Researchers in Kenya reassembled the most complete Homo habilis skeleton yet, uncovering a mix of human-like head and upright posture with ape-like long forearms, suggesting arboreal traits persisted in early Homo and supporting a gradual transition rather than a rapid ape-to-human leap.
Scientists describe KNM-ER 64061, the most complete Homo habilis skeleton yet, dating to about 2.02–2.06 million years ago in northern Kenya, revealing unusually strong arms and upper-limb proportions similar to australopithecines and suggesting a more complex early hominin evolution.
A new study using AI analysis reveals that leopards hunted and ate early human ancestors, Homo habilis, around 2 million years ago in East Africa, with evidence from fossilized jawbones showing carnivore tooth marks attributed to leopards.
A study reveals that early humans like Homo habilis were still preyed upon by predators such as leopards around 1.75 million years ago, challenging previous beliefs that humans had already become top predators by that time.
New research suggests Homo habilis was hunted by leopards, challenging the idea that it was the first human species to become an apex predator, and instead indicating it was more prey than predator, with Homo erectus possibly being the first to dominate the food chain.
