Homo Erecutus was FIRST discovered by Eugene Dubois in 1891.
Most scientists consider Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens to be direct ancestors of modern humans. Our species, Homo sapiens, is believed to have evolved from a population of Homo heidelbergensis in Africa, while Homo neanderthalensis is considered a closely related sister group that inhabited Europe and parts of Asia.
Homo Heidelbergensis probably lived about 800,000 years ago.Improved Another Answer:Homo Heidelbergensis lived 400,000-600,000 years ago, they didn't live 800,000 years ago. But close guess whoever it is on top of me.
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".
No one is certain. Probably either Homo rhodesiensis orHomo heidelbergensis.
The common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Homo erectus is thought to be Homo heidelbergensis, which lived around 700,000 years ago. This species is believed to have given rise to both Homo sapiens and Homo erectus through divergent evolution.
Neanderthals evolved from Homo heidelbergensis.
Homo sapiens apparently evolved from versions of Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis.
Homo sapiens have many ancestors. One likely ancestor, for example, is Homo heidelbergensis.

Their bones were found near Heidelburg, Germany.☺

I doubt that any evidence, experiment, or research could prove that humans evolved from Neanderthals. Neanderthals and humans both evolved from Heidelberg Men (Homo heidelbergensis). Genetic evidence, cloning, and geometric reconstruction can effectively establish that humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) evolved from Homo heidelbergensis, but it is difficult to irrevocably prove something like that, as it cannot be, as far as we know, recreated in a laboratory.
most experts today agree that Homo heidelbergensis is the most likely candidate for being the immediate ancestor to man.
The current best theory of the origins of modern man point to western Africa as the place where first animals that can be called Homo Sapiens appeared. The earliest fossil that has been classified as Sapiens was found in the valley of the Omo river in south-western Ethiopia and are dated at around 190,000 years old.
