This skull, known as "Nutcracker Man" or Paranthropus boisei, demonstrated the significance of the site for understanding human evolution and motivated further excavations.
Homo habilis, the 'Handy Man', was discovered by Louis Leakey, Phillip Tobias and John Napier at Olduvai Gorge in Kenya in 1961.
