2) Which features have been used to support the argument that H. floresiensis evolved from H. erectus? Are these features strong evidence of this? Why/why not (be specific!)?
3) Which features have been used to support the argument that H. floresiensis evolved from a pre-erectus hominin (habilis or an australopithecine)? Are these features strong evidence of this? Why/why not (be specific!)?
When I say “strong evidence,” I am asking you to tell me whether or not there are issues with this evidence. In other words, if someone has made an argument using a particular trait, does it hold water, or has someone else disproved it. 🙂
