Was Nebraska Man ever mentioned? And what effect did it have?
You didn't really respond to cavediver's questions here. The so-called "Nebraska Man" (to give it its proper name, Hesperopithecus haroldcookii), was not used as evidence during Scopes. In fact, there was no scientific evidence of any kind used during the trial. In any event, by 1927 H. haroldcookii was relegated to the dustbin through additional field work. It was a five-year sensation at best, and was related more to wishful thinking than anything else. (Damn Europeans have all these neat hominids, how cum us Americans don't got any? )
