Homo Habilis emerged between 2.3 and 2.5 million years ago.They had brains that were large compared to their body size.Their faces protruded less,teeth smaller,legs longer and arms shorter.They produced stone tools.They lived in grassland,hunted small animals and scavanged the remains of large animals.Stone rings found in Olduvai Africa suggest that Homo Habilis built shelters for protection against cold weather and predators.The earliest remains of Homo Habilis are from Africa but it is disputed since a variety of fossils from China and Indonesia are more than 1.8 million years old.The tools are also traced in Pakistan and France.This suggest that Homo Habilis spread out from Africa.
