Cheers yourself, John. Seems to be the only interesting thread left in this
newsgroup. I got a lot of my basic arguments from Roger Lewin's 'Human
Evolution' textbook - an introductory text, but one with many solid,
popular ideas.

If you'll take one small criticism though. You seem to be interested in
detail. The problem here is that we are as yet uncertain of the general
picture, and until we are, trying to work out details is like building a
house of cards. So lets try and answer the basic questions, applying what
we already know about extant and extinct taxa.

Roh
