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 the stratigraphic layer 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]].
