Ho mo Ha bi lis: An oth er Ex tinct Ape












        For a long time, evo-
        lutionists 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 unearthed
        in 1986 and named
        as OH 62 disproved
        this assertion. These
        fossil fragments
        showed that Homo
        habilis had long
        arms and short legs
        just like contempo-
        rary apes. This fossil                                     "OH 7 Homo habilis"
        put an end to the as-                                     seen on the down left

        able to walk upright.                                         the Homo habilis
