During prehistoric times Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens roamed the earth with their similarities and differences. Homo Sapiens, also known as “the wise men” in Latin, lived about 1 million years ago. Homo Erectus, known for “walking man” or “upright man”, lived 1.8 million years ago. This tells us that Homo Erectus came before Homo Sapiens. Research shows that they could have been living at the same time period. Homo Sapiens borrowed useful survival techniques from Homo Erectus in order to help them survive. In the end, the differences between the two were the things that helped Homo Sapiens survive to this day.
Fire; the tool for survival, warmth, and hunting. Fire was a major utensil in the lives of hominids. Fire created heat to keep hominids warm when the temperatures were cooler. Fire was crucial for keeping wild animals away and this gave …show more content…
Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus used most of the same tools, their tools were so advanced that it was easier to hunt. Homo Sapiens used flint to sharpen their tools, knives, spears, etc. Our early ancestors mostly hunted reindeer, deer, and wild boars. They made tools from animal bones, antlers, and elephant tusks. Early man made tools with sticks, Homo Erectus lived close to lakes and rivers, which tells us that some of their diet was comprised of fish. Ultimately, the tools they used for survival affected their lifestyle in a substantial
