What was the time period homo erectus lived in?

Homo erectus lived approximately 1.9 million to 143,000 years ago. They were one of the first hominin species to move out of Africa and spread across different continents.


Were homo erectus only found in Africa?

Homo erectus fossils have been found in various locations outside of Africa, including Asia and Europe. This suggests that Homo erectus had a wide geographical distribution during their time on Earth.


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.


What was the weather like were homo habilis lived?

Homo habilis lived in East Africa around 2 million years ago, which was generally warm and tropical with seasonal variations in rainfall. The climate was likely similar to parts of modern-day Kenya and Tanzania, characterized by grasslands and woodlands.


Did the homo erectus have a government?

Not in the way you are thinking. There is evidence that by the time of Homo Erectus, man was loosely confederating into mutually helpful and supportive groups, but 99% of the time Homo Erectus was just trying to survive.

Who invented the first homo erectus?

Homo erectus is a species of early human that evolved in Africa around 2 million years ago. There is no single inventor of Homo erectus; it is a result of a series of evolutionary changes that occurred over time in the human lineage.


What were the humans in between homo erectus?

Now that is quite tricky, because there wasn't really a species between us and homo erectus-not in ancestral terms, anyway. One species that was our more direct ancestor that lived around the time of erectus would be Homo heidelbergensis, who was the direct ancestor of Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis, better known as the Neanderthal.

Why are Australopithecus Homo habilis and Homo erectus are different from Homo sapiens?

. Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus are different from Homo sapiens because the Homo sapiens have a larger brain mass and larger skull structure. The modern human today is related to the early homo sapiens but back then they where a lot shorter and more robust than we are today. And the Australopithecus africanus, Homo erectus and Homo habilis where they had ape like brains but human like jaws and were bipedal.


Who were the five groups of early humans?

The five groups of early humans are Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. These groups evolved over time and shared common ancestors, with Homo sapiens being the only surviving group.
