Homo erectus arose at least 1.8 mya. Near
that time, archaeologists see big shifts in
brain and body size in ancient hominins.

Behavioral Instinct Dimorphisms are legion throughout all the animal kingdom. Including the human animal species. Many of the Instinct Dimorphisms are sexually correlated and have a genetic foundation. The Cognitive-based Filters, Ensembles, and Tapestries differ significantly. Thus, males may not understand female perspectives and females may not understand male perspectives. Both genders observe one another. Both often believe that it is natural that the other gender be able to understand where their gender "is coming from." What we understand most (if we are thinking about it at all) is that we misunderstand each other. Mostly.

These essays are offered to help promote the understanding of the misunderstanding. ← Important

  • Homo sapiens is the only extant human species.
    
    The age of speciation of H. sapiens out of ancestral H. erectus (or an intermediate species such as Homo heidelbergensis) is estimated to have taken place at roughly 315,000 years ago. Sustained archaic admixture is known to have taken place both in Africa and (following the recent Out-Of-Africa expansion) in Eurasia, between about 100,000 to 30,000 years ago.
    
    
  • Homo neanderthalensis - 420 to 42 Tya.
    
    Total Neanderthal population size has been estimated at roughly 150,000 individuals living in small, isolated, inbred groups.
