Dear Susan - are you referring to A.afarensis? A. bosei?
My puzzlement in my earlier posting was over the apparent fork in the
road present by the earlier writer, which seemed to offer a choice
between (1) Lamarckism reborn or (2) a view of Darwinian Random
Mutation & Natural Selection for which all the best mathematics I have
read say there has not been enough time to occur. I really would like
to hear some educated input on this dilemma. Up to now, Yogi Berra's
quote best embodies what I have encountered ... "When you come to a
fork in the road, take it."

Thanks for writing! - BC
