Let’s start with this.

“Homo erectus has long been regarded as the direct antecedent to Homo sapiens. Recently, this assumption has been questioned.”

That sentence does not THAT humans evolved from ancient hominid ancestors; it simply questions whether erectus was our particular direct antecedent. Btw: erectus lived several million years AFTER the human-chimpanzee evolutionary divergence.
