I think that Home Ergaster was the most important stage because it was when communication became much more effective. It was when eye whites first became prevalent. They started sweating instead of panting which made talking easier. I think further communication was a big step in human evolution.

I believe the most important stage of evolution is the Homo Sapien/ modern day human stage, because we have imaginations, unlike all of the previous stages.

I think that the neanderthals stage was most important. They are physically and mentally tough which is great for there harsh environment. Also, there brains don't let them feel pain as bad or things like the cold as much so they could survive better and keep pusing on with survival. Building on, they had big noses to cool them down so they would not sweat as much. If you sweat in the cold it will freeze and you will die so they were adapted well.

I agree with Rob imagination is what turn the key for early humans allowing us to take yet another step in this ever evolving quest to build a stronger and smarter human.

i think homo sapian is the most important cause like what rob said we have emagination and we have evolved to use our surroundings to go above and beyond what is needed to survive.
