2. The two species could make tools.

Differences

1. The Cromogons have more resemblance to man today compared to the Homo habilis.

2.  Homo habilis was not as heavily built as the Cromogons who had large body structures.

Explanation:

The Cromogons are a species of humans discovered in France and who were taught to have existed some 120,000 years ago. They were heavily built and had large brains. This species of humans could stand upright like the modern man and the Homo habilis species. They could also make fine bone tools.

The Homo habilis existed some 1.5 to 2.4 million years ago. They are a more ancient form of man. They could not make a fire for themselves. Their body structure was also not as heavily built as that of the Cromogons. The Cromogons are more like the present-day man compared to the Homo habilis.
