Answer 1

The genus or genera of hominin most consistently associated with stone tools are Australopithecus and Homo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genus or genera of hominin most consistently associated with stone tools are Australopithecus and Homo.

The oldest known stone tool industry is the Oldowan tool industry, which dates back to around 2.5 to 1.5 million years ago. These tools were created and used by hominins in Africa during this time.

While it is unclear whether these stone tools were created by H. habilis, P. boisei, or both, H. habilis is considered one of the earliest species in the genus Homo and has been found with stone tools.
