Petite skull reopens human ancestry debate

Notice the following paragraphs...
 
"Spoor notes that the paucity of the fossil record means that many conjectures about Homo erectus remain unproven.  "  
 
So what they find is a very small skull (likely chimpanzee) and some stone tools.  Since they cannot except the idea that Homo Sapiens (us) were around, they then have to posit the idea that chimpanzees are really, really strong and smart and can make stone tools.  Or they will come up with some creative missing link imagination saying - well these must not be chimps because there are stone tools - it must be Homo erectus - but since only a few skull peices were found, how do they know it is "erectus" ?  As you can see, hypothesizing anything as long as it supports evolution can get you published.  And publishing keeps the money rolling in... :)
