New Study Proposes One Species For Early Humans
A Dmanisi Georgia portrait of five skulls dated at 1.8 million years fuels debate on early hominin classification. The study suggests Homo habilis Homo rudolfensis and Homo erectus may be the same species, challenging decades of thinking that H habilis and H rudolfensis were separate from H erectus, a predecessor of modern humans.
