The two species lived near each other, but probably did not interact, each having its own "ecological niche," Spoor said.

This is an implausible statement even with "probably" as a qualifier. Wildebeast and lion each has its own "ecological nich," yet certainly interact.

Huh? How do they interact, besides “chasing and killing”?

By 'interact' I don't think that they mean that Homo habilis ate Homo erectus. I think they're talking about procreating.
