Homo erectus is estimated to have lived around 1.9 million to 143,000 years ago. Their existence spanned for about 1.75 million years, making them one of the longest-lived species of early humans.
Homo erectus infants were most likely born at a similar size and development stage as modern humans, which is typically around 9 months gestation.
No, earlier hominin species such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus also walked on two legs. Homo erectus is known for its efficient bipedalism and long-distance walking capabilities.
Homo erectus had a larger brain size and more advanced tool-making abilities compared to Homo habilis, indicating a shift towards more complex thinking and problem-solving. Additionally, Homo erectus were the first hominins to migrate out of Africa, showing increased adaptability and capability for long-distance travel.
Most paleoanthropologists believe Homo erectus existed for approximately 1.9 million years, from about 2 million years ago to around 100,000 years ago.

Homo erectus neither invented nor used the wheel. The wheel was not developed until long after the first appearance of our own species, Homo sapiens.
Homo erectus had evolved into a state where his shoulders, arms and trunk were not suitable for long periods of climbing, would have been no better at climbing than Humans.
Homo erectus infants were most likely born at a similar size and development stage as modern humans, which is typically around 9 months gestation.
Homo habils lived longest than any group they lived 1.6 millon years long.

Homo erectus is estimated to have migrated out of Africa into Europe and Asia around 1.8 million years ago based on archaeological and fossil evidence.
Yes, Homo erectus was a fully bipedal species, meaning they walked upright on two legs. This adaptation allowed them to cover long distances efficiently and free their hands for other tasks like carrying tools or food.
