Homo erectus is a human morphology, as is Flores, and others. A good discussion of the subject is here.

So, in other words, you agree with the creationists Marvin Lubenow, Paul Taylor, Mark Van Bebber, Sylvia Baker, Malcolm Bowden, David Menton, Duane Gish, & Bill Mehlert. And you disagree with the creationists Sylvia Baker, Paul Taylor, Mark Van Bebber, Malcolm Bowden, David Menton, Duane Gish, and Bill Mehlert.

Gotcha. :-D

The Flores Skeleton and Human Baraminology

KURT P. WISE

ABSTRACT

The morphology, age, and stratrigraphic relations of the recently described Homo floresiensis skeleton suggests it might represent a distinct post-Babel human population with an extreme morphology. Combined with the morphologies and relative ages of other post-Babel humans (e.g. H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis), H. floresiensis suggests a high post-Flood intrabaraminic diversification rate decreasing to the present. This coincides in time with a similar pattern in non-humans, suggesting the mechanism of intrabaraminic diversification operated across all living organisms. The fact that many of the differences in fossil human morphologies can be achieved by differential development and the changes seem to be isochronous with the Biblically-evidenced decrease in human longevity suggests that human diversification may have been due to changes in development. These changes in humans probably followed pre-programmed trajectories through biological character space, the specific course of which may have been largely effected by founder effect and genetic drift in small populations following Babel.

Sorry, you started to lose me on the post-Babel and by the time I got through high post-Flood intrabaraminic diversification rate I was laughing so hard I had to stop.

You don't really believe any of this, do you?
