Oh look! It's an orc! Gotta be at least one scientist who would go along with that...

It probably WAS a chimp. I don't have too much faith in what these so called scientists find. They've been wrong before. It seems like every time they find fossils of some new two-legged species, they immediately assume that we are direct descendants.

"It probably WAS a chimp. I don't have too much faith in what these so called scientists find. They've been wrong before."
I see. You must have information they don't have, then, I suppose. You've examined these remains and, in your expert judgment, have decided they are chimps. Is that correct?
Phooey! Anyone who studies primates can tell the difference between a chimp's bones and of a hominid's bones. I could even do it, and I'm not even in that field.
If you have a reason for thinking these are chimps, let's hear it. If you're just blowing smoke, well, never mind.

Some of the "evolving" into dwarf or larger sizes may only reflect long term (over many generations) differences in nutrition and nothing of a genetic nature at all.

had a chimpanzee-sized brain and was substantially different from modern humans.Actually, I think they've discovered the forerunners of today's Homo democratus.

very cool...further proof to the existence of dwarves, gnomes, and hobbits! Elves tend not to leave behind any remains after their long lifespan ends.

Extinction from a volcano eruption? Nah - they survived Mt. Doom and faded into the west along the Strait Path to the Undying Lands, Evergreen...
