I will look forward to reading it. For informational sake, at the 1950
Coldspring Harbor conference, Ernst Mayr argued strongly that all the fossil
men including Australopithecus, show less variation than is seen in many
genera. He proposed Homo transvaalensis for Australopithecus and two other
species in the genus Homo: erectus and sapiens. (See Noel T. Boaz, Quarry,
p.10) The anthropologists refused to go along with the idea that there was
only one genus.
