Dr. Tim White is an evolution anthropologist at the University of

California in Berkeley:
Perhaps no area of sci-

even the most basic out-
lines of the human family
tree. [So-called] New

nated. If only they had the evidence... 292
Dr. Tim White:
A five million-year-old piece of bone that was thought to be a collarbone

In 1994, the American anthropologist Holly Smith conducted de-
tailed analyses indicating that Homo habilis was not Homo-in other words,

not human at all-but rather unequivocally an ape. Speaking of the analy-
ses she made on the teeth of Australopithecus, Homo habilis, H. erectus and
H. neanderthalensis, Smith stated:
