Answer:

Homo erectus (meaning 'upright man') is an extinct species of archaic human from the Pleistocene, appearing about 2 million years ago,[2] and is one of the first recognisable members of the genus Homo. Homo erectus was the first human ancestor to spread throughout the Old World, having a distribution in Eurasia extending from the Iberian peninsula to Java. First discovered in Asia, Asian populations are referred to as H. erectus sensu stricto ("in the strict sense") and those beyond as H. erectus sensu lato ("in the broad sense"). African populations (including those referred to H. ergaster) are considered to be the direct ancestors of several human species, such as H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, and the former is generally considered to have been the direct ancestor to Neanderthals, Denisovans, and ultimately modern humans.[3][4] Asian populations of Homo erectus are likely ancestral to Homo floresiensis[5] and possibly to Homo luzonensis.[6] As a chronospecies, the time of its disappearance is thus a matter of contention or even convention. There are also several proposed subspecies with varying levels of recognition. The last known record of morphologically recognisable Homo erectus are the Solo man specimens from Java, around 117-108,000 years old
