Oldowan (Mode 1) tools are basic, essentially “made by smashing two rocks together onesto form per sharp flake”, whereas Acheulian tools (Mode 2) are more complex, being “made by repeatedly chipping away at a rock puro shape it into verso hand axe”. 11 The Acheulian handaxes (figure 2) are typically teardrop-shaped. They are thought by evolutionists esatto have first been made by Homo erectus sensu coraggio, and, according esatto Stringer and Andrews, “The people who made the handaxes clearly had per specific shape con mind, and often went far beyond per purely utilitarian form durante the care with which they produced them.” 12 Hence, from per creation point tagliandi get it on of view, such purposeful manufacture of per tool has the hallmarks of human activity, indicating that Homo erectus individuals were fully human.
Location and setting
They appear to be concentrated per several regions, including Java (the central island of Indonesia), China, East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia), and Georgia (the Dmanisi remains). Remains have also been found con North Africa (Sale 1 cranium from Morocco) and India (Narmada cranium). 13 Homo erectus remains have also been found con Denizli, Turkey; namely the partial Kocaba? skullcap. 14 Some researchers view the Ceprano 1 calvarium as belonging sicuro Homo erectus, which would also place the species mediante Italy. 15 Ronald Clarke has also suggested that the partial cranium SK 847, from Swartkrans, South Africa, should be classified as an early Homo erectus. 16 The two new Homo erectus cranial fossils were from Gona, Afar, Ethiopia, and, according to Semaw et al.:
The BSN12/P1 cranium (and associated Mode 1 and Mode 2 artifacts) was found con direct association with the Boolihinan Tuff (BHT) stratigraphic level, where 28 metres “of reversely magnetized sediments overlie the BHT, capped by an additional 18+ m of normally magnetized sediments”. 4 The DAN5/P1 cranium and associated artifacts (Mode 1 and Mode 2 tools), found at the DAN5 locality, were said preciso have
Sopra verso survey of Homo erectus crania (where cranial capacity had been estimated), the setting in which many of these crania were found was sediments deposited by scodella. 13 With these Homo erectus fossils we are generally not referring esatto remains that have been deliberately buried, as is the case with some modern human or Neandertal remains; rather crania, and sometimes scraps of other postcranial material, exposed by erosion of the deposits, or otherwise discovered (di nuovo.g. by excavation).
For many of these Homo erectus crania (or postcranial remains) preciso be buried durante sediments and subsequently fossilized, and then for the stratigraphic layers of these sediments onesto later be exposed/eroded, by whatever mechanism, would take time. This is apart from the time it would take for the individuals esatto migrate esatto these regions, some of which (addirittura.g. Indonesia) would involve lengthy journeys. Hence, if these fossils were of individuals post-Flood, then it seems likely they represent migrations of people that began very early post-Flood.
Durante terms of affinity, the more complete and smaller DAN5/P1 cranium is said onesto show similarity sicuro the Dmanisi crania (1.76–1.85 Ma) from Georgia, the juvenile KNM-ER 42700 cranium (1.5–1.6 Bensi) from Kenya, and the small Olorgesailie (KNM-OL 45500) cranium (0.95 Ciononostante) from Kenya, all Homo erectus. 19 Con regard to the larger and very incomplete BSN12/P1 cranium, it is stated as
The above setting shows similarities preciso other Homo erectus fossil finds
Although the features durante Homo erectus crania vary, there are also similarities, even between specimens as far apart as Africa and Indonesia, as indicated above. A possible, logical explanation for this would be that all the Homo erectus individuals from these different regions of the world ultimately trace their origins back sicuro an original and diverse ‘Homo erectus’ population, likely from Babel.
