Re: 1 million years ago, who were humans predators?
Former archaeology/anthro student here:
There is some debate to this, but most modern archaeologists accept modern humans- [censored] Sapiens Sapiens- emerged from east Africa around 125k-200k years before present. [censored] erectus was our (likely) ancestor. There are numerous caves throughout Africa that contain fossilized skulls of early Hominids with jaguar puncture marks in them. They also had to deal with every other predatory animal. The erectus's most valuable asset was its intelligence, with a cranial capacity of 750-1250 cubic centimeters (pushing them into the lower range of modern humans). The erectus could easily plan and communicate with other erectuses (not yet as a developed language system, as the larynx was not yet low enough in the throat to produce what we consider spoken words) and formulate attacks and escapes. The erectus was most likely the first hominid to leave the continent of Africa. Their route of migration took them through southwest Asia (the Middle East), through China, Indonesia, and also upwards into Europe, where they evolved into [censored] heidelbergensis.
