once again, this whole conversation has been in regard to Ichy's post on classifying hominid skulls and obviously there is difficulty in doing so, or there would be no issue. We are not talking about modern chimps and humans.

To somehow say those skulls were ape,human, or somewhere in between is probably not possible given only the skull and no supporting skeleton or other info.

What are we talking about then? What are these skulls that aren't modern chimps or humans, according to you? Why do we never find any ancient chimps or humans? Just these skulls that look a bit different from either...

Well if those aren't modern human skulls in Ichy's post, then they must have evolved into modern humans, huh?

"To somehow say those skulls were ape,human, or somewhere in between is probably not possible given only the skull and no supporting skeleton or other info."

Argument from personal incredulity. Your personal rejection of the knowledge and expertise of others who can, in fact, make such determinations is not in of itself an argument that discredits that knowledge.
