Simple explanation of homo erectus in the framework of the history of the Universe About two million years ago Homo habilis evolved into the first people called Homo Erectus. Their bodies were like ours but their faces were still ape-like. They ate raw plants and meat, so they needed strong jaws to chew their food.

The evolutionary surge that led to Homo habilis began towards the end of the Pliocene Epoch around 2.5 million years ago when climates were becoming cooler and drier. The evolution of Homo erectus and later species of humans occurred during the following Pleistocene Epoch (1,810,000-10,000 years ago).
