"Homo habilis" ("handy man') created stone tools called Oldowan tools. "Homo ergaster" lived in eastern and southern Africa about and used more diverse and sophisticated stone tools than its predecessor, "Homo habilis," including having refined the inherited Oldowan tools and developed the first Acheulean bifacial axes.
