Re: End of evolution??
the competative stresses are stronger on sapiens than any other homo group
Really? Who do you think had it harder, the H. ergaster who had to hunt and forage for food or the H. sapiens who can just walk down the block to the megamart?
the environmental stresses are stronger
Really? Who do you think had it harder, the H. ergaster who lived in a crude shelter by a small fire or the H. sapiens who lives in a modern home?
there have been no new homo species in the last 100 000 years
Really? when did you complete your exhaustive survery of all humans past and present? I admit that it is very very unlikely that there is another species of Homo out there but until each and every human past and present is examined it can't be 100% ruled out.

Re: End of evolution??
Around 70 % of the world's population don't have enough to eat.
How many of those are living in situations that are still far better than H. ergaster could hope for?
since nobody has found a fossil record and it should be easier to find than habilis, ergaster, and heidelbergenisis.
How would you test a fossil that looks like modern H. sapiens for inter-fertility with modern H. sapiens?

Re: End of evolution??
Are you saying that you have discovered other species that have come out of homo sapiens? Prepare you Nobel speech. I'm submitting your name.
That is most definitely notwhat I'm saying. What I'm saying is: How would you test a fossil that looks like modern H. sapiens for inter-fertility with modern H. sapiens?

Re: All this and anti-vax too?
I don't think you could.
So you can't show that modern humans are the same species as humans of the relativly recent past.
