The Rise and Fall of Skull KNM-ER 1470, a transitory into some mens fancy.
The Rise and Fall of Skull KNM-ER 1470
In late 1972, an enigmatic fossilized skull was unearthed near Lake Turkana, Kenya. The skull, which was subsequently accessioned as East Rudolf specimen 1470 (or KNMER 1470 in abbreviated form), was unearthed by Bernard Ngeneo a field worker for renowned paleoanthropologist, Richard E. Leakey.

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
Leakey himself ended up back pedaling on this one..,

Based on new bone-scanning techniques, typical australopithecine prognathicity is evident in this 1992 drawing
There is precious little evidence to show otherwise. For the present it should be quietly packed away and added to the long list of abandoned or downgraded hominid specimens, which once adorned our natural history textbooks.

So, are you saying that you believe that KNM-ER 1470 is just a member of the ape baramin and not a transitional between ape & human?

If you are still following this thread you'll see I'm still a target of their attempts to goad me. Illusionists are also very good at what they do to get people to see what is not there.
