The research article is paywalled. The Science news article has it's
share of over hype. They have more limb bones in this specimen. Interpretation of the earlier finds is confirmed. H. habilis may have
had a larger brain and the Homo parabolic jaw with a reduced face (it
didn't need a protruding face to bite with it's canine teeth) but it was basically the same ape like body build of Australopithecines. It walked upright and was bipedal, but the limbs had the proportions more like an
ape than a modern human or Homo erectus. It has been assumed for a long
time that H. habilis spent some time in the trees just like
Australopithecines and had longer arms and shorter legs than Homo erectus.
