TAXONOMIC CATEGORIES IN FOSSIL HOMINIDS
Abstract
It is one of the most fruitful procedures of modern science to bring specialists of various fields together to discuss the problems that concern the zone of overlap of their fields. Not possessing any first-hand knowledge of paleoanthropology, my own contribution to the question of the taxonomic categories of fossil man will be that of a systematist. Significant progress has been made within recent years among biologically thinking taxonomists in the understanding of the categories of subspecies, species, and genus, and it is my hope that this knowledge may help in a better understanding of fossil man.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
