    For the record, and in an attempt to get people
    to go out on the limb:

    I think they're recent. That was my first impression;
    that they're WAY younger than has been speculated,
    maybe half the age thrown about in the media.

    ...younger than habilis, younger than erectus.

    The 19th century linear model never even occurred
    to me. I never once thought that they might be a
    "Missing link," that they were an ancestor.

    So, yes, that was my immediate impression.
