When I was a freshman in college I went to the library in San louis Obispo to see what they had on human evolution.

There was not a single book.

So for the next 60 years whenever science made new discoveries on our evolution I read about them e.g. Louis Leaky and then Donald Johanson and the new discoveries from DNA analysis.

Homo Erectus was a very successful ancestor that lived for about 2 million years and had a cranial capacity of about 900 CC's. They only went extinct about 50,000 years ago, or so.

We have a cranial capacity of around 1350 to 1500 CC's, but Neanderthal, who we interbred with had a cranial capacity of 1500 to 1800 CC's!

Today we know we had dozens of ancestors. We also know we interbred with two other species, Denisovans and one we have no fossil evidence of.

I don't know enough about Erectis to know and doubt you do either. The other were types of humans.
