the big deal is that it's quickly becoming a polarizing issue in the field... which is kinda entertaining (watching scientists bicker)the detractors say that the specimens suffered from microcephaly... my thoughts are that it's less likely that they all suffered from some disease than they were infact a new/different species

yeah they bicker over each new hominid find.

just DNA test it and be done with it.

i thought there could only be different species if they can no longer fuck each other and reproduce successfully, if they can still fuck then it would be more like different breeds, kinda like dogs
