Fossils challenge old evoluton theory - Yahoo! News
A friend at work pointed me to this article. Research has shown that, contrary to previous research, Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus, the latter thought to evolve from the former, may actually have been contemporary species instead.
This makes the bush like nature of the Hominid family tree even more so, if this holds up. The old conception of a linear development from primitive to advanced forms has yet another nail in the coffin.
