And this just isn't a few fragments that were pieced together, but thousands of remains or pieces thereof (most of which have yet to be recovered) that will keep researchers busy for years and would also seem to cement Africa as the birthplace of humans: And these proto-humans are exactly like your recent ancestors: Fascinating stuff.
The very bottom of your article includes a link to the problems associated with assigning homo genus classification to fossils. Bottom line, the researchers find what they want to find, and draw conclusions evolutionists want to hear.
If you read the entire article, you will see that there are those scientists who disagree that this was a new species, and/or disagree that it was a part of our lineage, in that it could have been a "dead-end" species.

Right, it's just a coincidence that Africa was 6,000 years behind everyone else when the white man got there - - - Updated - - - And medicine, farming techniques, technology, reading, writing, math etc
European colonization lasted less than 70 years, it didn't encompass the entire continent, and it was in moderns times. The continent was (*)(*)(*)(*) long before that. And Europe has spent trillions trying to establish industry in Africa. It fails because they let the African nations run it. But hey by all means lets just "blame Whitey". - - - Updated - - - Started first, finished last.
This is true. Meanwhile China is buying up all the gold mines that the black folks have given up on. And the Chinese see black people as less than human.
What in the hell does this have to do with 2 million year old bones? - - - Updated - - - You do realize what they found was a human ancestor -- not a human, right? Or do you even know the difference?
Sounds like the "Cannibal in the Jungle" plus a couple feet. A civilization of small humans said to have lived around 20,000 years ago. Only difference is they're supposedly still living in the Flores Jungles of Indonesia.
This could be really interesting if it leads somewhere down the line. Not to change the subject, but every now and then I wonder what Austrailia, Africa and the Americas would look like if Europeans stayed home.
Except in foot races... - - - Updated - - - Instead of being part Native American, we'd be full blooded probably. Or on the end of an Aztec spear.
Everything. They had all the time in world but they're still dysfunctional - - - Updated - - - They would be under the control of Russia, or Japan.
A person would have to wonder if we'd have electricity or some sort of transportation other than animals.
They're calling it a burial chamber, but I have to wonder if those unlucky proto-humans got themselves stuck in there over time. Or perhaps as a group was moving through the area. Another thing to consider is that the opening in the cave, currently about 7.5 inches wide, was bigger that long ago. Perhaps there was more than one way to get there. Seems unlikely that proto-humans without tools for spelunking would have made the trek with dead bodies in tow(although perhaps they were sacrificed, somebody get Dr. Brennan on the case). As far as what name they give it, it hardly matters at this point to be honest. Without a more complete evolutionary timeline, pinning down exactly where things are is kind of moot. What matters is that it's a new species clearly along the line or closely related to the evolutionary path of modern humans, not whether it's called homo or not.
Fake video, although that species did exist. I had to do a paper on the "abugogo" in a mythology course.
Probably no better than the ME, if technology wasn't shared or no better than those lost tribes in Africa who are living no different today as 1000 years ago.
Certainly explains some of the people I encounter, especially on the internet, to know they may be a completely different kind of human. I don't think I have read anything in my life that did not indicate that modern humans descended from an area of Africa that is now desert.
So what happens when you force an agrarian society to industrialize for your own benefit and the agriculture that is left is forced to switch to cash crops that do little to feed the inhabitants?
You're really just a product of revisionist liberal education system aren't you? The industrialization efforts came after the colonization, supported by the European Investment Banking system, ended and were per request of a coalition of African nations. They actually continue to this day and just recently backed the largest lend of private sector funds to the Preferential Trade Area Bank. The systematic failure of African industrialization is a regularly taught lesson in the upper tiers of business, finance, manufacturing, banking, etc. Contrary to what liberals such as you would just love to believe none of it was due to "da White man". Government and business representatives from countries such as Nigera, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, have been slow to fully understand the reasons behind why the three major efforts to bring macroeconomic stabilization to their nations have failed. These nations don't know how to compete in local markets to say nothing of establishing a future in the World market.
