"Challenge Evolution" seems to be a misleading title.
The actual title from TFA is "300,000-year-old human fossils found in Morocco challenge our understanding of evolution".
Could one of the mods alter the title please?
- cmroanirgo 9y agoSorry about that, I couldn't include the full title in the submission. I figured it was the best I could do, because if we challenge our understanding of evolution, haven't we also challenged what evolution is? I'm happy with any better suggestions though!
- lgas 9y agoIncrease the allowable title length? :)
- washadjeffmad 9y ago"New human fossils reframe our evolutionary history"
- thinkpad20 9y agoEven if the findings challenge what evolution is (which doesn’t seem to be the case — the course of human evolution is only one of millions of species over the years), the wording “challenges evolution” suggests that the findings cast the theory of evolution itself into doubt, which they clearly do not. As far as a way to save character count to include a more accurate title, eliminating the “300,000-year-old” part seems like it would work.
- jsjohnst 9y ago> 300,000-year-old human fossils found in Morocco challenge evolution “300k year old human fossils found in Morocco challenge human evolution timeline”
- craftyguy 9y agoThis isn't challenging our understanding of evolution, but it is challenging the timeline... those are two different things.

- dang 9y agoSure.
