Homo habilis hunters. Computer illustration of Homo habilis ancient hominids using stone tools on the plains of the Olduvai Gorge, in what is now Tanzania, Africa. H. habilis is thought to have lived approximately 2 to million years ago in East Africa, during the Gelasian and early Calabrian stages of the Pleistocene period. It had a brain size just less than half that of modern humans. The name Homo habilis means 'handy man', adopted because the species used primitive stone tools.
