To posit that from this half skull we can "prove" not only that this is a man, but that it was our ancestor, not only that it was our ancestor,
Well you see my friend...the first problem that I have with your replyis...Are you a trained anthropolgist? If not, how can you be so darn sure that certain facts cannot be assertained from a half skull? Do you know the differences and shapes of a human versus ape-ancestor skull to be able to tell them apart?

Then you head off into a rant...the good ole...if this-then that-then that-then rant....The scientists are not saying that...you are putting words into their mouth. It is YOU that is making extravagant claims.
Next you speak of minutest of evidence...Just what evidence do you have to support your belief in creationism...and I am asking for hard, physical evidence...not the rants and ramblings of so-calledb Biblical "scholars". You ask for hard physical proof...are you prepared to give some of your own? I will gladly look at it with the same critical eye that you turned on this.
I think any evidence beats no evidence.

True. Being a horn-playing evolutionist, you'll answer to someone else...

I take it then the conclusion to be drawn is that chimps and ancestors of such avoid volcanoes and wet areas.

It's not enough to sink in muck. You have to sink in muck that doesn't erode away.
