4. Their tools. The tools that these people used were basic even for their time. They had axes that were just a pointed rock tied to a stick. They had some measures of rope or something that was used to tie things together.
5. What they ate. Homo Habilis ate just about everything that they could find. Berries, eggs, meat, leaves, fish, and fruits and vegetables. They were scroungers who even ate dead animals that they found, even if they had no clue how long they had been dead. They were even known to go Cannibalistic.
6. Their Culture Their culture was about as basic as it gets. They had no music, entertainment, religion, etc. They usually ate everything in sight and held dances by fire.

They were always using tactics when they were hunting. Example- they would gang up on their pray to make sure that as few as possible would die.
