I'm still trying to come up with a difinitive idea of what it would be like myself. The hardest part is imagening a species of human that is slightly less intelligent then Homo sapiens without picturing the stereotypical caveman depicted in movies. Does anyone have a better imagenation?
Actually, wiki has a pretty good depiction of H. erectus.
The differences between a real H. erectus and the movie depictions are the jaw and lack of a forehead. These are hard to replicate on a human model.
