    It's the "lumpers" vs the "splitters" at work again. What it may really decribe is the "muddle in the middle". As with any science, the more
    you learn, the more compliated it gets.

    Paleo anthropology is no more a "Science" than is Biblical
    archaeology.

    THE OPPOSITE OF DIVERGENCE!

    Over time our species converged. We are more similar to each
    other today than we were in the past. This isn't something
    that happened overnight. NOBODY is claiming it happened in
    a blink.

    Well. There are the "Replacement" meatheads but they were
    totally debunked by the DNA evidence, long after the
    archaeology disproved them. The difference? They accepted
    the DNA evidence.

    "The growing Chibanian hominin fossil record
    across Eurasia and Africa is raising a number
    of interesting questions related to its
    variability and how these different types are
    related to each other."

    Basically acknowledging a paucity of data...
