H.
habilis
), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is “upheld”
with the help of various drawings of some “half ape, half human”
creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly,

we see less and less of it
in the serious press.
