Reply #48: "only the most stubborn and confused would continue to argue the point."

[HamdenRice]

I completely agree with H2OMan on this. This is a scientific reconstruction of homo habilis:



H20 Man has shown you a sample of his tools.

Only a stubborn and confused person would belabor the point that this creature is human -- however remarkable it actually was. It's a close relative of humans and a hominid.

But it is not human -- unless you want to pervert the definition of human or dilute it until it has no meaning whatsoever.

The fact that this creature is sometimes, metaphorically referred to as human -- in the same way that lions are sometimes referred to as cats, and modern humans are sometimes referred to as naked apes -- should not confuse any rational person to believe that Homo habilis was human.
