It is curious that this graphic shows species/genii with a controversial link to our ancestry such as Orrorin and Sahelanthropus, and includes minor species like H. georgicus, but does not include H. ergaster in favor of H. erectus, which is theorized to be the Asian offshoot of H. ergaster and probably not in the lineage leading to H. sapiens, while it is usually believed that H. ergaster did directly lead to the Archaic H. sapiens in Africa, before the sapiens diaspora between 65-40,000 BP. I think that this should be changed, but I lack the programing skills to do so. Digsdirt 16:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
