  1. Are you referring to Homo floresiensis tagged "Hobbit"?

    If these little guys are possibly the last version of erectus. If this turns out to be the case, then old erectus made it all the way into modern times.

    A fascinating situation and possibly yet another nail in the coffin of..."creationism".


  2. Homo Erectus "is viewed at present as a grade of human evolution intermediate between the small-brained early Pleistocene hominids and the large brained Homo sapiens."  (From the article "Homo Erectus" hosted at Stanford University)

  3. Smaller than your brain?

    Went to your 360. Someone needs to reconnect with reality.

    I told you that reconnecting with reality was the way to go, but, obviously you did not listen. My answers are blocked to all, but especially you!!

  4. Well you may be more interested in the Neanderthal. While others were just developing their brains, the Neanderthal  could boost that theirs were HUGE. Now this brings up the question, does size matter?  Now experts say that it doesn't but man has defined himself by the size of his brain.  He claims that others with smaller brains inferior but also Neanderthal with a larger brain is inferior. Thus he has a size complex.  Look up personality disorders for more information.

  5. Yes, he was never fully erect.

  6. Homo erectus ("Upright Man") was the first hominid to leave Africa. His existence dates from 1.6 million years ago to perhaps 200,000 years ago. However, recent discovers have suggested that isolated populations may have existed even later.

    Early discoveries of Homo Eretus remains were variously named Peking Man, Java Man and Heidelberg Man. His range was all of Africa, most of Europe and as far East as China. Sites in California have been suggested as containing Homo erectus finds. No one had satisfactorily explained how the vast distance from China to California was crossed.

    Homo eretus used stone tools made by the Acheuliam process. This mainly produced a hand ax, a fist sized piece of rock that tapered to a point. The hand ax was suitable to be used as an ax, a knife, scrapper, or to dig roots.

    Camps are identified by the remains of the stone tools and the debitage (debris) left from their making. Bones, and stone circles also identify the camps. Inside the stone circles, believed to be the remains of huts made of hides or bush, are found hearths. Fire use is shown by the reddish color of the soil plus the remains of burned material (carbon products)

    While Homo erectus used and controlled   fire it isn't certain that he was able to create it. Most likely he was able to collect fire from lighting strikes and other natural sources. He then would maintain the fire and develop ways to carry embers to start more campfires. Fire can be made from percussion, striking sparks, by friction, rubbing wood together or by pressure as used in the fire piston. Homo erectus left no remains to suggest that he used any of these methods.

    Brain size is put at 850cc, height up to 6 feet and weight was comparable to modern humans. Modern humans have a brain size of about 1200cc. So your question:"Is it true that the Homo Erectus of Evolutionists is small?" would refer only to brain size.

    Considering how long he lived and how far he expanded. he did quite well.
