster could have driven Homo habilis to extinction, although probably not violently. More likely, it was a combination of multiple factors. I'd guess the usual culprits: climate change, scarcity of food due to Homo ergaster eating all of it...
