Homo sapiens daliensis has priority.

It’s ridiculous to use completely different names, depending whether you consider it a subspecies or a species.

Per the rules equivalent species and subspecies definitely need to have the same name. This one was considered to be a different type than the Dali specimen, though, which they call tentatively H. longi.

(And apparently they also consider the name H. daliensis as not having been validly published yet, so it wouldn’t have priority over these others. I don’t know if that’s a fair take or not.)

Dino porn! The porn you didn’t know you needed! :rofl:

What has consistently stumped paleontologists, however, is just how dinosaurs made the bed rock.

OMG, this could be a Beth Mole article!
