Prasmīgais cilvēks (Homo habilis) ir cilvēku ģints (Homo) pārstāvis, kurš dzīvoja aptuveni pirms 2,2 miljoniem līdz 1,6 miljoniem gadu, pleistocēna ēras sākumā.^[2] Sugas nosaukumu deva zinātnieki Marija un Luiss Līkijs, kuri atrada tā fosilijas Tanzānijā no 1962. līdz 1964. gadam.^[3]

Instead, they apparently lived side by side in eastern Africa for almost half a million years."

By another account (see the notes for Louis Leakey) Louis solicited a name from Raymond Dart, which Phillip Tobias translated as "handyman." Later it became OH 7 described under "Famous specimens" below.
