The 25 pages that link to Homo habilis, each with the reason it gives.

• Human evolutionBroader topic: It represents an early phase of the genus associated with larger brains and stone tools.

• Homo erectusCompared with: Its earlier African fossils help frame debates about which populations gave rise to Homo erectus.

• Australopithecus afarensisCompared with: It lived later and had a larger brain than Australopithecus afarensis.

• OldowanRelated: Its fossils occur with Oldowan tools, but the association does not prove exclusive authorship.

• AustralopithecusCompared with: Its traits and dates inform disputes over the transition from Australopithecus to Homo.

• Olduvai GorgeBroader topic: Fossils from the gorge helped establish this species as an early member of the human lineage.

• Australopithecus africanusCompared with: Its appearance overlaps the later part of the proposed Australopithecus africanus range, but its genus assignment differs.

• Homo floresiensisCompared with: Its small brain and body invite comparison, though it lived far earlier and elsewhere.

• Lithic technologyRelated: Its fossils occur in contexts that include early Oldowan artifacts.

• Hominin taxonomyBroader topic: Its classification tests where researchers draw the boundary of Homo.

• Hominin evolutionBroader topic: It illustrates the early diversity of the genus Homo.

• Paranthropus boiseiCompared with: Homo habilis overlapped in time and place but had a less specialized chewing anatomy.

• Australopithecus sedibaCompared with: Its overlap in time and anatomy figures in comparisons about early Homo origins.

• Dmanisi homininsCompared with: Its fossils provide an African comparison for the small-brained Dmanisi remains.

• Stone AgeRelated: Fossils attributed to this species occur alongside some early stone-tool assemblages.

• HomoBroader topic: It is an early named species often associated with the emergence of Homo.

• Hominin phylogenyBroader topic: Its position near the origins of Homo remains debated.

• Richard LeakeyRelated: Leakey’s team uncovered fossils that helped establish this species as an early toolmaker.

• Homo rudolfensisCompared with: Its overlapping age and disputed anatomical boundaries complicate comparisons.

• Lower PaleolithicRelated: Its fossils occur in contexts central to debates about the earliest toolmakers.

• Homo ergasterRelated: Its fossils help frame the earlier hominin diversity preceding Homo ergaster.

• Australopithecus garhiCompared with: Its emergence overlaps the period when garhi lived, raising questions about evolutionary relationships.

• Lantian ManCompared with: Its anatomy and African record contrast with the traditional Homo erectus assignment.

• AustralopithecineCompared with: Its larger brain and association with stone tools contrast with many australopithecines.

• Homo gautengensisCompared with: Some fossils assigned to Homo gautengensis have also been classified as Homo habilis.
