description: <i>Homo habilis</i> Samples from Olduvai Gorge, East Lake Turkana, the Omo Shungura sequence, Hadar, and Sterkfontein were included in this study. Original Olduvai Gorge and East Lake Turkana fossils were examined first-hand, while for the Omo and Hadar materials we relied on our original observations on casts and originals and published reports (<i>Boaz and Howell, 1977</i>; <i>Tobias, 1991</i>; <i>Kimbel et al., 1997</i>). We include the following fossils in the hypodigm of <i>H</i>. <i>habilis</i>: A.L. 666-1, KNM-ER 1478, KNM- ER 1501, KNM-ER 1502, KNM-ER 1805, KNM-ER 1813, KNM-ER 3735, OH 4, OH 6, OH 7, OH 8, OH 13, OH 15, OH 16, OH 21, OH 24, OH 27, OH 31, OH 35, OH 37, OH 39, OH 42, OH 44, OH 45, OH 62, OMO-L894-1, and Stw 53. We recognize that some authors (including some of the authors of this paper) prefer to classify OH 62, Stw 53 and A.L. 666-1 outside of <i>H. habilis</i>, (e.g., as <i>Homo gautengensis</i> which we do not recognize as valid), or even outside the genus <i>Homo</i>; these specimens expand the morphological and temporal variability encompassed within <i>H. habilis.</i>
