[edit] Horizontal/vertical

i see that this template is not fitting well in most articles

i think a horizontal instead of a vertical template would be nice

[edit] ugly

I'm sorry, but this template is too ugly to place on every article. It's dominating the whole page. Maybe a template like Template:Mammals is better. Ucucha (talk) 16:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm very much in agreement! I've gone ahead and made the initial edit, both the vert -> horiz change, plus a few others. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Two questions

  1. Forgive my ignorance, but how can homo sapiens be a member of proto-humans?
  2. Wouldn't it be better to title the box "Human taxonomy"?

Rich Farmbrough 14:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Isn't that really one question with a possible solution? *grins* Yes, I picked "proto-humans" a little rashly. However, "human taxonomy" is both inaccurate (our taxonomy is Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, etc.) and would really extend to the older species at the top of the box. I'm open to other suggestions. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] And two more

  1. What do we mean by "human" in this context?
  2. What about H. s. idaltu etc?

Rich Farmbrough 14:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Which context? "proto-human" or "human evolution"? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:09, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Kenyanthropus platyops

I think that this would fit better in the australopithicenes rather than the proto-humans. 68.97.8.174 01:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] additions

I am thinking about adding some related links like Timeline of human evolution, Graphical timeline of human evolution and List of human fossils. To do so I would probably need to reorganize a bit, I also don't like how the first section doesn't get a header. I will post some alternatives here so people can comment.

sidebar option, maybe I can reduce the text to make the bar a bit shorter Nowimnthing 04:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I like the sidebar, but now that I think about it, it won't work well on the species pages with taxoboxes. Nowimnthing 13:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Since there is no comments, I guess I will be bold and try it out. Nowimnthing 00:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Um... I really don't like the "patchwork" options. Your first revision above is the best, although the sidebar is very nice, too. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

It did feel a little clunky when I got it on the real pages. I am just going to update the other one for now and try to work on on wiki table markup skills. Nowimnthing 17:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
