• They lived in small groups, which was useful for hunting, learning to do tasks and caring for children and the weak.
• They believed in an afterlife. Archaeologists have found tombs with skeletons that also had objects, weapons and food with them.
They used bifaces to dig, and cut or scrape skins.
The discovery of fire by the Homo erectus 1.5 million years ago allowed them to light their caves, cook, make weapons and protect themselves from dangerous animals and the cold.
