HOMO ERECTUS

This is pursuant to my pervious Hera / Juno – FIG page, concerning Luke 13:6-9 and 2 Peter 3:8, which calculates that marriage (looks discrimination) began about one million years ago

About one million years ago, several separate human species became “all of a sudden” extinct, leaving one Homo erectus.  And they all happened to be the ones that looked more apelike.  Homo erectus would have been aware of chimpanzees, gorillas, etc. as much dumber animals, hence leaving them alone, but killed out all of the other (close) humanlike / intelligent species that existed at the time, based mainly on their “inferiority” of more apelike features.  Along with evidence of much unexplained Homo erectus migration out of Africa about one million years ago, also likely to banish “ugly” people within their own species (many were likely killed while others were able to flee).

The Uglier Human Species

Okay, according to the charts, it looks like robustus and boisei are the main ones that got knocked off about one million years ago, with habilis, rudolfensis and ergaster, who were closer ancestry to erectus, being eradicated possibly about the same time.  By the way, this is one of those websites that still believes in God and the Bible, even though it did not elaborate where Cain’s wife came from (Genesis 4:17) – I guess one would have to just figure the obvious (that other people existed).

First of all, here are some pictures of Homo erectus:

Plus, compared to other primates, the reason we stand up straight and have larger legs, and smaller weaker arms, is a result of being out of the trees and on the ground longer; because, once we perfected the spear and especially the bow and arrow, we could walk freely because we didn’t need to fear predators.

Migration Out of Africa:

In “looks discrimination,” Homo erectus would have likely persecuted their own kind as well: mainly those who had the more ape like features; which would have caused / allowed a major flight out of Africa about one million years ago:

http://www.earthsky.com/teachers/articles/articles.php?id=19&p=5 (11-8-02), Who Were the Neandertals? (Continued): The DNA Evidence:

The older limit in this time interval was closer in time to the Homo erectus migration ("Out of Africa I") that occurred around 1 million years ago.

http://www.stanford.edu/~harryg/protected/chp18.htm (Stanford University), Australopithecines:

Most scholars agreed hominids did not leave Africa before about 1 million years ago, when Homo erectus expanded to Eurasia.

http://www.stanford.edu/~harryg/protected/evolve4.htm (Stanford University), The Origins of Modern Man:

Homo erectus migrated out of Africa 1 million years ago; his descendants formed separate populations. … Modern humans emerged as a completely new species in Africa just 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. About 100,000 years ago, began to migrate into the rest of the world. Instead of interbreeding with the locals, modern human replaced them, presumably driving all other human tenants on Earth to extinction.

http://www.stanford.edu/~harryg/protected/chp22.htm (Stanford University), Homo Erectus:

Most scholars agreed migration occur about 1 million years ago but there is continue debate over how much earlier than this had begun.

http://www.txtwriter.com/Onscience/Articles/humanevolution.html, Dr. George Johnson, On Science:

Homo erectus evolved from H. ergaster in Africa about a million years ago, and later migrated out, reaching Asia but perhaps not Europe. A third species evolved some 600,000 years ago in Africa, H. heidelbergensis. This species also moved out of Africa, taking with it sophisticated tool-making technology. From it arose, perhaps half a million years ago, and again in Africa, H. neanderthalansis ("Neanderthal man"). Neanderthals arrived in Europe from Africa about 130,000 years ago.

http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/~reffland/anthropology/anthro2003/origins/hominid_journey/asianerectus.html, The Initial Movement Out of African: Migrations of Homo Erectus:

It is clear that some form of Homo erectus with a larger brain in the range of 800 ml migrated out of the Africa. The timing of this event has traditionally been placed at around 1.0 million years ago.

http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2002/0705skull.shtml, Science Report on Small Skull Suggests
New View on Migration from Africa, “Window on Diversity”:

Until the discoveries at Dmanisi (Leo Gabunia and colleagues reported the first two in the 12 May 2000 issue of Science), researchers generally believed that the first human species to leave Africa departed only one million years ago, and that they had large brains and relatively advanced stone tools.

http://www.trussel.com/prehist/news297.htm, Early Man: Ancient skull may upset Africa migration theory:

Two years ago, the same researchers stunned experts on primitive humans by announcing the discovery of two skulls at Dmanisi that were dated at 1.7 million years old, making them the oldest human ancestral fossils ever found outside Africa, which is thought to be where humans first evolved. Before that discovery, it was thought that a more advanced human species first left Africa about 1 million years ago. … "My feeling is there should be a combination of reasons, not just one reason, that forced people out of Africa," he said.

Again, there were other Homo erectus travelers, but the major exodus out of Africa was about 1 million years ago.  Usually people don’t move from home, especially far from home, unless there’s some kind of conflict, so there must have been a lot of conflicts about a million years ago.

http://www.stanford.edu/~harryg/protected/evolve3.htm (Stanford University), Human Evolution:

Homo erectus was even the only human species who left the warmth of Africa about a million years ago.  Homo erectus desired to annihilate the other “ugly” human species, while the uglies of their own species were just pressured to disappear, or both:

http://www.magicdragon.com/UltimateSF/timelineCO.html#2-1M, Timeline Cosmic:

1,600,000 - 500,000 BC: Homo erectus direct human ancestor

"Then, about 1.8 million years ago, Homo erectus came: mighty warrior, skilled hunter, inventor, far-ranging explorer and king of all he surveyed. The size of a modern human and standing as straight, he developed a 1250cc brain, very close to modern man. Along the way he developed many new tools and weapons, invented clothing, and traveled out of Africa, the first hominid to do so. … The species definitely had speech. Erectus developed tools, weapons and fire and learned to cook his food.

http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n12/mente/evolution/evolution03_i.html (11-8-02), The Evolution of Intelligence: Part 3: The Evolution of Human Primates, “Homo erectus”:

1, 600,000 to 250,000 years ago.

Was the first human to travel widely and to occupy many continents. It was found in Java, Indonesia, China, Europe and Africa. It used tools and fire, lived in caves, hunted in groups and could survive in cold environments. Had about the same weight and height of modern humans.

http://www.innovations-report.de/html/berichte/biowissenschaften_chemie/bericht-8303.html, Man left Africa three times:

there was a second major human migration out of Africa between 400,000 and 800,000 years ago and a third about 100,000 years ago.

Neanderthal:

Neanderthal was probably killed out by our more recent ancestors, most likely because they were “uglier.”  Surely you’ve heard the saying “The only good Neanderthal is a dead Neanderthal” haven’t you?  Well, the Neanderthal was a lot less related to us than the American Indian; and, we pert’ near killed them all out.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DyeHard/dye990113.html, Leader of the Pack: Wolves May Have Been Human’s Best Friend, “Powerful Allies”:

When the first humans reached Eurasia, witch was already occupied by Neanderthals who had migrated out of Africa a million years earlier, they encountered the wolf for the first time.

http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n12/mente/evolution/evolution03_i.html (11-8-02), The Evolution of Intelligence: Part 3: The Evolution of Human Primates:

Scientists have recently announced the probable discovery of a common ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern man, named as Homo antecessor. It lived 800,000 years ago, in what is now Spain. Ultimately, Neanderthals  succumbed 30,000 years ago, probably due to competition with Homo sapiens sapiens, or by interbreeding with it, or both.
