I would like to point out that I enjoyed your post regarding Homo erectus, which was comprehensively covered. Although you correctly mentioned that there are few or no proof for various tools used for hunting and self-defence, there are a few archaeological pieces of evidence that suggest their existence. Homo erectus’ fossils indicate or demonstrate that the species existed and inhabited several locales in the world such as; Kenya, South Africa, China, Spain as well as Indonesia. Homo erectus was an excellent choice for discussion within your post because it is regarded as the first fossil closely related to modern humans that, in a lot of habits and also shares several of its ecologies.
Individually, Homo erectus was characterised by a parallel range of body sizes when compared to modern humans, and it is recognised as the first human ancestor that had comparable torso and limb proportions to those observed in modern humans. This indicates that Homo
erectus it had started to walk on two feet as compared to his ancestors in a grassland environment that was more open, as opposed to swinging from forest tree branches as was the case with Homo habilis. Your statement regarding the unavailability of physical evidence that could explain specific features of Homo erectus was spot on because, when compared to Australopithecus remnants, Homo erectus fossils fail to preserve features associated with activities such as climbing. However, in agreement with your article, Homo erectus is seen to be similar to the life of modern man as demonstrated by his culture of using technology, tools as well as the culture to gather and hunt for food.
Just as indicated in your post, Homo habilis was characterised by much smaller teeth when compared with Australopithecus. However, Homo's tooth enamel appeared thick coupled with strong jaws. Essentially, this means that they used their teeth for chewing, in particular, hard foods that were unlikely seasoned. This adaptation may have come into play after their preferred types of foods increasingly became unavailable. In fact, dental research studies indicate that typical food diet was commonly versatile and flexible allowing them to eat or feed on a broad range of foods, composing of woody plants, leaves as well as several animal tissues. Nonetheless, it is important to note that Homo habilis did not specialize or routinely feed on hard foods such as dried meat, brittle nuts or hard tubers.
