Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homo ergaster is believed to have developed more slowly than the australopithecines but more rapidly than modern humans in terms of their cognitive and technological abilities. They are also known to have a more modern body plan with proportionally longer legs than arms, unlike the apelike postcrania of their ancestors. There is no evidence that they constructed shelters from materials like adobe. While they are associated with Mode 1 stone tool technology, they likely also made use of other materials and techniques as well.
