Whatever happened to scientific naming priority where
the oldest name was the official name?

Feynman spoke of this idiocy. And I'll tell you; what
truly bugs me is that they do it in psychology all the
time, and they do it BECAUSE they're trying to play
stupid mind games...

"Alcoholism sounds so harsh! We don't want to shame people
for being an unrepentant lush. Let's call it Alcohol Use
Disorder so they all feel better about themselves."

And you can pretend that the fake science of paleo
anthropology doesn't do this but you'd be delusional.

Try:

"In 2021, Canadian anthropologist Mirjana Roksandic and
colleagues recommended the complete dissolution of H.
heidelbergensis and "H. rhodesiensis", as the name rhodesiensis
honours English diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes who disenfranchised
the black population in southern Africa."

The answer, of course, is to simply honor scientific convention
and tell the bungholes to concentrate of the science instead of
Woke names.

AND, because idiots are idiots and don't actually know when they're
being WokeTards, ban all name changes. Always honor scientific
conventions. Always. Never disregard them, even when you're certain
you're not wasting everyone's time with renaming for Woke reasons...

Not even going to bother...

Those 120 million year old gorillas were stuck, huh?

The lengths these 'tards will go to...

Bipedalism predates Australopithecus.

Which explains why bipedalism is so common today
amongst species.
