Illustrates the comparable dates assigned to ''Homo erectus'', anatomically modern ''Homo sapiens'', [[Neanderthals]], and Early African/Asian ''Homo sapiens''.

Skulls with ''Homo erectus''-like features are found around the globe in location such as Europe, Asia, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa. Furthermore, researchers have shown that ''Homo erectus'' and ''Homo sapiens'' traits occur concurrently in strata at many locations. Thick-vaulted and gracile (thin-vaulted) skulls are often found to co-occur in the same strata showing that they lived at the same time and place.<ref name=woodmorappe/> | Skulls with ''Homo erectus''-like features are found around the globe in location such as Europe, Asia, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa.
