Thanks, Will.
Years ago we used to differ quite a bit on this issue. Things change though. After Paranthropus the best fossil candidate, IMO, is homo ergaster (maybe throw habilis in there). Ergaster is essentially early h. erectus. Which is very similar to what you have been saying for a long time.
As for Meldrum, his "working hypothesis" is that Sasquatch is a great ape restricted to the ground, but maintaining a past arboreal "legacy". He thinks its related to the orangutan ( Source ). Meldrum is great for BF research, and I agree with most of what he says, but not this time. |

I emailed it to Dr. Meldrum about a month ago. No response. I guess his "orangutan" theory is so much better. *roll eyes* |
