And that includes Homo erectus.
And Homo erectus is the first one to actually leave Africa.
Their skull and face shape is pretty similar to Homo erectus, just smaller.
And so, it is possible that their ancestors were Homo erectus, and then they went through an evolutionary process called insular dwarfism.
Homo erectus, for example, survived for 2 million years - 10 times longer than modern humans have existed.
Homo erectus, for example, survived for 2 million years.
That's Homo erectus.
Well, that's Homo erectus.
Our close relative, Homo erectus, survived 10 times longer than we have existed.
Because this is exactly what our ancestors, the Homo erectus, did.
Now, if we make some guesses about how long Homo erectus lived, what their generation time was, that's about 40,000 generations of parents to offspring and other individuals watching in which that hand axe didn't change.
That keeps Neanderthals in the running, but it also means that an even older hominin, like Homo erectus, could have gossiped around the campfire as far back as 2 million years ago, even if they were using more of a gestured language to do so.

But in our lineage, starting with species like Homo erectus, the shape of our skulls began to change.

So it's not surprising that even though they had a few cavities, they had way fewer than the later, and more like us, Homo erectus from the same site.
Two million years ago, Homo erectus saw the world differently from anyone before—as something to be understood and transformed.
