Final answer:

The skull features of African Homo Erectus vary in their shape, jaw and teeth size, and locomotion characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skull features of African Homo Erectus vary in several ways:

  1. Their skull is shaped more like Homo erectus or Homo habilis, with a sagittal keel - a small raised ridge on top of the skull.
  2. They have small jaws and teeth, with the third molar being larger than the other molars.
  3. They have a human-like gait and bipedal locomotion.
  4. Their feet have arches and ankles similar to humans.
