In the early 20th century, Eugene Dubois discovered a skull cap, teeth, and a complete femur in java. these were later identified as the remains of the hominin Homo erectus. Generally considered to have been the first species to have expanded beyond Africa, Homo erectus is considered a highly variable species, spread over two continents and possibly the longest lived early human species.
