Evolution

I think the most significant stage of human evolution was Homo Ergaster. Because of their advanced cooling systems and the ability to sweat, they were able to be in the sun longer than the other species in their environment. Also, because they could sweat while working, instead of panting, it allowed them to be able to communicate while moving. Communication is very important for us today and Homo Ergaster helped make it possible. Another important trait we received from them is the whites in our eyes which also helps with communication. Their large brains made them very aware of the environment they lived in, which helped with their survival and allowing us to be here today.

I agree i think their large brains and their ability to sweat are the two most important qualities they provided us with

I agree. Communication is a huge feature. I also think their awareness of the environment in comparison to other species was a huge breakthrough. Sweating and large brains also gave us the ability to innovate and think outside of our given realms.

I agree that Homo Ergaster is the most important stage of evolution because the change in their way of thinking. They were also able to communicate better with each other due to the whites in their eyes, and that is a large part of human communication today.
