[Taxacom] New name on the hominin family tree branch...

[Socorro Gonzalez]

I believe that "in the strict biological sense" alludes to the "biological concept" of species (Mayr).

But there are many "concepts" of species. At least in plants, most species do not fit that biological concept. Gene flow is the norm.

There is another issue in addition to the name technically not being
available.  In the last sentence, the authors note that:

======

While not a true species in the strict biological sense (since there is
strong and growing evidence of migrations as well as gene flow between
these diverged groups) this newly defined t axon cuts through the
obfuscating and inconsistent use of improperly named and defined Middle
Pleistocene hominins in Europe and Africa and should facilitate more
consistent and meaningful discussions around these various topics presented
here.

======

Setting aside the abysmal grammar, does anyone else see an issue with
describing what is admittedly "not a true species in the strict biological
sense"?
