And no, it does not paint "a fully consistent picture to what vincentblackshadow said"
What VBS said was "There is no denying the fossil evidence and the progression from Australopithecus to Homo Habilis to Homo Erectus to Homo Sapien".
The reality is that it is a subject of dispute, in other words There is no consensus among the experts concerning the evolutionary relationship among the various australopithecines, or between the australopithecines and Homo habilis, which is considered by many to be the earliest species of the genus Homo.
There is a very visible progression. It is not a certifiable progression of ancestor to descendant, but it shows the most advanced primates known for each age becoming increasingly humanlike until they are human. You really, really, really have to strap on blinders not to see what the fossil record is showing you here.
