I posted a nice transitional skull, along with a chart showing its posited relationship to other skulls, and all I get is complaints (no evidence to the contrary, just willfull disbelief).

OK, here is another skull for you to disbelieve. I can post a lot more if you want. Just let me know.

I spent a lot of time with the cast of this one in grad school. Its really a very pretty specimen!
