A thought I had the other day after a fun winding discussion at lunch at work:
Should there in fact be separate genuses for the people before and after our chromosomes changed from 24 pairs to 23 pairs? Which iirc would mean modern humans, neanderthals, & denisovans would form our own genus (Homo since we are the holotype species), and habilis, erectus, ergaster etc would form a separate genus.
Could this work?
