In which regions is H. erectus distributed?

Homo erectus is known to have a wide distribution across several continents, specifically in Asia, Europe, and Africa. This species, which lived from about 1.9 million years ago until as recently as 110,000 years ago, is significant because it represents one of the earliest hominins to leave Africa and populate other parts of the world. The archaeological evidence shows H. erectus fossils and tools found in various sites throughout Asia (such as Indonesia and China), Europe (notably in places like Georgia), and Africa (including Kenya and Tanzania). This extensive geographical spread suggests that H. erectus was well-adapted to various environments and climates, which contributed to its success as a species during its time.

In contrast, the other options suggest distributions that do not align with the known archaeological record of H. erectus. North America and Australia were not inhabited by H. erectus. Similarly, while Europe and South America miss including Africa, which is integral to the understanding of H. erectus's evolutionary history. Antarctica is not a region where human species have inhabited due to its extreme climate. Thus, the option indicating Asia, Europe, and Africa accurately reflects the regions where H. erectus fossils and artifacts have been
