What did the homo erectus lived?
Homo erectus existed from the end of the Pliocene to the later Pleistocene epoch approximately 1.8 to 1.3 million years ago although the date is only an approximation.

Did homo erectus live alongside homo sapiens?
There are conflicting theories. Homo erectus was thought to have co-existed alongside Homo sapiens in Asia for 5,000 years. But some scientists now believe it disappeared from Asia at least 100,000 years before arrival of Homo sapiens.
Was homo erectus the second to appear on earth?
Homo erectus is believed to have appeared around 1.9 million years ago, making it one of the early human species, but not the second to appear on Earth. Homo erectus is considered an ancestor of modern humans and existed before other species like Homo sapiens.
In what order did the homo sapiens homo habilus homo erectus and neanthatdratal live?
The evolutionary order goes Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. Homo habilis appeared around 2.8 million years ago, followed by Homo erectus around 2 million years ago, Neanderthals around 400,000 years ago, and finally Homo sapiens around 300,000 years ago.
When did homo erectus die?
Homo Erectus is an extinct species that lived 1.3 to 1.8 million years ago
Homo erectus co-existed with what australopithecines?
Homo erectus coexisted with several species of australopithecines including Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, and possibly Australopithecus garhi. These australopithecines lived before the appearance of Homo erectus and were part of the evolutionary lineage that eventually led to humans.

When did homo erectus transform?
Homo Habilis didn't just transform into Homo Erectus. To answer your question, it was around 1.5-1.6 million years ago ;)
Were the Homo erectus the first people on earth?
Homo erectus were the predecessors of our own species, Homo sapiens, so they certainly lived on earth before us. However, the predecessors to Homo erectus were a species known as Homo habilis (2.4 to 1.5 million years ago).Then, depending on your definition of 'people', there were people even before Homo habilis - members of theAustralopithecus genus, going back more than 4 million years.
