A517141 is an overview of cladistics - it may make you want to change your title to 'The family of man' or something similar. I think with a title change this could be more attractive to pr. It seems to be more of a catalogue of discoveries so-far than an evolutionary history. No offence intended, but without a complete fossil record, which there will almost certainly never be, we can only guess at *relatedness* - notions of descent are flawed, no more story-telling.

That should have ended "no more *than* story-telling.
