Were all early humans one species?

No, there were many different prehuman species both at different times and living at the same time. Even as late as the last ice ages there were two different species of what could be called "modern humans" living at the same time: Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis and Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Finally the Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis went extinct, leaving only our species Homo Sapiens Sapiens.


Why didn't the homo sapiens survive?

um... we did! Yay us!If you mean neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis) there are many theories to why they lost to us.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal#Extinction


Did homo sapiens and homo erectus live at the same time?

The oldest examples of Homo Sapiens is from the Omo remains, presumably dating back to 195,000 in Ethiopia. It was another 60,000 years until Homo Sapiens remains become prolific and visible in other parts of the world. This supports the "out of Africa" theory that Homo Sapiens, like many of the other hominid species evolved in Africa and spread out from there. Homo Erectus is mostly found in other parts of the world. There is no clear consensus within the Palaeoanthropology community whether Homo Erectus is a direct link to Homo Sapiens or whether Homo Sapiens came from within a different line that existed at the same time in Africa. There were many different hominid species that existed during this time frame, and indications are that it may be the most diverse period of hominid specie existence in the earth's history. To date, Homo Sapiens is the only known hominid with a high forehead, flat face, and thin, flat brows. It resembles much more closely Homo Heidelbergensis than Homo Erectus.
