The DNH 134 Homo cranium has affinities with H. erectus and extends the species’ temporal range by ~200,000 to 150,000 years. DNH 134 being older than A. sediba complicates the likelihood of this species being ancestral to Homo in South Africa, as previously suggested. With the oldest occurrence of H. erectus at the southern tip of Africa, this argues against a suggested Asian origin for H. erectus. DNH 152 represents the oldest P. robustus cranium in South Africa. The Drimolen stone and bone tools are also the oldest from the region
They have no idea what it is. In fact, given all the evidence it makes
no sense to leap -- and it is a leap -- to the wild conclusion that it's
erectus.

It's not a cranium, it's a fragment. Of an immature individual.
It's simply propaganda -- reinforcement of the Out of Africa nonsense.
Amazing. An identification which seems frivolous at best, anomalous for certain and not
well supported at all, but it does reinforce the OoA brainwashing...
Myself? Not a fan of Out of Asia or Africa or anywhere else. I tend to see an environment,
not some GPS coordinates, as the "Place of Origins." I don't have a dog in the race, EXCEPT
to counter the propaganda.
