Dhw: However, it is indeed the hype that has put me off, and "existing apes have a human ancestor" are his own words, not someone else's. Sadly, I can't get the article you've referred to. I only get "Article not found" ... and I have far too much respect for you to push this issue. If you think the original paper makes a good case for "the start of a line that leads to upright humans", that's fine with me. After all, there has to be such a line if we believe in common descent.-DAVID: See my last entry correcting the links posted a few minutes ago. You will see his reasoning, especially in his introduction on page 2.http://www.uprightape.net/Homeotic_Evolution.pdf 
or google all of this next line:
PLoS ONE | www.plosone.org October 2007 | Issue 10 | e1019-Thank you, David. Initially I thought it said "homoerotic", but that must have been the influence of the book I'm translating at the moment, entitled RODIN AND EROS! -I've read the introduction, and I can see what you're getting at. He really doesn't need the "hype", does he? The line he's following is clearer to me now, and I'm happy to leave it at that, if you are.
