This just proves that much of anthropology is more art than science. The way these "scientists" determine whether something is an ape or a hominid is about like identifying shapes in the clouds.

What exactly "proves" it? It sounds like one scientist disagreeing with various others.

I can easily accept the idea that the skull may not be what group #1 thinks it is. But group #2 disagreeing with group #1 doesn't "prove" anything - group #1 might still be right, after all.
