How did they infer a receding hairline from the bones.
Kind of surprising a bone can fossilize in only 10,000 years.

Kind of surprising a bone can fossilize in only 10,000 years. Fossilization doesn't take even that long, given the right conditions.

What aspects of their published paper (not the web press release) drive you to this conclusion?
To: Scythian
these stories are so stupid, honestly, right up there with UFO crap Of course, life does not exist outside of earth, since it's the center of the universe and all unidentified objects ever seen, by cops, pilots, judges, engineers etc, are all easily explained.

Use of the term “fossil” is pretty fast and loose where mammals are concerned. “Fossils” of mammal bones, and especially genus Homo bones, are almost always just the bones... no mineralization to speak of, but just the actual remnants of the once-living tissue.

If is more often the case that the scientists have their theories correct, but the general public misunderstands or is misled by the media reports.
Human DNA can respond to and provide a large variety of adaptations for the living environment.
One must understand that the word ‘species’ is based on ‘adaptation to environment’.
Why should we even doubt that there are , and have been , a large ‘variety’ of ‘humans’?
