Question

Homo erectus is believed to be the first species found outside _____. Asia Europe Africa America

Answer 1

Answer: Africa

Homo Erectus were descended from the species Homo Sapiens, which were only found in Africa, and the first fossils of this particular species were found as far as 1.9 million years ago. From what we can tell, Homo Erectus was established as a species in South East Asia first.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Africa.

Africa is where the Homo Erectus (and later Homo Sapiens) originated. Then they walked out of Africa around 1.8 million years ago - a lot earlier than Homo Sapiens (less than 200 000 years ago).
