[3] In 2013, OH 80 was found associated with a mass of Oldowan stone tools and animal bones bearing evidence of butchery.

H. habilis is intermediate between Australopithecus afarensis and H. erectus, and there have been suggestions to re-classify it within genus Australopithecus, as Australopithecus habilis.
