Homo erectus is known as “the upright man”. The homo erectus lived the longest out of all hominins other homo sapiens. The homo erectus started out as an Asian specie, but then it spread out all of Europe and Africa as well.
One of their capabilities are the ability to make tools. It is really important to be able to have tools because it helps this specie by hunting for food or cutting up really hard materials to make shelter.
Another capability they had was the ability to make fire. Fire helps this specie to survive in the cold weathers and winter. Also, the fire can help this specie cook their food. The homo erectus also improved a lot of their sources compared to the homo habilis. They had fire to help them cook food, keep warm and scare off and harmful beasts.
In conclusion, homo erectus are much improved species to their past specie, homo habilis. The homo erectus is a lot more like the homo sapiens sapiens than the homo habilis. The homo erectus helped us evolve to the homo sapiens sapiens that we are today.
