By the way, Mark, while you're here: would you care to share the particulars on those "contrived [Homo habilis] tools they keep pointing to"? In case you don't remember where you mentioned that, see here.

Still talking to me in the third person I see. Homo habilis averaged right just below 600cc, thus the need for a new classification getting around the cerebral rubicon. Turkana Boy was actually 880cc but was still very young and was projected to have had a cranial capacity close to 1,000cc at adulthood. You know this....
Oh, closer to 1,000 cc, certainly.
The cranial capacity of WT 15000 is measured at 880cc. Using the same extrapolations that were used for height, it is estimated that he would have attained an adult cranial capacity of 909cc.
Whichever way you dice it, Turkana Boy and the other H. erectus / ergaster specimens have cerebral capacities quite between H. habilis and H. sapiens.

Have a nice day

At least, when I say people are wrong, I show why ...
