Homo habilis es un specie del genere Homo, qui viveva in Africa del Est intra 2.3 e 1.5 milliones de anno.

Es le plus ancian specie classicamente attribuate al genere Homo (con Homo rudolfensis (en) qui poterea esser un synonymo). Le specie es qualificate de "habile" proque se pensava que esseva le prime hominin utilisante instrumentos. Depois, nos sape que Australopithecus o Paranthropus utilisava instrumentos un million de annos antea.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Iste specie es describite in 1964 per Louis Leakey, Phillip Tobias e John Napier, post le discoperta in 1960 de prime fossiles in le sitio de Olduvai in Tanzania.

Del facto de su longevitate, Homo habilis cohabitava in Africa con species de Australopithecus e Paranthropus, plus primitive, e con su descendente plus evoluate: Homo ergaster.
