The ancient human species Homo habilis, also known as "handy man," lived in East and South Africa during the Early Pleistocene between 2.31 million and 1.65 million years ago (mya). When H. habilis was first described as a species in 1964, there was a lot of debate about it, and many scientists suggested that it be grouped with Australopithecus africanus—the only other early hominin species at the time—but as time went on and more significant discoveries were made, H. habilis gained more recognition. By the 1980s, it had been hypothesized that Homo habilis, which later gave rise to Homo erectus, was a direct ancestor of modern humans.

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent:___.

irina [24]

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent very large impact craters filled with basaltic lava.

As the brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon softens the axial wobble of our home planet, making it a more habitable planet, resulting in a relatively stable climate. It also causes the tides, creating rhythms that have guided humans for thousands of years.

Without the Moon, a day on Earth would only last 6 to 12 hours. A year can be more than 1000 days. This is because the earth's rotation slows down over time thanks to gravity (or the gravitational pull of the moon). Without it, the days would fly by.
