The Leakey team and others argued that, due expanded cranial capacity, [4] gnathic reduction, relatively small post-canine teeth (compared to Paranthropus boisei), [7] Homo-like pattern of craniofacial development, [8] and a precision grip in the hand fragments (which indicated the ability for tool use), set OH 7 apart as a transitional species ...
Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey (7 August 1903 – 1 October 1972) was a Kenyan-British palaeoanthropologist and archaeologist whose work was important in demonstrating that humans evolved in Africa, particularly through discoveries made at Olduvai Gorge with his wife, fellow palaeoanthropologist Mary Leakey.

Napier was an orthopedic surgeon at the University of London before being invited by Sir Wilfrid Le Gros Clark to join him in his paleoanthropology research. [1] Napier then dedicated his life afterward to primatology, becoming the founder of the Primate Society of Great Britain, and was among the group, with Louis Leakey and Philip Tobias, that named Homo habilis in the 1960s.
