The way I read it is Professor Henneberg has a problem with the gung-ho clowns who jump to speciation conclusions when variation within a species is all the data reveals.

Once again, the overreaching "scientists" get slapped down by Professor Henneberg, Professor Harrison and Professor Stringer, experts in their field. These guys clearly take a conservative approach to science -- something that is not common practice, where as it should be a requirement.

Professor Maciej Henneberg, of the University of Adelaide, a world authority on fossil human anatomy.

Professor Chris Stringer, a leading expert on human fossils at the Natural History Museum, London.

Geoffrey Harrison, emeritus professor of biological anthropology at the University of Oxford.

So Lucy could have been Eve? You posted the picture. The upper left is a modern chimpanzee. The next thing over is A. afarensis. Why do the Australopithecine skulls look so much like chimpanzee skulls? Henneberg isn't making that go away, he's just somehow failing to mention it. "Normal human variation" apparently includes being crudely the size of a chimp and having a head more chimp than human. He does a poor job of explaining how that can be so.

The way I read things, your big newsworthy finding isn't a big newsworthy finding if you flat-out *don't deal* with straightforward, obvious objections. (And, just in general, the way you and the guy at Creation-Safaris read things has a one-way ratchet and pawl in it somewhere.)
