| Abstract | The taxonomic impact on Homo erectus induced by a preerectus-out-of-Africa paradigm is preliminarily discussed in this article. Some of the early Homo species in Asia should be allocated to another taxon rather than to H. erectus, although their real identities are not yet readily apparent. Asian H. erectus may be taxonomically distinct from African H. ergaster. Differences between two samples of H. erectus from Java and China, suggesting taxonomic diversity or only geographical variances between these subsets, need further study. Reasons are advanced against the proposal to lump H. erectus into H. sapiens. |
