Summary
| Description | Skeleton and a life reconstruction of the Homo erectus youth from Nariokotome, West Turkana. He had relatively long legs and short arms, as in modern humans, and it was originally proposed that the pelvis was narrow, as in modern humans also (Walker & Leakey, 1993). But the bone is damaged, and interpretation open to question. Later discovery of a complete pre-Neanderthal pelvis from Atapuerca in northern Spain (Arsuaga et al 1999) suggests wide illia were probably the general condition among early hominins, and it seems likely that a narrow pelvis only appeared with Homo sapiens. Reconstructed height 1.6 m. |
