The correct answer is D) Homo habilis. Homo habilis, which means "handy man," is considered to be one of the earliest known species of the human genus. They lived in East Africa between approximately 2.4 and 1.4 million years ago. Homo habilis was followed by other early human species such as Neanderthals (A), Denisovans (B), and eventually our own species, Homo sapiens (C).
