Question

Homo erectus evolved during
A. Pleistocene
B. Miocene
C. Pliocene
D. Holocene
.

Answer 1

Hint: This period is referred to as the period of last ice age. This species of genus Homo dispersed to African region nearly 1 million years ago. The very first fossils of H. Erectus were discovered in 1891 on the Indonesian island of Java

Step by step answer:The emergence of human genus Homo, from bipedal apes categorised as hominins, is a characteristic feature of the Pleistocene era. However, they resembled more with the previous apes. A new type of taller, psychologically more evolved hominid appeared at the dawn of the Pleistocene era. Earliest human species appeared about 2.3 million years ago and were named Homo habilis. They produced cutting tools from rocks and were worse more intelligent than the previous hominins. Homo erectus evolved after them around 2 million years ago.. These species of humans are considered to be the earliest human species to have control over fire. They used a simple set of tools made of stones that was primarily used for scavenging meat. This indicates that they were hunter-gatherers.
The answer to this question is option A i.e. pleistocene.

Additional Information:The Marine oxygen isotope record is the standard in recording the chronology of various timelines and ages that have occurred on the earth. The Marine oxygen isotope record analyses the oxygen isotope record of the shells of microorganisms that lived in the oceans.

Note: Pleistocene epoch is sub-divided into four timelines, that are: the gelasian, calabrian, ionian and tarantian periods.
