Vedclass · Answer

The fossil of Java Ape-man was discovered from pleistocene rocks in central Java. The fossil of Peking man was discovered from the lime stone caves of Choukoution near Peking while that of Heidelberg man was discovered in mid pleistocene. All these three fossils come under the category of Homo erectus. Homo erectus appeared about $1.7$ million years ago in the middle pleistocene. H. erectus evolved from Homo habilis. He was about $1.5-1.8$ metres tall. He had erect posture. His skull was flat than that of the modern man. He had protruding jaws, projecting brow ridges, small canines and large molar teeth. He made more elaborate tools of stones and bones, hunted big animals and perhaps knew the use of fire.

Assertion : Jave Ape-man, Peking man and Heidelberg man are the fossils of Homo erectus.
