   the Earth over a million years ago, perhaps there may have   
   still been some movement and interbreeding between adjacent   
   populations enough that humans were still essentially one   
   species all the way from something like chimpanzee to human?   
      
   I guess overall, this sorting of fossils in bins now has   
   progressed to the genus 'Homo', but can even college professors   
   be biased upon whether they or someone might 'think' ('sapiens')   
   is validly applied?   
      
   Man progressed from an average brain size of one quarter that   
   an average modern human (chimpanzee) to the current average based upon   
   inference from the fossil record, but among the human population in the   
   present there is some variation generally associated with the size of   
   the human.  That can range as great as one half the average to twice the   
   average.  There is also something proposed to be significant - brain   
   mass to body mass ratio.  But each one of those neurons is an   
   operational amplifier.  Why would not more of them add to more computing   
   power in a brain (at least when it comes to grey matter and not white   
   matter)?  (The average brain size of elephants is about twice that of an   
   average human, and the cetaceans range from the smallest .75 human   
   average to the largest whales or 4 times human average but the other   
   side of the equation is that the horse on average has about twice the   
   brain mass of an average chimpanzee and one half that of an average   
   human, along with lions, some bears, hippos, rhinos, and some others.   
   The cow has an average brain mass equal to that of an average   
   chimpanzee, but some humans eat cows.)   
      
   Perhaps the best solution is to drop the genus Homo entirely?  That   
   way humans might have less of a penchant for calling an organism   
   'not human'?  Then if there is still a problem they could drop similar   
   sounding names like hominoidea, hylobatidae, or hominidae if there is a   
   problem even with that?  Is anytime someone writes something, the past   
   writings are deleted?  If everyone has a low attention span approaching   
   zero time, then it may be impossible to not rewrite history every time   
   anything is written.
