may 4, 2330000 BC - Homo Habilis (Handy man)
Description:
Fact 1: Homo means human/man, and habilis means handy, so homo habilis means handy man.
Fact 2: They lived in Eastern and Southern Africa
Fact 3: They were only on average 4 feet 3 inches tall.
Claim: Based on the skull of a homo habilis, and the skull of an australopithecus, I can infer that a homo habilis brain size was probably bigger than an australopithecus brain size.
Migration Path: Homo Habilis didn't migrate for that much, they only migrated from different parts of Southern Africa, probably due to them using lots of energy to walk upright and on 4 legs. Also, it maybe due to food resources.
