There's a better case that everyone/everything following habilis is the same species. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12733395/ Predicted response: "It's too old!" What the response should be: "Here's a cite that refutes it." THAT doesn't happen though... The point is that all these claims are based on assumptions, and the assumptions in the "Different Species" claim are not only questionable but unnecessary. Put short: They don't tell us anything of value. > We could obviously interbreed, but there were physical and genetic > differences. Is this NOT to be expected? Seems to me to appear exactly as it should: Divergences as temporal distance expands, convergence as it closes... The further back we go, the bigger the differences. The closer in time to us, the fewer the distances.

Taurus and indicus can freely interbreed, but the > Auroch populations that they were derived from had been genetically > separated for over half a million years. Again: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12733395/ According to the above, you're shy about 75%. > This is about the same amount > of time that Neanderthals and Modern humans have been estimated to have > been separated. So an assumption based on an assumption. > The physical differences are mainly due to Neanderthal having to survive > multiple 100,000 year long glacial periods. An assumption. Case in point: The Habsburgs Inbreeding is a VERY powerful influence. Also Google: Founder Effect Neanderthal populations were small, they would have suffered a number of "Bottleneck" events... why pretend that they were shaped exclusively by climate? > Neanderthal retain many > features associated with Homo erectus Is there a reason why they should not have? My stock example is sauropod dinosaurs. The really BIG dinosaurs! Their anatomy looks so much like their bipedal cousins that some have suggested that they often reared up on their hind legs. A far simpler explanation though is that BECAUSE THEY EVOLVED FROM BIPEDAL ANCESTORS, they retained much of their anatomy. How? Why? Because why wouldn't they? We're not discussing Intelligent Design, we're speaking of evolution. Without selective pressures on losing a trait, the trait should remain. The big issue here is likely Toba and maybe one or more other bottlenecks. They favored the African population, and that African population was sexually selected. Do the Google on r-K selection... BECAUSE there wasn't "a" population in Africa. There were many. And "The One" to win the race, to bounce back first, repopulate and start filling the vacuums was the sexually selected group. Predicted response: "You're claiming Africans are dumb! That their evolution was dictated by boners! No, WokeTarded twits. I'm saying EURASIANS are! That, what we pretend are "Modern Humans" were a sexually selected group that recovered FIRST, spread in the vacuum left by other groups and outbred the older populations... which would be us. -- https://jtem.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20Book%20of%20JTEM/page/5
