There are many species within Homo including Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neandertalensis, and Homo floresiensis. Some researchers place the early species within the genus Australopithecus, and some refer to the later species as archaic Homo sapiens.

Identify common trends in hominin evolution. Specify the best indicators of specific hominin species.

The Oldowan industry is composed predominantly of cores, which are lumps of stone that have been slightly modified by removing small pieces around the edges, hammerstones (identified from battering on their surfaces), and flakes struck from the cores offering sharp cutting edges.
