So what do you call that?


What existed? It wasnt a species.


The word extinction applies to other entities besides species. Like subspecies and even ethnic groups.


Really, so what is a subspecies?

This is really tough because you dont know the scientific use of these term only the popular use, so we dont have a shated understanding of the terms. I am using the precise term.

I forgot.

How do you know something is real, versus an arbitrary creation.

I could claim that all left handed people are a subspecies, but that does not make it true.

I could also claim some imaginary line drawn across the planet means people should be treated differently based on which side that they occur.

Looking on these posts with AS eyes, I think it is one of the most interesting for a long time.
Most of the arguments I have already toyed with over the years.
I have been studying AS in myself for many years, but cannot yet see the overall picture.
It's like doing archaeology in a mist, suddenly it blows away.
Theories fit well here, but not on the next page, it’s just confusion.

This research is typical for NT's or allistic!
A lot of very good solid research then you come to the last page, the conclusions!
“It's been proposed that Neanderthals depended on visual-spatial abilities and toolmaking, for survival” now for a spanner.
The fossil record disproves this, Neanderthal stone toolmaking was basic and static.
But there was an explosion of new Flint Tools around this time.
But the archaeologist have declared this to be from the later homo sapien layers.
He who survives writes the history, maybe in this case it's been written twice.
A cave spring clean 30,000 years ago, would be very confusing to modern archaeologist's.

I am going now before I end up in a zoo for endangered species.
They give you the life of Riley, then dump you back into the wild: NT's are'e'e.
Or worse still try to integrate you into a trope, “I need solitude man”
