Archaeologists have studied the area around Ngandong to find out the possible last presence of this species on Earth. "The region is the last known place of Homo erectus found anywhere in the world," said Russ Siocon, professor and co-author of the study at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Iowa. He further said that we cannot say that we have set the date of its extinction, but we have ascertained his last presence. We have no proof that Homo erectus used to live anywhere else. New estimates were made after assessing specimens such as fragments of animal fossils and rediscovered fossils. This showed that these were the places where Holland surveyors found the remains of the original Homo erectus in 1930.
