 Homo erectus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homo erectus (along with Homo ergaster) was probably the first early human to fit squarely into the category of a hunter and predator and not as prey for larger animals.
Homo erectus would bear a striking resemblance to modern humans, but had a brain about 74 percent of the size of modern man. These early hominids were tall, on average standing about 1.79 m (5 feet, 10 inches) tall.
Homo erectus ("upright man") is a hominin species that is believed to be an ancestor of modern humans (with Homo heidelbergensis usually treated as an intermediary step).

 Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Canadian Science Fiction
SF was invented in Great Britain (most critics cite Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein as the first true work of SF, and H. Wells (1866-1946) as its most influential early practitioner), and it became a commercial publishing category in the United States (starting with the founding of the first SF magazine, Amazing Stories, in 1926).
The best examples are the SF/crime-fiction crossovers Barking Dogs (1988) and its sequel Blue Limbo (1997) by Terence M. Green, the novel Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson (XXXX), and the the novels The Terminal Experiment (1995), Factoring Humanity (1998), Calculating God (2000), and Hominids (2002), all by Robert J. Sawyer.
SF set in whole or in part in a land that is identifiably present-day or near-future Canada is a rare commodity (although Canadian settings are common in fantasy novels, particularly those of Charles de Lint, Tanya Huff, and Edo van Belkom).
