Who did Homo Erectus clothes look like?

Homo erectus did not wear clothes as they lived before the invention of textile production. Their bodies were covered in hair, similar to other primates, providing some protection against the elements.


Where was the Homo Erectus found?

The genus Homo erectus was originated in Africa and spread all the way to China and Java. They were considered to be a direct ancestor of modern humans. They migrated during the Early Pleistocene around 2.0 million years ago and spread around to the rest of the Old World. Scientists have found fossilized remains that were 1.8 and 1.0 million years old. Some Scientist believe that Homo erectus and Homo ergaster are separate species, but others think they are one group called (Homo sapiens). There are other closely related species like Homo georigicus, and Homo habilis. Homo ergaster is an extinct homo species. They lived in southern and eastern Africa about 1.9 million years ago (during the Pliocene epoch). They are probably extinct because of their deformities. Such as their thinner skull bones, lack of an obvious supraorbital sulcus, protruding face, and lower forehead. These deformities caused them many disadvantages. The population of Homo georgicus is very small. There fossils are about 1.8 million years old. There remains were discovered in 1991 by David Lordkipanidze and his international team. A partial skeleton was discovered in 2001. They also found Implements and animal bones alongside the ancient homo remains. Homo habilis lived from 2.5-1.6 million years ago. Mary and Louis Leakey found fossils in Tanzania, East Africa between 1962 and 1964. Homo habilis is the earliest known species of Homo erectus. Homo habilis is the least similar species to modern humans than any other homo type. Homo habilis were short and had unusually long arms. Homo erectus people started being found in the early 1960s. Erectus is one of the better known members of genus Homo. Some people think that erectus is a wrong group of organisms. Others think that they should be split into many groups. That they split up Asia and then Africa. Questions about how Homo erectus evolved are still under disagreement. Homo erectus means "upright man" who lived about 1.8 million years ago. They disappeared about 70,000 years ago. Homo erectus people are right in the middle of Homo habilis and Homo sapiens. Homo erectus is thought as an ancestor of Homo sapiens. Homo erectus people had more human like characteristics, for example a more upright-standing. They also had a larger brain. Their brains were 75% the size of Homo sapiens. Their heads were less sloping, their teeth were smaller, and they developed more complex tools. Some of those tools were used for 1.2 million years ago to about 500,000 years ago. Some of the tools I talked about in the last paragraph allowed Homo erectus people to defend themselves for the very first time. One of their tools was fire. They might have tried to control fire, which is not a typical behavior for Homo erectus. The harnessing of fire started about 100,000 years ago. Homo genus is the fourth of the great apes. Homo sapiens are the only surviving member of the homo group. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans are all part of the homo family. Homo erectus lived between 1.8 and about 500,000 years ago. They emerged in Africa and migrated as far as Southeast Asia. Homo erectus people look very similar to modern humans. Homo erectus people didn't have the ability for complex speech. Homo people were the first people to move out of Africa and the first to use fire in a controlled way. They were the first people to make a tool industry that make hand axes. Homo erectus is not only one species it is many species of homo. They are all our ancestors too. There are Homo habilis, Homo georgicus, and Homo ergaster. There are probably many more species of homo. Well that's all for now. By Alyssa Wheeler


What did the Homo erectus look like?

similar to homo sapiens, but their teeth were larger. There brains was about 800 -500 cc smaller than ours. They were also on average a little shorter than us. There jaw protruded a little more than ours similar but not exactly like a monkeys.

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 does the Homo Heidelbergensis look like?

Homo Sapiens, are a species of the Homo genus. There were two subspecies of Homo sapiens, known as "Homo sapiens sapiens" and "Homo sapiens idaltu". The Homo sapiens sapiens are the only surviving species of the entire Homo genus, and are commonly known as humans. The direct ancestor, the Homo sapiens idaltu looked very similar to how modern humans look today. However, as for the general question "What do homo sapiens look like", look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.


Are homo sapien sapiens the same as homo sapiens?

Yes, homo sapien sapiens is the same as homo sapiens. The term "homo sapien sapiens" specifically refers to modern humans, while "homo sapiens" is the binomial nomenclature for the human species.


What is the early ancestors of humans?

The ancestor of modern homo sapiens is Australopithecus Afarensis. Australopithecus's ancestor is a giant oragutan-like primate. Its real cool. You should look it up. The ancestor of the giant oragutan i just mentioned is the first monkey-like animal ever (found). Its called Plesidapis. It sort of looks like a monkey type thing but at the same time it looks like a small dog with a monkey tail. Its weird. But cool. You should look it up. (oh, and if you ever do look it up on images or somthing, don't pay any attention to the ones that look like raccoons. They did not look like raccoons. Trust me. I got a seventh sense about these things).
