Why did scholars give Homo habilis the nickname "handy man?"

Sagot :

Its name, "handy man," was given to it in 1964 because it was believed that this species represented the first creator of stone tools. The first stone tools are currently dated to be a little older than the earliest evidence of the genus Homo.

This species, one of the first members of the genus Homo, had a smaller face and teeth compared to Australopithecus or other older human species, as well as a somewhat larger braincase. It does, however, still have some ape-like characteristics, such as lengthy arms and a fairly prognathic face.
