Question

Name and justify your selection of the three most important differences between H. rudolfensis and H. habilis

Answer 1

In comparision to H.habilis , H.rudolfensis was larger and robusts.

In comparision to H.habailis , H.rudolfensis had heavier face and jaws and larger dentition.

In contrast to H.habilis , H.rudolfensis faces were long and the lower faces were thought to be based on a specimen type , KNM-ER 1470.

The molars of H.rudolfensis were large with complex crowns and thick enamels like other contemporary and descendant species ,but they were even long . Hence this considered them to be more primitive than H.habilis.

Hence, these differences can easily differentiate H.habilis from H.rudolfensis on the basis of physical appearances and also the dentition can give a contrasting feature to differentiate between these two.
