Lmao! Who is that?

No, that’s a really OLD HOMO.........................

A new type of Homo unknown to science:

Great. I guess the alphabet folks are going to add another letter.

They may be able to extract DNA from inside the tooth...................

There's not even a universally accepted theory on why our evolution produced chins.

So the Chinese wouldn't run out of names.................

In high school biology it was taught that a species is defined by the ability of a male and a female to produce fertile offspring.

A donkey and a horse make a sterile mule. Therefore they are not the same species.

A Labrador retriever can mate with a bulldog, as different as they are, and still produce fertile offspring. Therefore they are of the same species.

If ancient Homo sapiens mated with other hominids and produced fertile offspring, which in the case of Neanderthals they did, should the two groups be considered subspecies, not separate species?

"The discovery of a new type of Homo is of great scientific importance,"

Does EVERYTHING have to be gay, these days?

[snippy_about_it]

Hahahaha.

Well, it is Pride Month...........................

Looks that way, but I'll leave the determination to those who deem themselves scientists.

“t is my experience that anyone referring to the “Levant”, has as their purpose denying the existence of Israel.”

Probably so, as a general rule.

In this case, I suspect the author of the paper (and source of the quote), one “Israel Hershkovitz” (professor at Tel Aviv U) is probably pretty Zionist.

Sure, I’m working with some stereotypes of my people here, but I think we’re in safe territory on this one.

““The discovery of a new type of Homo is of great scientific importance,”

Did we really need this?”

It is another way they can scam money from the Feds.

[Jane Long]

Say what?

[Red Badger]

Homos..... they’re everywhere these days...................

[Varda]

Or maybe they are describing a region not a country.

[ealgeone]

We learned the term in my seminary class.

So they don’t know why people have chins? But at any rate it means that Jay Leno is more evolved than the rest of us.
