some evidence of a fairly complete skeleton and fossil Homo erectus is also found in many parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia, some 1.8 million
years old.
Based on the skull, the brain of Homo Erectus anthropologists estimate the average 850 cc to 1100 cc, smaller than the average modern human
brain. Modern races have different brain sizes average about 1150 cc to 1364 cc. This is the average brain size, and some individuals have a
smaller brain.
Hominid fossils were also found various researchers who tend to be named the new species based on bone fragments. Rhodesian Man is based
on a fairly complete skull and some fragments have a brain the size of 1100 cc. Homo ergaster found in Asia, has a brain the size range 700-1100
cc. Then the Heidelberg Man found throughout Europe, an average height of 6 meters with a brain the size of a modern human. So also the
species in South Africa with a height of about seven meters. So it is clear that the brain size of the fossils are not different species of human now,
although this opinion is contrary to Darwin's theory.
What about Homo habilis lived in East Africa about 2.3 million years ago to 1.4 million years ago? Anthropologists disagree stating Homo habilis
was the ancestor of modern humans. Estimated 590-710 cc brain size, and stone tools have been found in some fossil them but there is no
evidence that the equipment was made and used by the species Homo habilis.
Some anthropologists might even admit that habilis species apart from humans, and maybe even a mix of Homo Erectus and the remains of
australopithecines. Perhaps this is a kind of ape species that has become extinct. Then Australopithecus fossils found in Africa 4 million years
old. Their brain size 380-430 cc, and leg bones were found apelike Australopithecus.
