Again, you selectively edit so much. Your reply repeats your threadbare deception that there is a gap between the disappearance of Homo erectus about 400,000 years ago and the appearance of modern Homo sapiens about 120,000 years ago.

I told you what the question marks mean on the figure. They refer to the "intergrading" of specimens between H. erectus and that species you can't see, archaic Homo sapiens. Some people, apparently Junior is one, prefer to start Homo sapiens 400,000 years ago and call the later emergence Homo sapiens sapiens. All of which was in the stuff you ignored when you just went back to one of the old threads and pulled out your own arguments.

Archaic Homo Sapiens, with the figure you posted and the framing narrative.

There are specimens all over the period where you allege a gap. I'm not going to fill up yet another thread with skulls.

Archaic Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals.

Archaic Homo Sapiens Culture.

The surviving physical evidence, from skulls such as these, suggests that the transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens, the earliest forms of our own species, occurred approximately 300,000 to 400,000 years ago.

From Here.

An overall hominid species timeline I posted to you before. No question marks on this one (but the intergrading is still there). This one uses the H. sapiens sapiens terminology. It's from here. Can you find for me the gap you're alleging in hominid ancestry?

Dishonest of you to pretend you can't see or understand or remember any of this. Your real hope by being born new on every thread is just to troll for idiots.

I could care less for your charts. Charts are proof of nothing. There was no gap. After erectus came Neanderthal and after Neanderthal came homo sapiens. The problem is that homo sapiens did not descend from Neanderthal and I already gave the proof of that. I also gave you the sources that prove that homo erectus was not around after 200,000 years ago. If you have proof otherwise, show it here. And no, unclassified fossils (which is what archaic this and archaic that means) do not count. In other words Vade let me make it real simple for you:

SHOW ME THE BONES OF A HOMO ERECTUS WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE LIVED LESS THAN 100,000 YEARS AGO.
