Yet another revision of history.

Also a revision of geography: someone should tell The New York Times that the Republic of Georgia is in Asia, not Europe.

You mean Atlanta is not its capital?

To a person who sees things as I do, all these are just a meaningless variety of chance types over millions of years, of now-extinct apes. Whatever be said of their physical form, their lifestyle was that of an animal, of an ape. A simian.

At some distinct one place and time, or at most just a few, someone Monkeyed with those Monkeys, and we are the finished product. No doubt genes from cats and fugu-fish and who knows what were borrowed as needed, as well as possibly some "image of [the] God[s]" genes from our creators themselves.

This latter perhaps took place on a dozen occasions over say the last 250,000 years.

These skulls are of rather small interest, any number of varieties may have died off here or there. These creatures were poorly adapted compared to many animals and must never have been numerous; each little "species" may have had only thirty or three hundred exemplars alive at a time...

Why so much fuss?
