What? No answer?
Not yet but I won’t say never. I have learned that connection lines can jump species or create them and span huge time periods in a single line. See habilis in the chart and read this.
“Diagnostic Features
It is particularity hard to list the features of Homo habilis, because the specimens attributed to habilis (and the reasons the material was placed there) vary widely. The species is a mishmash of traits and specimens, whose composition depends upon what researcher one asks. The simplest way to describe the general features is to describe specimens that are generally considered habilis by most people, and list their relevant traits.”

Like describing a man as “kinda like him but a little bit like him but with the features of that guy”.
Sounds like good science to me!
