Describe Homo erectus’s cranial and postcranial anatomical characteristics. How is this species significantly different from earlier hominids, and how did these characteristics increase the success of this species over that of their ancestors?

Do you think that it should be part of the genus Homo? Why or why not? cite your sources, have fun. You now know enough about our ancestors that you can come to some educated decisions!
