Fossils

http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/species/homo-erectus


This article pretty much explains Homo Erectus and why it was important in our evolutionary time-line. A specific fossil that the article talked about was the
"Turkana Boy", which was a Homo Erectus skeleton that was still very complete and is said to be around 1.6 million years old. This fossil finding was important because they can get a lot of information on their life style and customs from a almost complete skeleton and they could even look at this boys teeth and find out the growth rate for this species and they found it was similar to a great apes rate of growth.
