Homo Erectus emerged around 1.9 to 2 million years ago in Africa. They went extinct roughly 110,000 years ago. They also evolved into other human species.
I suspect that they didn't seem much different to our ancestors.
There is some evidence of different human species interbreeding. This includes humans and Neanderthals, but also Homo Erectus with Denisovans.
Modern Europeans have about 1% to 2% Neanderthal DNA in their individual genomes, with essentially 100% of people with European ancestry carrying these traces.
