"This is astonishing. If you looked hard enough you could probably find a gorilla with a brain that big. They may have been pinheads but below the neck they would have looked largely human," he said.

If they only have a skull, how can they make the statement that they would have looked largely human?

How old was this? 1.75 or 0.8 million years?

Not meaning to sound politically incorrect, but perhaps this particular specimen looked like a "pinhead" because it was a pinhead!
