Re: Read a bit more carefully.
yes I agree our language and classification are very flawed.
for instance Mammals in the fossil record.
​
we have Reptiles then we have mammals... But it isn't that simple that’s where term Mammal-like reptile comes from... Although these creatures wouldn't be either they are one or the other really... I do wonder why they don't separate.
​
They have started to do this though.
​
Dinosaurs are now trying to be pushed out of reptile and just be Dinosaur, and birds are trying to be pushed into dinosaur as they really haven’t changed much.

Re: H. troglodytes
the Problem with them jumping to our genius is still the thought that
"Humans are not apes" when we clearly are. Its hard for people to accept the fact that chimps are almost human.(and Humans are almosts chimps). Some reason humans think very highly of our species
