Do the scientists have any explanation yet as to why leftists never evolved past the baboon stage?

If the two species lived side by side, where did the
progression come from? From which group? What
“environmental” stress would allow one group to
survive and propagate, and the other to fade away?
One would suppose they had similar environments, and
there would be equal chance for both groups to survive
or die.
Could a habilis mate with a erectus? would the offspring
be more “advanced” or less “advanced”..?

What environmental stress would allow one group to survive and propagate, and the other to fade away? May the branch of humanity with the best looking females prevail...

Could a habilis mate with a erectus? would the offspring be more advanced or less advanced..?There is little doubt that erectus could mate with just about anything. LOL

To: Getready
Could a habilis mate with a erectus? The two groups should have been able to interbreed for a while after the split, and before the differences grew too large.
No idea how long "a while" might be, but it would most likely be measured in tens of thousands of years.
But there may have been a geographical separation responsible for the early split? In which case the two groups may not have been able to interbreed for that reason.
This is all new ground, following these recent discoveries, so there are a lot of questions still to be answered. For me that's most of the fun of studying evolution!

My own feeling is we don't know much of the story today. Remains this old are very difficult to find under any but the near ideal preservation conditions of East Africa and we have a very small sample set. I think the story is much more complex than we presently know, but the blanks probably won't be filled in in my lifetime. Like you said, Coyoteman, lots of questions to answer.
