... Hi DDeden, I think it's important to differentiate between an allele, and a population (or an organism.) Alleles can propagate, or retreat, due to...
... I think that, if the gross genetic variation (CNV) is ignored, the allele tracking and molecular clock data are practically useless. The allele tracking...
... Those are just alleles, which can spread (through selection and/or genetic drift. I'm not talking about spread via virus, I was saying they can spread,...
... Something else that's unscientific, is the practice of many researchers, to make assumptions about dates (such as, how long people have been living in the...
... Here are a couple of articles, with photos, about the erectus-like fossilized brow ridge, from Mexico, in the collection of Professor Federico Solorzano....
... The small teeth of the Flores hominin may suggest that it is related to early small toothed hominins like Ardipithecus or Sahelanthropus. The best...
... Interesting points, Marcel. That is possible. It's also possible (and more likely, in my opinion,) that various hominids radiated out of the SE Asian...

One of those in the "naysaying" camp, tries to discredit the idea of Homo floresiensis being a distinct population or species, by saying that they would have...
Note, "basil" is a typographical error. I meant to type, "basal," but on second thought, I should just say, "ancestral," to avoid confusion. I maintain that...
... The chimp clearly would have won if it had had more incentive to hurry up. But nonetheless, humans seem reasonably well adapted to fetching coconuts. ...
... It seems very likely that the hominoid LCA was even more efficient at climbing trees, including palm trees, than humans, chimps, or gorillas are today....

... Reality check. There is more than one fossil. One is just a much more complete specimen, than the others. We have complete mandibles, diagnostic wrist...
... Dave, I disagree about the degree of unexpectedness, associated with H floresiensis. Their existence overturns a number of "accepted truths" and long-held...
... Lumping the Rampasasa's claims in with obviously false claims, is an exercise in inappropriateness. They have strong corroborating evidence, which backs...
... It's likely that erectines evolved from one or more waves of migrants, out of the SE Asian islands. In that context, seeing early, and relatively...
