Gosh!  I liked it better when we were the Third Chimpanzee.

"Genera" are all about spin, aren't they?

Aren't we humans great guys to let them into our genus?  (An insult to a fine primate, as others have written on other web sites.)

So, if chimpanzees and humans are congeneric, don't australopithecines have to be congeneric with us too, to avoid paraphyly?

Is Pan a Linnaean name?  If so, and it is synonymous with Homo, who is the first reviser with regard to which is the valid name?

Too many questions.  Back to the snails.
