[Psalm 73]

"Homo Neanderthalensis and Homo Sapiens, both descended from Homo Erectus."

Supposition, not fact.

[Junior]

Gee, Homo Erectus comes before either of the latter two in the fossil record. Gee, we can see the changes in the Homo Erectus skeleton over the millennia as it gradually evolved into Homo Neanderthalensis on one side and archaic Homo Sapien and then Homo Sapien on the other. There is no abrupt change between the species in the fossil record, believe it or not. Supposition, it may be, but it is supposition with a strong basis in physical evidence.

[gore3000]

"Supposition, not fact."

Worse than supposition, not true at all.
