A new study reveals that Homo erectus, an extinct human species, successfully inhabited a brutal, arid desert landscape a million years ago.
This discovery challenges the previous understanding of human adaptability, previously considered a unique trait of Homo sapiens alone.
Researchers examined fossil evidence from Tanzania, demonstrating Homo erectus's remarkable resilience in this extreme environment.
The findings significantly expand our knowledge of early human evolution and their capacity to thrive in diverse habitats.
