Miocene_Mason Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 BTW there is some debate as to the placement of H. rudolfensis and as to whether it deserves a species name or not. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
