**What Homo species was the first that stood fully upright and cooked its food?
**
As the name implies, **__Homo erectus__** (also called __Homo ergaster__)**__ __is the first known Homo species that stood fully upright**. 

__Homo erectus__ featured other, modern human proportions distinct from those of apes: shorter arms relative to the torso, and long legs adapted for walking and running, rather than climbing trees.

Scientists found campfires and hearths near the remains of __Homo erectus__, suggesting they were also the first humans to dabble with cooking — a uniquely human activity that gave access to easily digestible food, allowing brains and bodies to grow.

Researchers believe that Homo erectus was a very successful species that lived in Africa and in [Asia](https://t.me/askmenow/3157) between 1,89 million and 110,000 years ago, its average height was 145-185 cm (4 ft 9 in – 6 ft 1 in) and its average weight was 40-68 kg (88-150 lbs).
