So Homo erectus was quite inventive and widespread, but not quite the same as us because, you know, Alan Walker and Pat Shipman in their book, The Wisdom of Bones, which is about Homo erectus. So if we looked into the eye of one, we wouldn't see a human. We'd see a savanna predator. They were very much that. They made tools, but they made tools in a quite different way than we would.

And the reason we know that is nobody knows what a hand axe is actually for. So they made hand axes in a very stereotypical way, in the same way that bees make honeycombs or birds make nests. It was a kind of intrinsic thing.

Homo erectus, well, you said earlier that, in your opinion, Homo erectus was the most successful hominin, and I would completely agree, because Homo erectus was around from 2.5 million, and the last ones probably died out, maybe 100,000, maybe even more recently in Java. So almost 2.5 million years of very successful hominins.

history, which is an incredibly long time for a mammalian species that's generally lived for only a million years. But by that time, Homo erectus had more or less retired to a comfortable retirement home in Java, and its successors were all over Europe. And some of them were big and beefy. I mean, Homo heidelbergensis, which is probably not a real species, but a kind of mishmash of other ones.

These were big people. There was a shinbone was discovered at Box Grove in Sussex, which is about the size of a large modern male shinbone, but really thick and beefy. I mean, these people could have played for the British Lions. I mean, they were big people. There were some spears, wooden spears found at Schöningen in

In Germany, about 300,000 years old, these were fence posts, and yet they were used as weapons. In East Asia, a marvelous skull was discovered quite recently. There's an amazing story about the discovery of Homo longi, or dragon man. Ah, yes. And the skull, it's only a skull in Manchuria. The skull is at least as big as a modern human.

So considering that Australopithecus was only a meter so tall and with a skull of a chimp, you know, these people were big. I mean, you know, like Genesis 6 verses 4, maybe it's Genesis 4 verse 6. I can't remember. There were giants on the earth in those days. But there was more. They were the hobbits. Homo erectus became marooned on islands in Southeast Asia.
