Sure, but I wrote Homo Sapiens Sapiens (not just Homo Sapiens) - that
being the branch of Homo Sapiens that is our direct parent (as opposed
to a now extinct branch, traces of which have been found in
Ethiopia[?]). I have found, in the past, references giving the 40,000
number for HSS. Right now, I cannot find any such, so my memory is
probably wrong. My point was to give the benefit of doubt to Andie's
numbers, while pointing out that our anatomy can be traced to much
longer than he mentions.

Thanks for the note,
