re:Were the three homos like three different bears.....grizzlies, polar and black bears or was their relationship more distant?

There was a show on the History channel last week "Ape to man" which covered the various Homo branches and claimed if you went back about 3 million years you could find a common ancestor.

It also spent a lot of time discussing fraud in the search for the missing link via the Piltdown man.

If you can find the show - it's pretty interesting.

Thanks.

I find it interesting that there were three different prototypes for man. From what I understand, sentient life is fairly difficult to produce and here nature had come with three possibilities. It was as if nature was hedging its bets.
