- Could someone direct me to a book (or FAQ, preferably with lots of
- references) where I could double check the accuracy or lack thereof of
- statements such as this:
-
- "Some consider Ramapithecus to have been a hominid, and this judgment
- has been made solely on the basis of a few teeth and a few fragments
- of the jaw. That's all the fossil fragments they have."
-
- I naturally suspect that such statements are WAY OUTDATED, but I'd
- like some sources to back me up, and I've got a bunch of these
- statements to check up on. (The statements are regarding
- Ramapithecus, Australopithecines, Peking Man, Java Man, Neanderthal
- Man, Cro-Magnon Man, and the hoaxes of Nebraska Man and Piltdown Man.)
-
- I figured I would just post asking for a source of some kind, but if
- someone wants to entertain these claims via e-mail, I'll be happy to
- send 'em. (Hey! Saves me work!)
-
- For Jim Meritt: I've been trying to send you mail to thank you for
- all the information you sent me, but it keeps bouncing back at me!
