Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 37 (2009): 67– 92. Paleoanthropologists Daniel
E. Lieberman, David R. Pilbeam, and Richard W. Wrangham likewise co-write that
“fossils attributed to H. habilis are poorly associated with inadequate and
fragmentary postcrania.” Daniel E. Lieberman, David R. Pilbeam, and Richard W.
Wrangham, “The Transition from Australopithecus to Homo,” in Transitions in
Prehistory: Essays in Honor of Ofer Bar-Yosef, eds. John J. Shea and Daniel E.
Lieberman (Cambridge: Oxbow Books, 2009), 1. See also Ann Gibbons, “Who Was Homo
habilis—And Was It Really Homo?,” Science, 332 (June 17, 2011): 1370– 71 (“researchers
labeled a number of diverse, fragmentary fossils from East Africa and SouthAfrica ‘H.
habilis,’ making the taxon a ‘grab bag… a Homo waste bin,’ says paleoanthropologist
Chris Ruff of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland”).
