	Homo habilis
		habilis is a generally accepted species, they opinion that it was a direct human ancestor seems to be in question.
		Homo habilis may be a direct human ancestor, a dead-end side-branch that leads nowhere, an invalid species whose designated examples belong in other species, or Wolpoff may be right, and all these species are basically part of one highly variable widespread species.
		The skulls, endocasts, and teeth of Homo habilis.

	Homo habilis
		Homo habilis means "handy man" and was suggested to them by Raymond Dart.
		A series of anatomical characters is to be found uniquely in Homo — for example, an increase in cranial vault height and thickness, reduced lower facial prognathism, and reduction in the size of premolars and molars and the length of the molar row — but what has always stood out the most is brain size.
		This table shows the main morphological differences between the two main members of the early Homo family; Homo habilis and Homo rudolfensis.

	CRSQ March 2006 Article - Body Mass Estimates and Encephalization Quotients: A Fresh Look at the Australopithecines and ...
		Homo habilis is primarily distinguished from the australopithecines by its larger brain size (Haeusler and McHenry, 2004; Pilbeam and Gould, 1974; Susman, 1994; Blumenschine et al., 2003).
		Homo habilis has been proposed by evolutionists as the earliest hominid to exhibit the increased brain size required to evolve human intelligence.
		Since the australopithecines and Homo habilis are known to be facultative bipeds, a model to calculate their body mass utilizing data only extracted from extant obligatory bipeds (humans) would result in an inaccurate number.

	Genus Homo
		Homo habilis was named so because the artifacts found with the fossils were rudimentary stone tools that had been created from rocks.
		Homo erectus spread from the area of southeast Africa throughout Europe, Asia, and the Indonesian Islands that were not surrounded by water at the time.
		Homo sapiens was so successful that he spread beyond the bounds of erectus and even made it to Australia on a land bridge during one of the ice ages.

	Homo habilis
		Homo habilis is a species of extinct hominids that lived between 2.2 and 1.6 Ma in eastern and southern Africa.
		Recently, stark controversy has arisen as to whether habilis should be classified in the genus Homo or the genus Australopithecus.
		Consensus may be moving towards the direction of habilis being a modern-ape-like australopithecine which may or may not have had anything to do with the genus Homo.

	Early hominid overview
		The dental similarities between Homo habilis and A. afarensis are simply explained:The former is the direct descendant of the latter and therefore carries many anatomical similarities.
		If Homo habilis truly is a direct descendant of A. afarensis, splitting away before the A. africacus A. robustus lineage had begun to develop.
		The dental characteristics shared between Homo habilis and A. afarensis have to be explained as a reversal of the direction of evolution already established in the hominid lineage.

	Human Origins and Intelligent Design
		Homo habilis is said to show brain enlargement, the first usage of primitive stone tools, and the origin of a humanlike bipedal pelvic gait.
		Homo habilis was found to be australopithecine in all of its major characteristics—body size, body shape, locomotion, jaws and teeth, development, and brain size.
		This strengthens the case that Homo habilis is not a species of intermediate morphology between australopithecines and Homo, as it lacks reliable criteria connecting it to modern humans, or establishing it as a link between australopithecines and Homo.
