The fossils had prominent brow ridges,
retreating forehead, and angled rear skull. After a few years, near where the skull was discovered, Dubois found a remarkably complete and modern-looking femur.
This bone was so similar to a modern human femur to the extent that made Dubois decided
that the individual to which it belonged must have walked erect, determining that the fossils he had found belong to “Homo erectus”, one of the direct ancestors of modern humans.Producer/Author Mohammed El-Said Persons KE Westaway
