They were known as the first sub human species to use rocks as tools and weapons. They were also known as handy man for their tool creations.
Both Homo sapiens and Homo habilis are members of the Homo genus and are believed to have originated in Africa. They also both used primitive stone tools, although Homo sapiens had more advanced tool-making capabilities compared to Homo habilis. There are anatomical similarities as well, such as similar skeletal features like teeth and hands.
Yes, Homo habilis is thought to have evolved from australopithecines. Homo habilis had a larger brain capacity than australopithecines, suggesting improved cognitive abilities. This increase in brain size likely played a role in the development of more complex behaviors and tool use.
No, Homo habilis does not have a sagittal crest. Sagittal crests are present in some species of early hominins like Paranthropus but not in Homo habilis.
There is some dispute about the "seven" names. However, we do have "homo sapiens", "homo neandertalensis", "homo heidlebergensis","archaic homo sapiens", "homo ergaster","homo erectus", and "homo habilis".
Australopithecus were a group of early human-like species that walked upright and had small brains. Homo habilis were the first to use stone tools. Homo erectus had larger brains and more sophisticated tools. Homo sapiens are modern humans with complex language, advanced tool-making abilities, and symbolic thinking.

the answer for that is he had no culture

There is no definitive evidence to suggest that australopithecines had less hair than Homo habilis. However, some researchers believe that Homo habilis may have had relatively less body hair compared to australopithecines, based on factors like tool use and adaptation to different environments.
Homo habilis is believed to have lived in a climate that was warmer and wetter than it is today. This climate would have been more similar to a savanna environment, with a mix of grasslands and some forested areas.
Some characteristics of a homo habilis are the back teeth being larger than the front teeth, large brain, short with an average male height of 4.5 feet tall. Homo Habilis were not capable of speaking.
Australopithecus afarensis and Homo habilis were both early hominins that lived in East Africa around 2-3 million years ago. They both walked upright on two legs and displayed some primitive stone tool use, but Homo habilis had a slightly larger brain size and more human-like characteristics compared to Australopithecus afarensis.
Austrolopithecus were the first humans known to man and they did not use many tools at all because they were part of the hunter-gatherer group. Next came the Homo-Habilis, which means handi-man so they must have used some tools that gave them this name. After the came the Homo-Erectus, Homo-Sapiens, then us, the Homo-Sapiens Sapiens. After the Homo-Habilis started to use tools, they will have passed down the knowledge and structure of tools to the other species of humans.
There are many physical and cultural differences between Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Diet: Homo erectus had a much larger proportion of meat in its diet than Homo habilis. Also, H. habilis had stronger teeth so it could eat tougher foods. They both ate their veggies and bone marrow. Fire: H. erectus discovered fire and used it for hunting, fighting, scaring animals, cooking, and making tools, while H. habilis did not have control of fire. Tools: Homo erectus created far more sophisticated stone tools than Homo habilis, and is most well known for its sophisticated biface handaxes. They both had spears and stone tools. Distribution: Homo habilis is only found in Africa, while Homo erectus has a much wider distribution not only Africa but also spreading across areas of Europe and Asia. Morphology: Homo erectus had a proportionally larger brain than Homo habilis, and smaller teeth. See related links below for modern reconstructions of these species physical appearance. Posture: H. erectus walked upright, much like the modern human. However, H. habilis stooped over and did not walk upright. Erectus means upright and habilis means handyman.
