With all this handwaving, have you reached V1 yet?

You really should just admit it: no amount of evidence will be convincing because your mind is made up.

With that, good night to you.

The discovery was greeted with much enthusiasm by evolutionists the world over because it appeared to bridge the gap between the putative hominid line of ancestors (including the australopithecines and Homo habilis) and the decidedly more humanlike fossils designated Homo erectus
