"H. erectus lived between approximately 2 million to 400,000 years ago and is the first known primate to use significant tools and walk upright." The 'Hobbits' discovered on Flores Island are Homo Erectus and they lived until about 12-13,000 years ago.
What's the margin of error on all these estimates?!?!?
