Fossilized remains of Homo erectus sensu apparenza have been discovered per the landmasses of Africa and Eurasia
Oldowan (Mode 1) tools are basic, essentially “made by smashing two rocks together esatto form verso sharp flake”, whereas Acheulian tools (Mode 2) are more complex, being “made by repeatedly chipping away at per rock sicuro shape it into a hand axe”. 11 The Acheulian handaxes (figure 2) are typically teardrop-shaped. They are thought by evolutionists puro have first been made by Homo erectus sensu apparenza, and, according to Stringer and Andrews, “The people who made the handaxes clearly had per specific shape in mind, and often went far beyond verso purely utilitarian form mediante the care with which they produced them.” 12 Hence, from per creation point of view, such purposeful manufacture of per tool has the hallmarks of human activity, indicating that Homo erectus individuals were fully human.
Location and setting
They appear to be concentrated sopra several regions, including Java (the central island of Indonesia), Pendio, East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia), and Georgia (the Dmanisi remains). Remains have also been found per North Africa (Sale 1 cranium from Morocco) and India (Narmada cranium). 13 Homo erectus remains have also been found sopra Denizli, Turkey; namely the partial Kocaba? skullcap. 14 Some researchers view the Ceprano 1 calvarium as belonging puro Homo erectus, which would also place the species durante Italy. 15 Ronald Clarke has also suggested that the partial cranium SK 847, from Swartkrans, South Africa, should be classified as an early Homo erectus. 16 The two new Homo erectus cranial fossils were from Gona, Afar, Ethiopia, and, according sicuro Semaw et al.:
The BSN12/P1 cranium (and associated Mode 1 and Mode 2 artifacts) was found con direct association with the Boolihinan Tuff (BHT) stratigraphic level, where 28 metres “of reversely magnetized sediments overlie the BHT, capped by an additional 18+ m of normally magnetized sediments”. 4 The DAN5/P1 cranium and associated artifacts (Mode 1 and Mode 2 tools), found at the DAN5 locality, were said onesto have
Mediante a survey of Homo erectus crania (where cranial capacity had been estimated), the setting sopra which many of these ciò che è hinge crania were found was sediments deposited by tazza. 13 With these Homo erectus fossils we are generally not referring esatto remains that have been deliberately buried, as is the case with some modern human or Neandertal remains; rather crania, and sometimes scraps of other postcranial material, exposed by erosion of the deposits, or otherwise discovered (anche.g. by excavation).
For many of these Homo erectus crania (or postcranial remains) preciso be buried in sediments and subsequently fossilized, and then for the stratigraphic layers of these sediments to later be exposed/eroded, by whatever mechanism, would take time. This is apart from the time it would take for the individuals puro migrate esatto these regions, some of which (ancora.g. Indonesia) would involve lengthy journeys. Hence, if these fossils were of individuals post-Flood, then it seems likely they represent migrations of people that began very early post-Flood.
In terms of affinity, the more complete and smaller DAN5/P1 cranium is said sicuro esibizione similarity to the Dmanisi crania (1.76–1.85 Tuttavia) from Georgia, the juvenile KNM-ER 42700 cranium (1.5–1.6 Pero) from Kenya, and the small Olorgesailie (KNM-OL 45500) cranium (0.95 Pero) from Kenya, all Homo erectus. 19 Con regard sicuro the larger and very incomplete BSN12/P1 cranium, it is stated as
The above setting shows similarities puro other Homo erectus fossil finds
Although the features con Homo erectus crania vary, there are also similarities, even between specimens as far apart as Africa and Indonesia, as indicated above. A possible, logical explanation for this would be that all the Homo erectus individuals from these different regions of the world ultimately trace their origins back preciso an original and diverse ‘Homo erectus’ population, likely from Babel.
