  2. Homo habilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_habilis

    Because of this, it has also been proposed H. habilis be moved to the genus Australopithecus as Australopithecus habilis. However, the interpretation of H. habilis as a small-statured human with inefficient long-distance travel capabilities has been challenged. The presumed female specimen OH 62 is traditionally interpreted as having been 100 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo

    Homo (from Latin homō 'human') is a genus of great ape (family Hominidae) that emerged from the genus Australopithecus and encompasses only a single extant species, Homo sapiens (modern humans), along with a number of extinct species (collectively called archaic humans) classified as either ancestral or closely related to modern humans; these include Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis.

  4. OH 24 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OH_24

    Like the other fossils of Homo habilis, OH 24 also manifests the slightly small teeth set in a U-shaped arch. Being one of the oldest fossils of Homo habilis , OH 24 has been used to settle many disputes about splitting some of the early Homo fossils that have been found into Homo rudolfensis and Homo habilis , or lumping them together into one ...

    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. LD 350-1 is now considered the earliest known specimen of the genus Homo , dating to 2.75–2.8 Ma, found in the Ledi-Geraru site in the Afar Region of Ethiopia .

    The genus Homo evolved from Australopithecus. [7] The earliest record of Homo is the 2.8 million-year-old specimen LD 350-1 from Ethiopia, [8] and the earliest named species is Homo habilis which evolved by 2.3 million years ago. [9] The most important difference between Homo habilis and Australopithecus was a 50% increase in brain size. [10]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmanisi_hominins

    The researchers found that the Dmanisi hominins "cannot unequivocally be referred either to H. habilis or to H. erectus" and that there, in regards to early Homo, was a "continuum of forms"; Skull 5 appears to share many primitive features with H. habilis whereas Skull 1, with the largest brain, is more similar to African H. ergaster/H. erectus ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_human...

    Roughly 2.4 million years ago Homo habilis had appeared in East Africa: the first known human species, and the first known to make stone tools, yet the disputed findings of signs of tool use from even earlier ages and from the same vicinity as multiple Australopithecus fossils may put to question how much more intelligent than its predecessors ...
