Like the other fossils of Homo habilis, OH 24 also manifests the slightly small teeth set in a U-shaped arch. Being one of the oldest fossils of Homo habilis , OH 24 has been used to settle many disputes about splitting some of the early Homo fossils that have been found into Homo rudolfensis and Homo habilis , or lumping them together into one ...
Oldowan tools occur in Beds I–IV at Olduvai Gorge. Bed I, dated 1.85 to 1.7 mya, contains Oldowan tools and fossils of Paranthropus boisei and Homo habilis, as does Bed II, 1.7 to 1.2 mya. H. habilis gave way to Homo erectus at about 1.6 mya, but P. boisei persisted. Oldowan tools continue to Bed IV at 800,000 to 600,000 before present . A ...

LD 350-1 is now considered the earliest known specimen of the genus ...
