Homo ergaster (also "African Homo erectus") is an extinct chronospecies of Homo that lived in eastern and southern Africa during the early Pleistocene, between 1.8 million and 1.3 MYA. Pour beaucoup de scientifiques, les « Homo erectus africains » ont des spécificités qui justifient leur classement au sein d'une nouvelle espèce.

Homo ergaster (meaning "worker man") or African Homo erectus, is a prehistoric species of hominin that lived in eastern and southern Africa during the early Pleistocene, between 1.8 million and 1.3 million years ago.

n33:abstract

Homo ergaster (also "African Homo erectus") is an extinct chronospecies of Homo that lived in eastern and southern Africa during the early Pleistocene, between 1.8 million and 1.3 MYA. Homo ergaster (meaning "worker man") or African Homo erectus, is a prehistoric species of hominin that lived in eastern and southern Africa during the early Pleistocene, between 1.8 million and 1.3 million years ago. There is still disagreement on the subject of the classification, ancestry, and progeny of Homo ergaster, but it is now widely accepted to be the direct ancestor of later hominids, such as Homo heidelbergensis, Homo sapiens, and Homo neanderthalensis and Asian Homo erectus. It is one of the earliest members of the genus Homo, possibly ancestral to, or sharing a common ancestor with, Homo erectus. Some paleoanthropologists consider Homo ergaster to be simply the African variety of Homo erectus; this leads to the use of the term "Homo erectus sensu stricto" for the Asian Homo erectus, and "Homo erectus sensu lato" for the larger species comprising both the early African populations (Homo ergaster) and the Asian populations. The latest discoveries go even further claiming that all five contemporary species of early "Homo" in Africa, "Homo habilis", "Homo rudolfensis", "Homo ergaster", and "Homo erectus" are representatives from the same species, best named "Homo erectus", which evolved about 2 million years ago in Africa and expanded through Eurasia, as far as China and Java, where it was first documented from about 1.2 million years ago. The binomial name was published in 1975 by Groves and Mazák. The second part, "ergaster", is derived from the Ancient Greek ἐργαστήρ "workman", in reference to the comparatively advanced lithic technology developed by the species, introducing the Acheulean industry. Homo ergaster ("werkende Mann") is an utgestorfene hominin Kynd (oþþe Underkynd, æfter sumen Kræftdomen) þe wunde betwenen 1.9 and 1.4 Millionen Ȝearen ær þurh easternen and suðernen Afrika þurhut.

Pour beaucoup de scientifiques, les « Homo erectus africains » ont des spécificités qui justifient leur classement au sein d'une nouvelle espèce.

Homo ergaster is an extinct hominid species that lived in eastern and southern Africa beginning about 1.9 million years ago during the late Pliocene epoch. Long-standing debate about the classification of H. ergaster has categorised it as a subspecies of Homo erectus, a separate species of African erectus, a broader-defined species (including H. erectus and H. heidelbergensis), or in strict species definition as temporal form of Homo sapiens. Thus dates for its extinction are often subjective to the definition of the species. H. erectus and H. heidelbergensis are probably the migratory descendants of H. ergaster. H. ergaster may be distinguished from H. erectus by its thinner skull bones and lack of an obvious supraorbital sulcus. Derived features separating it from earlier species include reduced sexual dimorphism (around 25%), a smaller, more orthognathic (less protruding) face, a smaller dental arcade, and a larger cranial capacity (700 - 850 cm³). It is estimated that H. ergaster stood at 1.9 meters (6.2 ft) tall. Remains have been found in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa.
