You'd think experience would teach people (scientists, frevolutionists, etc.) to be more reserved about hailing such finds. Give this a few years (if not less) and more evidence will overturn/discredit/clarify the find(s) as either fully ape, or fully human.

Creationists keep claiming that fossils are either fully ape or fully human, but they can't agree on which are which!

Maybe that's because they arguing from religious belief, accompanied by a serious lack of training in science, eh?

The link below has a good graphic showing just how certain creationists classify various fossil specimens. One quote from the article:

Creationists, on the other hand, assert that apes and humans are separated by a wide gap. If this is true, deciding on which side of that gap individual fossils lie should be trivially easy. Clearly, that is not the case.

Comparison of all skulls.

Coyoteman,

Not only should fossil skulls fall easily into ape or man according to the creationists, but ALL living things should fall into clear categories (”kinds”).

Has any creationist come up with a list of all the kinds, and put all known living things into them? It should be simple.

Spoken like a true scientist.
