	Homo habilis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Homo habilis ("handy man", "skillful person") is a species of the genus Homo, which lived from approximately 2 million to 1.5 million years ago at the beginning of the Pleistocene.
		Homo habilis was very short and had disproportionately long arms compared to modern man. It is thought to have descended from a species of australopithecine hominin.
		Homo habilis is thought to be the ancestor of the lankier and more sophisticated, Homo ergaster, which in turn gave rise to the more human appearing species, Homo erectus.

	Homo rudolfensis -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The ((biology) taxonomic group whose members can interbreed) species Homo rudolfensis was originally proposed in 1986 by V. Alexeev for the specimen KNM ER 1470.
		rudolfensis lacked many of the things that were unique only to later hominids such as slim hips for walking long distances, a sophisticated sweating system, narrow birth canal, legs longer than arms, noticeable whites in the eyes, smaller hairs resulting in naked appearance and exposed skins, ect.
		Many scientists think Rudolfensis to be more ape like despite their large brains and bipedal locomotion.

		Homo habilis is a species of the genus Homo, which lived from approximately 2.5 million to 2.0 million years ago.
		Homo habilis was very short and had disproportionately long arms compared to modern man. It is thought to have descended from a species of Australopithecine hominid.
		Homo habilis had a brain slightly less than half of the size of modern man. These early human ancestors were small, on average standing no more than 1.3 m tall.

	Homo rudolfensis
		The species designation of Homo rudolfensis is a much debated topic, over both whether it is a separate species, and if it is an australopithecine rather than a member of the genus Homo.
		The rudolfensis specimens have large brains in conjunction with megadont postcanines, and without postcranial evidence it is unknown whether these features are due to a larger body size than contemporary habilis specimens.
		Homo rudolfensis may be the first member of the genus Homo on a path to modern humans, or it may be a more Homo-like australopithecine with no direct bearing on the evolution of H.

		The authors named this specimen Homo rudolfensis, a contemporary of Homo habilis which was found at Lake Turkana.
		Homo rudolfensis had a flatter, broader face and broader postcanine teeth with more complex crowns and roots, and thicker enamel.
		Homo rudolfensis appears to have a good claim based on brain size and the more modern postcranium, but some insist that its facial and dental anatomy disqualify it from this role.

	Homo (genus) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and their close relatives.
		All species except Homo sapiens are extinct; the last surviving relative, Homo neanderthalensis, died out 30,000 years ago, although recent evidence suggests that Homo floresiensis lived as recently as 12,000 years ago.
		Through that species, Homo is next most closely related to the group of extinct species in the genera Paranthropus and Australopithecus, whose evolutionary branch split off from the proto-Homo line some 5 million years ago.

	HOMO RUDOLFENSIS
		The teeth and jaws of Homo habilis are quite similar in size and proportions to those of the less specialized, earlier australopithecus species.
		Homo habilis survived for half a million years or more, becoming a taller, stronger, smarter species of human.
		It has not been shown to significantly different from Homo erectus to require the designation of a new hominid species, and it has not been shown to be closer to modern humans morphologically as has been claimed by some.

	Homo Genus - Early Human Evolution
		The name "homo habilis" comes from Latin meaning "handy man." Their heads were longer and flatter, compared to modern man. The brains of the Homo habilis are 2/3 as large as ours.
		The Homo Sapiens were cleverer than the Neanderthals because they had more imagination and made tools that no Neanderthal could have thought of.
		The Homo Sapiens were born with a larynx that was lower, thus, they could communicate with a larger variety of sounds than the Neanderthals, which had a higher larynx.

	Homo rudolfensis - a new kind of animal
		Although we cannot assess the relative sizes of the major lobes of the brain precisely from fossil skulls of Homo rudolfensis the elevation of the forehead from its low, sloping configuration in Australopithecus indicates expansion of the frontal lobes.
		If the origin of Homo is to be attributed to environmental changes early in the Ice Age, it would be helpful to have tangible evidence that the genus was actually alive not long after 2.5 million years ago, when the Ice Age got into full swing.
		The fossil skulls and the pelvic and thigh bones from which I have inferred biological traits of Homo rudolfensis were all excavated from east of Lake Turkana (formerly called Lake Rudolf) in northern Kenya, and all date to the interval between 1.8 and 2 million years ago.

		The inclusion of habilis in the homo genus is based upon a notable increase in brain size and their manufacture and use of stone tools.
		Homo rudolfensis is generally defined as having a larger body than habilis, and does not have the prominent brow ridge (torus) as compared to habilis.
		Endocasts, or cast of the inside of the brain of homo erectus have shown an asymmetry in brain size that appears to be a more modern development, and one that characterizes modern Homo's brain.

	We weren't always the only humans
		HOMO RUDOLFENSIS was a relatively largebrained hominid, typified by the famous KNM-ER 1470 cranium.
		HOMO HABILIS ("handy man") was so named because it was thought to be the maker of the 1.8 million year old stone tools discovered at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.
		Homo sapiens has had the earth to itself for the past 25,000 year or so, free and clear of competition from other members of the hominid family.

		and Homo rudolfensis are early representatives of the genus Homo, the group to which modern humans belong.
		The word "habilis" means handy or skillful, and so Homo habilis means "handy man." This species was so named because stone tools have been found near Homo habilis fossils, making this the earliest known stone tool maker.
		Homo habilis lived in what is now East Africa over 2 million years ago, at the same time as other hominid species.

	DARWINISM-WATCH.com - Responding Evolutionist Propaganda in the Media
		The word “homo” is used in biology to mean “human being.” For that reason, evolutionists regard such different species as Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo rudolfensis as members of the human “genus” (the classification above the species).
		Homo erectus means “erect walking human being.” Evolutionists have had to distinguish these human beings from their predecessors with the title “erect.” That is because all the known Homo erectus fossils are far more erect than the Australopithecus or Homo habilis specimens.
		It has recently been increasingly stated in the scientific world that Homo erectus is an artificial class and that the fossils included in the category Homo erectus do not contain sufficient differences to cause it to be regarded as a different species from Homo sapiens.
