Expansion of Homo erectus out of Africa
Members of the species Homo erectus, shortly after their emergence (geologically speaking) form populations that inhabit not only the African area, but for the first time they leave Africa and inhabit the area of Europe and Asia. This kind of expansion outside the African continent is proof that Homo erectus was able to adapt to and survive in different environments with different animal and plant species and different climate conditions throughout Eurasia.
The oldest finds of the genus Homo outside of Africa were found at the Dmanisi site in Georgia (about 1.8 million years ago), and then the remains of the genus Homo or their activities (tools or cut animal bones) were found in Indonesia (about 1.8 to 1 ,6 million years), China (about 1.7 million years) and finally in Spain (about 1.2 million years).
