Not entirely true. Homo antecessor lived and thrived 1,000,000 years ago as well. Damn, I knew that wikipedia listing and myself were forgetting some stuff. Yep H. antecessor fits for the period.

The fact that they existed as the same time is kind of important and could change the story:
 * H. erectus has been designated as the First Host species by Marvel Facts, presumably mirroring The Eternal series.
 * H. antecessor has been designated as the (first) Kree Metagenesis project species studied upon (my reassembling of the events give us the end of the Metagenesis project and the creation of the Midnight King before the "modern" experiments on H. neanderthalensis.

I can't find a clear information on which species is supposed to in proto-South Africa at that time, but that's too early for them to be Australopithecus, H. habilis. Maybe H. ergaster (who could be the ancestor of erectus and antecessor, or simply African erectus), but I never found a reference in MU for them as far.
