Blood Brothers | Walking with Cavemen | BBC Documentary Series. Episode 2

The second episode leaps forward to a time when Paranthropus boisei, Homo habilis and Homo rudolfensis co-exist. H. habilis is depicted as an intelligent omnivore that is more adaptable than the herbivorous P. boisei. The two species are contrasted, with H. habilis being “a jack of all trades“, while P. boisei are “a master of one“ - i.e. they are specialized herbivores while H. habilis are generalized omnivores... The episode also briefly shows the H. rudolfensis, remarking that although they are taller, they are very similar to the H. habilis.
