A replica Homo erectus skull reconstructed from some of the Zhoukoudian fossils.
He looks happy.
Thanks!
It looks as if the canines of Homo Erectus had already become similar to modern mans uniform line, rather than the long protruding canines of apes. Sudden thought. Were vampires remnant humanoids with longer canines and cannibal habbits?
Given the revised dating, I wonder if the cold period/ice age could have been precipitated by the Long Valley, CA caldera event around 700,000 years ago? Also, perhaps they were very hairy. My late husband, whom I swear must have had at least 4% Neanderthal genes, was very hairy.
