Andya
Anthropology is one of my weakest areas. I read your article with interest and it seems to make sense. As you may know, I however believe that man was separately created.
I have a favour to ask of you. Are you able to email me your skull outlines! I would love to be able to play with those for my own eduction. Line objects in word would be nice (then they can overlay each other).
BTW, if you have time:
Q1. What is your opinion of the creationist statment that primate/hominid findings as a whole can be considered to be either ape or man? The Homo genera seem to be significantly different to the others.
Q2. To what extent are the character states from ape to Homo progressive and/or reversing?
Q3. What of the famous quote by some evolutionist (Dawkins/Gould?? probably someone else) who said something along the lines of "There is no traceable amount of science in this (apeman stuff)".
Q4. Becasue of the mosaic nature of the appearence of some features does this lend any credence to a recent creationist claim by someone that maybe Homo and apes have been procreating sometime in the past?

^ As a biased non-expert I would generally suspect that all of the Homo species diverged from the created human kind via basic genetics/microevolutionary phenomena.
In our flood scenario of course we interperate radiodecay dates very differnetly as you may know so the animals of the fossil record were contemporaneous (up until a point for which normal processes deposited fossils). From our POV we might be able to see the non-Homo apemen as genuinely that but due to hybridisation not common descent. Although a 'gross' (unasthetic) concept, the Bible contains hints that man was acting grossly. It's a 'just so' story that makes us happy but also, to me, seems to be consistent with the data with the proviso of flood geology.
Thanks for the gif files - so I need to find a program which will allow white to be transparent - is that how you do it from gifs? Alternatively I could trace lines from your templates to get a line object that will be otherwise transparent. Thanks.
