1.8 Million-Year-Old Skull Suggests Three Early Human Species Were One 168
ananyo writes "A 1.8 million-year-old human skull dramatically simplifies the textbook story of human evolution, suggesting what were thought to be three distinct species of early human (Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo erectus) was just one. 'Skull 5', along with four other skulls from the same excavation site at Dmanisi, Georgia, also shows that early humans were as physically diverse as we are today (paper abstract)."
Obligatory creationism troll. (Score:3, Funny)
What! Science says that there were three different species of humans, now it says that there was only one. See. Scientists keep changing their mind. How could you put your faith in them? Put your faith in Jesus, God and read the bible instead. The truth in bible doesn't change over time, unlike science. Creationism triumphs over evolution once again.

Put on some Speed Stick and you wouldn't be so awful.
I'm just delighted to be able to explain the ridge brow, knuckle draggers I've had to cover for all my life.
Of course these species are one. Still are! As are Homerus Erectus,(average hominids) Gluteus Rex,(species attracted to elected office) Rattus Habilis,(law enforcement and judicial hairy lizards) various mamosauruses (double breasted rod suckers) and ptero shrews( pinchy face complainers).
I can't get down the street for herds of them making nuisances of themselves all day long. We need a hunting season...
