I know I have previously bounced one of Bill topics from a debate forum to this forum, because the opening message was little or nothing more than a bare link(s) (albeit a fine link(s) I'm sure).
I'm sure that is why Bill posted this topic to this forum.
While message 1 was indeed a collection of links, it does include come commentary and/or quotes, and seems suitable and destined to be a debate topic (and debating in the L&I forum is discouraged).
I'm going to move it to the "Human Origins" forum. Maybe I'll post a "What does and does not belong in the L&I forum? topic.
