How humans evolved over time.... |
Homo habilis
Existing 2,000,000 years ago the Homo Habilis (meaning handy man) were the first real species to be called Cavemen. Males stood at an average of 131 cm whereas females stood at an average of 100 cm. Pretty short hey? They could be found in eastern and southern Africa. Their average brain size was about 47% of ours! Thats less than half our brain size!
This species used stone tools to survive, this was a helpful trait as it helped them evolve even more...
