Homo Habilis - Early Toolmaker

[@dr4d1s]

Holy crap, I was recommended a new archaeology/paleontology channel that isn't voiced by or made by a LLM/ML! Oh happy day! I probably won't watch many of the videos that you made on extinct animals but anything related to early hominins and their tools I most certainly will. I appreciate the time and effort it took you to make these long form videos. Thank you.

[@EAIOIAE]

Thank you for watching.

​@@EAIOIAEYou are most welcome. I have watched the Homo Habilis and Australopithecus videos a couple times each now. Great videos!

[@willw3736]

So this ancient species resembled a monkey. Is that why some human species today resemble monkeys?

[@wcdeich4]

Great video. BTW, we now have evidence Australopithecus could also make stone tools, although they were even simpler.

[@EAIOIAE]

Indeed, the 3-million-year old Lomekwi culture attributed to either Kenyanthropus or an australopithecine is evidence of that in addition to cut-marked bones. Thank you so much for watching! :-)

[@marcverhaegen7943]

Australopithecus habilis = aquarboreal relative/ancestor of chimp or bonobo from Francesca Mansfield (thanks! :-)): H. habilis was very probably aquarboreal (one of the Olduvai Hominins (OH 8) had its foot bitten off by a croc, although that doesn't prove anything except that it was by water when it got its foot bitten off). Take a look at Wikipedia: "H. habilis may have been at least partially arboreal like what is postulated for australopithecines." "The arms of H. habilis and australopithecines have generally been considered to have been proportionally long and so adapted for climbing and swinging.[32][33][34] " "The humerus of OH 62 measured 258-270 mm (10.2-10.6 in) long and the ulna (forearm) 245-255 mm (9.6-10.0 in), which is closer to the proportion seen in chimpanzees. The hand bones of OH 7 suggest precision gripping, important in dexterity, as well as adaptations for climbing." "The thickness of the limb bones in OH 62 is more similar to chimpanzees than H. ergaster / H. erectus and modern humans, which may indicate different load bearing capabilities more suitable for arboreality in H. habilis.[35] The strong fibula of OH 35 (though this may belong to P. boisei) is more like that of non-human apes, and consistent with arboreality and vertical climbing.[36]" "In regard to the femur, traditionally comparisons with the A. afarensis specimen AL 288-1 have been used to reconstruct stout legs for H. habilis," "OH 8, a foot, is better suited for terrestrial movement than the foot of A. afarensis, though it still retains many apelike features consistent with climbing.[15] However, the foot has projected toe bone and compacted mid-foot joint structures, which restrict rotation between the foot and ankle as well as at the front foot. Foot stability enhances the efficiency of force transfer between the leg and the foot and vice versa, and is implicated in the plantar arch elastic spring mechanism which generates energy while running (but not walking)." The thicker limb bones (than Lucy) and the compacted mid-foot structures suggest to me that H. habilis was no runner, but waded and perhaps swam frequently, while still maintaining upper body proportions for climbing and suspension in trees. Therefore, aquarboareal, probably closer to chimpanzees. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXm7ZZyradB_qs0 WHATtalk#19 2023 May

I enjoyed this. One thing about the opening -- I don't think you have to be too sneaky with cheetahs, because cheetahs are pussies. You can just scream and throw some rocks at them, and they'll run. And usually there won't be multiple cheetahs, although sometimes males form pairs or small groups. But usually not. Also -- and you do clarify later in the video -- meat doesn't _lead to_ to growth of brains so much as the availability of meat (and ability to digest it) removes a constraint that prevents the evolution of larger brains. That's a bit picky, but I think one needs to be careful so that people don't imagine sort of Lamarckian mechanisms -- like an individual ate meat, which made the individual's brain bigger, and the bigger brain was passed on to offspring ... which is obviously wrong. At one point in the video you discuss the origin of stone tool construction in early _hominids_ -- but going by the newer taxonomic terminology, you're actually talking about _hominins._

Why is Homo habilis drawn with chimp facial features? Not even bonobos have that. There is nothing to suggest our common ancestor looked like a chimp, and thus there is nothing to suggest Homo habilis did this as well. Rather, those facial features evolved independently in chimps.

These animals were obviously oborial. Put a modern human on the Savannah day or night for any length of time and we are dinner for something. No fire, no spears, no fangs or claws, short stature, monkey brain only slightly bigger. Definitely spent considerable time in the forests.

[@spatrk6634]

yes, but humans are social species. meaning you need to put a group of humans in savannah. not single human. you dont need to give them spears or fire. they will start using and adapting the environment to their needs pretty quickly. by finding sticks and rocks to defend themselves with. standing on two legs and having colored vision means that you are able to notice predators some distance away. and most predators in savannah are ambush predators. if you see them first, they will most likely get away. because nobody wants to mess with group of loud bipedal apes that throw rocks and scream at you.

From Where life came in first organism on this planet??

[@EAIOIAE]

We don't really know how life first emerged on planet Earth, but life probably originated from a mix of organic compounds that existed in the Earth's oceans billions of years ago, which were rich in water, carbon dioxide, and other elements, and enough energy was provided to trigger chemical reactions in molecules to lead to more complex compounds, which then might have led to DNA or proteins. The thing is, we're not really sure exactly how all this happened; much of it is still a mystery and currently in research. Thank you for your comment! :-)

When science tells us who we are we can always expect 1. That life came from nothing that is alive... matter, material, in other words. 2. That the universe created itself from eternal material, matter. 3. That space needs no evidence as to what it is nor where it came from since space is immaterial, yet it exists. 4. That 'time' brings material to life if material is given enough of it. 5. That Early Earth, though it was a sterile environment to the absolute degree according to science, 'time' brought inert material to life. 6. That whatever we are told became the first living thing, eventually became an upright white man ( via cartoons ) because it had plenty of 'time' to do so. 7. After considering none of these impossibilities, then the Atheists curse the Living God, and by so doing, profess themselves as mentally stupefied being who would say something doesn't exist and then devote its life to disproving its existence, that something they call by name doesn't exist? Out of the billions upon billions of things there are in this universe, they've chosen the Name of 'God' to claim He doesn't exist. Amazing.
