Homo Erectus Poster

 As an assignment in Social Studies class, I made a poster for an early hominid.  I had to show its abilities and when it lived.  I decided to make him like a comic book character with superpowers (for hominids).  I chose Homo Erectus and his abilities were the ability to use fire, and being biped, which allowed him to walk and run while carrying something in his arms.  These abilities were important because fire allowed them to move to colder climates and being biped helped them migrate as well.  It spread the hominids further around earth.  Homo Erectus didn't wear clothes, so I solved how to draw that by making him carry a beaver in a censored area!

It's made with sharpies and prismacolor pencils.
