jan 1, 2100000 BC - Homo Habilis
Description:
Fact 1: They made the first simple tools.
Fact 2: They ate meat.
Fact 3: Their brains were smarter than Australopithecus
Claim: The forehead of the skull was bigger and more elevated than Australopithecus so they were smarter,probably because they ate meat.
Migration: Just like Australopithecus, Homo Habilis didn't migrate a lot, however unlike Australopithecus they were the only ones of their time. Again, they couldn't afford to move away from the continent with all the food sources.
