Phil,
I actually should be the one apologizing for the remarks I made, when I
read my own post, it sounded very trite, and I am sorry.
My own research centers upon various aspects of the species question, so
I would be very interested in a discussion over that. My masters thesis
dealt specifically (no pun intended) with Neandertal morphology, and it
looks like my dissertation will attempt to tackle post-cranial problems
in species analysis in early hominid evolution.
Again, I am sorry for the tone of my last post. Looking forward to your
thoughts on species problems in paleoanth.
BTW, you can call me Trisha, that is what most everyone else does. I
usually do not have time for talk.origins, but I do find many of the
posts on there highly amusing when I peruse it.
