Pretty sure they just meant hominin, but just made it easier to digest.

It doesn't matter, a human is a species of hominid. It's like saying this "primitive cat is actually a dog." No it fucking isn't.

>It's like saying this "primitive cat is actually a dog." No it fucking isn't.
It'd be more apt to say this "primitive felimforme (basal cat-like animal) is an ancient cat." It's inaccurate, but not completely wrong.

>everything that constitutes a human is absent from this animal therefore it's an early human aside from the fact it has a tail and completely different skull and can't walk on it's hind legs.

>Paranthropus boisei or Australopithecus boisei was an early hominin, described as the largest of the Paranthropus genus (robust australopithecines).

>australopithecines

>The australopithecines occurred in the Plio-Pleistocene era and were bipedal, and they were dentally similar to humans, but with a brain size not much larger than that of modern apes, with lesser encephalization than in the genus Homo. Humans (genus Homo) may have descended from australopithecine ancestors and the genus Ardipithecus is a possible ancestor of the australopithecines.

Outcompeted by other species, or loss of habitat due to changing environments (drying due to the ice age).

I always wonder if the stories of goblins and faeries were our cavemen ancestors passing down stories of us killing the other monkeys.

>>8784471
Perhaps.
