Phelan? I'm seriously asking that. I've linked up to the original paper which lists the authors. Are you an idiot, M. Phelan? I’m seriously asking that.

Sexual dimorphism would reduce the number of species named for a start. Make the 'tree' less complicated. On the other hand I readily accept that the robust <em>Paranthropus</em> were a separate species, or series of species. Tim put one of my essays on the subject up some time ago. Doesn't deal with dimorphism but does deal with my ideas on the subject. I'd certainly be interested in your comments regarding those ideas: http://remotecentral.blogspot.com/search/label/In%20Defence%20of%20Human%20Evolution%20-%20Terry%20Toohill Yes Kambiz.

How do you feel about the debates on australopithecine dimorphism? I could assume that since you shared this link on early <em>Homo</em> dimorphism, then australopithecines were dimorphic too. Of course, that's completely an assumption but I'd like to know how the readers feel about this issue. Kambiz Thanks for the link up Terry, I didn’t catch that on Julien’s blog.

Deals with a later species, the Dmanisi group whatever they might be classified as. Seems they were a family group trapped by an eruption. They are quite a varied lot but accepted as being a single species. Therefore the Homo line must have been dimorphic at that stage. Tim from remotecentral just sent me this link.
