Whatever Happened to Homo erectus?

Who's your (ancient) daddy? Did he walk upright? Could he control fire? Did he have a brow ridge that wouldn't quit?! Then maybe he was a Homo of the erectus - not so sapient - type. Many new Homo erectus specimens have been added to the global repository in the past decades, and many new interpretations have followed. It is more that most can easily digest. Come join professor Henry Gilbert, discoverer of the Daka Homo erectus cranium, to have the Pleistocene evidence of your ancestors' evolutionary history explained.
