Homo habilis wasn't the first hominin to use tools, but they really pioneered the whole maker movement.

能人不是第一个使用工具的原始人，但他们真正开创了整个制作运动。

Homo habilis consists of even less: just two partial skeletons and a number of isolated limb bones.

Perhaps nothing better typifies the confusion than the fragmentary bundle of contradictions that was Homo habilis.

也许最令人困惑的，莫过于支离破碎的能人化石中所出现的矛盾现象。

根据化石证据，科学家认为能人可能与另一种早期人类，直立人，存在了将近 50 万年。

See, their skulls look a lot like those of the much older Homo habilis, which lived between 2.4 and 1.4 million years ago, and Homo erectus, which lived between 2 million and about 100,000 years ago.

看，他们的头骨看起来很像生活在 240 万到 140 万年前的更古老的能人和生活在 200 万到大约 10 万年前的直立人的头骨。

It’s hard to eliminate Australopithecus as a possibility without a more complete skeleton, but the shape of the newly-found jaw and teeth showed some similarity to the teeth of early Homo erectus -- more so than Homo habilis.

如果没有更完整的骨骼， 很难排除南方古猿的可能性，但新发现的颌骨和牙齿的形状与早期直立人的牙齿有一些相似之处——比能人更相似。
