Homo Er ectus : A Real Human Race

Harun Yahya

Homo erectus means "upright man". All the fossils included in this species belong to
particular human races. Since most of the Homo erectus fossils do not have a common
characteristic, it is quite hard to define these men according to their skulls. This is the
reason why different evolutionist researchers have made various classifications and
designations. Above left is seen a skull which was found in Koobi Fora, Africa in 1975
which may generally define Homo erectus. Above right is a skull, Homo ergaster KNM-
ER 3733, which has the obscurities in question.
The cranial capacities of all these diverse Homo erectus fossils surge between 900-1100
cc. These figures are within the limits of the contemporary human cranial capacity.

KNM-WT 15000 or Turkana Child skeleton on the
right, is probably the oldest and the most com-
plete human fossil ever found. Research made on
this fossil which is said to be 1.6 million year old
shows that this belongs to a 12 year old child who
would become around 1.80 m. tall if he reached
adolescence. This fossil which very much resem-
bled to the Neanderthal race, is one of the most re-
markable evidence invalidating the story of
human's evolution.
The evolutionist Donald Johnson describes this
fossil as follows: "He was tall and skinny. His
body shape and the proportion of his limbs were
the same as the current Equator Africans. The
sizes of his limbs totally matched with that of the
current white North American adults." (Donald C.

Humankind, New York: Simon & Schuster, 1981)
