What was the height of a female homo erectus?
Homo erectus ranges in height from 54-67 cubic inches, it has a massive jaw and no chin.
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.
What are the 7 scientific names of a human?
There is some dispute about the "seven" names. However, we do have "homo sapiens", "homo neandertalensis", "homo heidlebergensis","archaic homo sapiens", "homo ergaster","homo erectus", and "homo habilis".
When did homo erectus disappear?
Homo erectus is believed to have disappeared around 140,000 years ago, based on fossil evidence. However, some researchers suggest that populations of Homo erectus may have survived in isolated pockets until as recently as 50,000 years ago.
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

Did Homo Erectuses know how to swim?
It is not definitively known if Homo erectus knew how to swim, as there is limited evidence available. However, some researchers suggest that Homo erectus may have had the capability to swim to some extent based on the fact they inhabited areas near water bodies and evidence of seashell harvesting.
What languages were spoken by homo erectus?
If Homo erectus was capable of language, it would have likely been some kind of proto-language, which lacked complete grammar and syntax of modern languages. But know one knows for certain.
What did the homo erectus use for medicine?
Homo erectus likely used medicinal plants, as archaeological evidence suggests they had knowledge of herbal remedies. They may have also used some minerals and animal parts for medicinal purposes.
What is the difference between homo habilis and homo erectus?
There are many physical and cultural differences between Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Diet: Homo erectus had a much larger proportion of meat in its diet than Homo habilis. Also, H. habilis had stronger teeth so it could eat tougher foods. They both ate their veggies and bone marrow. Fire: H. erectus discovered fire and used it for hunting, fighting, scaring animals, cooking, and making tools, while H. habilis did not have control of fire. Tools: Homo erectus created far more sophisticated stone tools than Homo habilis, and is most well known for its sophisticated biface handaxes. They both had spears and stone tools. Distribution: Homo habilis is only found in Africa, while Homo erectus has a much wider distribution not only Africa but also spreading across areas of Europe and Asia. Morphology: Homo erectus had a proportionally larger brain than Homo habilis, and smaller teeth. See related links below for modern reconstructions of these species physical appearance. Posture: H. erectus walked upright, much like the modern human. However, H. habilis stooped over and did not walk upright. Erectus means upright and habilis means handyman.
