[Taxacom] hominid challenge

[Robin Leech]

I don't think so, John.  This is not a symposium or conference,
and most people will not rise to give formal, integrated evidence
in the Taxacom Forum.
You will get answers only from those you have been debating
with already on Taxacom.

Well...it will prove whether or not supporters of the chimpanzee theory can 
integrate the systematic evidence for placing fossil hominids closer to 
chimpanzees (along with humans) than anything else. Since the chimpanzee 
theory supporters more or less view it as an established fact I don't think 
I am asking too much for a coherent theory of relationship that includes the 
fossil hominids.
