Paleontological fight gets personal.

I think that Beauvillain´s is on thin ice here, whatever his rightful piece of the fame is. The skull of Toumai, Sahelanthropus tchadensis, hasn´t been hidden from other scholars nor could as crude forgery as claimed by Beauvillain be able to pass nowadays - modern "Piltdown man" is impossible. Those that claim that the skull belong to a gorilla - no fossils of gorilla ancestors have been found from this time - are the finders of Orrorin tugenensis. An interesting specimen, which has sadly been tainted by the attempts of it´s founders to make rather farfetched claims of it´s importance and to haphazardly discredit the standard version of hominid evolution - which wouldn´t be bad, if they just would have the evidence to prove that this is the case, which they don´t have - in favor of their own find and take cheap shots against other major findings, like Toumai.
