Scientists aren't trying to classify anything as ape or human. Technically, humans are apes (tailless primates with grasping hands and brachiating arms). It's the anti-evos who make the distinction and then try to shoehorn the various skulls into either one category or the other.

"Scientists aren't trying to classify anything as ape or human"

They do attempt to classify fossils and skeletal remains as belonging to some species or another, how else would they know if they found a new species or not?
