Homo erectusn.

Brit.

/ˌhəʊməʊ ᵻˈrɛktəs/, U.S.

/ˌhoʊmoʊ əˈrɛktəs/,

/ˌhoʊmoʊ iˈrɛktəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Homo erectus.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Homo erectus, species name (see quot. 1895) < Homo , genus name (see homo n.¹) + erectus , specific name ( E. Dubois Pithecanthropus erectus. Eine menschenaehnliche Uebergangsform aus Java (1894) 1), specific use of classical Latin ērectus erect adj., so called on account of its upright (fully bipedal) posture. Compare earlier Pithecanthropus n. 2. Compare also earlier Java man at Java n. 6, Peking man n. at Peking n. Compounds 2, Solo man at Solo n.²Compare:1895 E. D. Cope in Amer. Naturalist 29 193 Disusing then, Dr. DuBois' name Pithecanthropus, we have left as the appellation, Homo erectus DuBois.

Palaeontology.

An extinct hominid that is believed to have spread from Africa to Europe and Asia about 2 million years ago and appears to have survived in Asia to at least 150,000 years ago. Cf. Java n. 6, Peking man n. at Peking n. Compounds 2, Solo n.² Also in extended use: man as a biped.It was originally known as Pithecanthropus erectus; fossils formerly assigned to the genera Sinanthropus, Meganthropus, and Telanthropus are now generally regarded as examples of Homo erectus. Homo erectus may be synonymous with the African Homo ergaster, in which case it is probably ancestral to most later hominids.
