Homo Habilis : Another Extinct Ape

Harun Yahya

For a long time, evolu-
tionists argued that the
creatures they called
Homo habilis could
walk upright. They
thought that they had
found a link stretching
from ape to man. Yet,
the new Homo habilis
fossils Tim White un-
earthed in 1986 and
named as OH 62 dis-
proved this assertion.
These fossil fragments
showed that Homo ha-
bilis had long arms and
short legs just like con-
temporary apes. This
fossil put an end to the
assertion proposing
that Homo habilis was
a bipedal being able to
walk upright. In truth,
Homo habilis was
nothing but another
ape species.

"OH 7 Homo habilis" seen to the right has been
the fossil which best defined the mandibular
features of the Homo habilis species. This
mandible fossil has big incisory teeth. Its molar
teeth are small. The shape of the mandible is
square. All these qualities make this mandible
look very similar to that of today's apes. In other
words, Homo habilis' mandible once more
confirms that this being is actually an ape.
