**Who was the only member of genus __Homo__ during nearly a million years? ** According to scientists, **__Homo habilis__ lived as the only member of genus __Homo__ for nearly a million years.** This species with a slightly larger braincase and smaller face and teeth than older hominin species is widely considered to be [the first member of the genus __Homo__](https://t.me/askmenow/3702) that evolved from apes. But it still retained some ape-like features, including long arms and a moderately-prognathic face. Its name, which means ‘__handy man__’, was given in 1964 because this species was thought to represent the first maker of stone tools. Currently, the oldest stone tools are dated slightly older than the oldest evidence of the genus Homo. Researchers believe that __Homo habilis__ lived in Eastern and Southern [Africa](https://t.me/askmenow/3158) between 2,4 and 1,4 million years ago, its average height was 100-135 cm (3 ft 4 in – 4 ft 5 in) and its average weight was 32 kg (70 lbs).
