No fossil evidence for human evolution

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-06 2:56

Lucy - The skeleton of a three foot tall chimpanzee.
Heidelberg Man - Built from a jawbone that was conceded to be human.
Nebraska Man - Scientifically built up from one tooth, later found to be the tooth of an extinct pig.
Piltdown Man - The jawbone turned out to belong to a modern ape.
Peking Man - Supposedly 500,000 years old, but all supporting evidence has disappeared.
Neanderthal Man - At the 1958 International Congress of Zoology, Dr. A.J.E. Cave said his examination showed that his famous skeleton found in France over 50 years ago is that of an old man who suffered from arthritis.
Newguinea Man - Dates back to 1970, found just north of Australia.
Cromagnon Man - One of the earliest and best established fossils is at least equal in physique and brain capacity to modern man.

RAO = Recent African Origin, or the Recently Out-of-Africa theory.
It is now off the table, genomics refute it.
Homo sapiens neanderthalensis disagrees.
``Modern Homo sapiens'' and ``Homo sapiens sapiens'' are synonyms, but that by no means means modern Homo sapiens isn't a subspecies of Homo sapiens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_nomenclature
In biology, binomial nomenclature is the formal system of naming specific species. The system is also called binominal nomenclature (particularly in zoological circles), binary nomenclature (particularly in botanical circles), or the binomial classification system. The essence of it is that each species name is in (modern scientific) Latin and has two parts, so that it is also sometimes popularly known as the "Latin name" of the species, although this terminology is frowned upon by biologists and philologists, who prefer the phrase scientific name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_nomenclature
In biology, trinomial nomenclature refers to names for taxa below the rank of species. This is different for animals and plants:
* for animals see trinomen. There is only one rank allowed below the rank of species: subspecies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomen
In zoology, a trinomen, or trinominal name, refers to the name of a subspecies.
A trinomen is a name consisting of three names: generic name, specific name and subspecific name. All three names are typeset in italics, and only the generic name is capitalised. No indicator of rank is included: in zoology, subspecies is the only rank below that of species.
