[QUOTE="grizlochslaptop:888482"]There are no Australopiths outside of Africa, there will never be an Asian Lucy. Based on skeletal features determined from a VERY small sample of individuals some people are determined to split Homo erectus into three different species, Homo ergaster being from Africa, Homo erectus being from Asia, and Homo georgicanus being from Europe, and there is no definitive conclusion in sight, at least not until far more specimens are uncovered. It's the equivalent of grabbing 60 modern people from Africa, 20 from Asia and 10 from Europe and trying to cast them into groups based on physical markers, of course you can focus on their differences or their similarities, some people will say they are the same, others will say they are different, but the sample size is far too small to determine what the vast majority of paleoanthropologists and biologists believe, that given an appropriate sample size the variation drops to a level consistent with a single species. Furthermore, there is no evidence for, and is in fact evidence against (Aril's DNA tracing) the idea that Homo sapiens evolved separately in each of the afore mentioned instances, the simplest answer is usually correct in science and genetics, and the simplest answer in this case is that three (supposedly) separate groups did not evolve in the same way over the same period of time, and instead one group evolved first and spread over the world, either integrating the regional groups or out-competing them to extinction. No, this theory isn't proven either, but it is the most accepted by anthropologists and biologists alike. Most importantly, the author of this book, who conveniently self published online, presumably because no legitimate bookstore would sell his work (save online where online subscribers can sell their wares without question), has ZERO qualifications to make any argument on the subject, math, law, economics, chemistry and physics do not a geneticist make, which I'm sure is why no self respecting biological anthropologist would spend any time reading his work. Equally as hilarious as this person's attempt at throwing his worthless two cents into a discipline he has no business being in, is the fact that running the ISBN through google provides 4 links, one to the page above, two to online bookstores (one in German...) and the last to STORMFRONT.ORG.[/QUOTE]
