    The good Doctor is not a native English speaker and given your frightful level of inaccuracies I dare not assume that you are. So, let me just ask:

    What does the word "Reevaluaton" mean in your native tongue?

    In English it means there was and is a DIFFERENT evaluation. So you're
    cherry picking. Regardless, even if you're a religious fundamentalist and
    you just cited your bible, if it genuinely requires that level of scrutinization
    then it's NOT a clear cut case.

    You do get this. Right?

    A lot of this stuff is unknown and unknowable, and we really do have to
    split hairs, which is why it is so vitally important to exclude those who
    are so goddamn stupid that they don't even know they're splitting hairs.

    So see this. Right?

    BECAUSE so much of it is subjective, BECAUSE we honestly don't know
    most of the time and we're all just throwing around ideas, the very last
    people of any use here would be those so disconnected to reality that
    they don't know it's subjective, they have no clue how "Tentative," at best, these things are. And, super unfortunate for us, that pretty much describes half the field of paleo anthropology... the other half being worse.

    Half a nice day.
