Homo erectus
About 1,000,000 years ago, a new species called Homo Erectus roamed the earth. They are believed to be the first Homo species to live in other parts of the world such as Europe and Asia. Here is a picture of where they supposedly travelled or migrated to.
However, debate continues if Homo Erectus's are actually human ancestors. Some think this species is more of a 'sibling' to human beings whereas others believe it is a human ancestor. Without a doubt though, the Homo Erectus looked very much more human-like as you can see in this picture. Click on the image for a closer look...
Fun Fact: DreamWorks Animation film 'The Croods' is said to been based on Homo Erectus time period!
