Answer:

Africa

Step-by-step explanation:

Homo erectus is an extinct hominid, which lived between 2 million years and 70,000 years before the present - if its extinction is linked to the theory of the Toba catastrophe (lower and middle Pleistocene). The classic Homo erectus inhabited in East Asia (China, Indonesia). In Africa, remains of related fossils have been found that are often included in another species, Homo ergaster; also in Europe, various fossil remains have been classified as Homo erectus, although the current trend is to reserve the name Homo erectus for Asian fossils.
