<h2>The given statement is true</h2>

Explanation:

The recent finding of the fossils which showed that <em>Homo erectus</em> and <em>Homo habilis</em> lived side by side in eastern Africa for perhaps half a million years challenged the conventional way that these two species evolved one after the other(<em>H.habilis</em> 1.44 million years old and <em>H.erectus </em>1.55 million years old)

  • The fossils were found in Kenya and took years to prepare the specimens for study and to be sure of the identification of the species, the scientists said
  • University of Utah geologists determined the dates of the fossils from volcanic ash deposits
  • The most recent <em>Homo habilis</em> that had been known was about the same age as the earliest <em>Homo erectus</em><em>,</em> said Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, “Now we have extended the duration of the habilis species, and there’s no doubt that it overlaps considerably with erectus”
  • The fact that the two hominid species lived together in the same lake basin for so long and remained separate species, Meave Leakey said in a statement from Nairobi, “suggests that they had their own ecological niche, thus avoiding direct competition”
