Homo habilis is known as the "handy man" because they are believed to be the first hominids to manufacture stone tools. They lived around 2.8 to 1.5 million years ago, making them the oldest known members of the genus Homo (human). Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus anamensis lived before Homo habilis and did not have the ability to create tools. Homo erectus lived after Homo habilis and created more complex tools, but Homo habilis was the first to show evidence of tool-making abilities.
