The extinct ancient human Homo erectus is a species of firsts. It was the first of our relatives to have human-like body proportions, with shorter arms and longer legs relative to its torso.
<h3>What are Homo erectus?</h3>
Homo erectus, an extinct species of Pleistocene archaic human, first appeared about 2 million years ago. Several human species, including H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, seem to have diverged from H. erectus, with the former being largely accepted as the ancestor of Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans. Among the first recognizable representatives of the genus Homo are its specimens. The first known ancestor of modern humans, H. erectus, had a continental range that stretched from the Iberian Peninsula to Java. H. floresiensis and possibly H. luzonensis may have its origins in Asian populations of Homo erectus. H. erectus soloensis, from Java, dates to a time period between 117,000 and 108,000 years ago.

Facilitated diffusion
<span>The word 'diffusion' means free movement across distance, with or without the presence of a barrier. However, there is a phenomenon known as facilitated diffusion which occurs at the cellular level. The cell does not allow free radicals and other harmful substances to enter and harm the cell organs. This is possible due to the structure of the cell membrane. The structure is such that, it allows only certain things to pass in and out of the cell. One such activity that allows selective movement in and out of the cell is the process of facilitated diffusion.</span>
Binary fission is a characteristic of prokaryotes and a few eukaryote species and is most similar to the process of mitosis; each parent cell divides into two daughter cells each containing half of the genetic material from the parent cell.
