Homo habilis, bipedal and scavenges, lived from ~2.5—1.5 million years ago in eastern and southern Africa, and is believed to be one of the earliest members of genus Homo. The species demonstrate a significant increase in relative brain size compared to prior species, and is nicknamed “the handyman” or “man with skills” because of evidence for the making and use of primitive stone tools. The artwork paints a portrait of these early humans by displaying scientifically derived knowledge about the era in which they existed, their place in the Homo family tree, their geographical spread, their facial features and physical stature, their skull and brain size, tools and technology, and the key fossils leading to this knowledge.
