How do we know what traits are necessary?
How are those requirements determined?By definition. To be a hominin fossil, said fossil must meet certain requirements. Which is why a canine fossil does not meet the requirements, for example.
How are those requirements determined?
He didn't really need to explain anything to the life forms that lived prior to Man His goal.
Yes, these are measurements of what?
Ok, and how is it determined that they are hominin craniums?
Notice the difference between Loudmouth picture from mine? It's called "details".
Yes, it is a line used for reference. Now, please answer Loudmouth...are these skulls objective evidence?Did you even look at it? Do you know what a y-axis is?
Yes, it is a line used for reference.
Now, please answer Loudmouth...are these skulls objective evidence?
1. Many skulls are just skulls and have no other bones of the body.Through measurements elsewhere in the fossil. Scientists use objective multivariate methodologies to determine if a fossil belongs to one group or another:

Where is your objective methodology?
Yes or no, are the skulls objective evidence?What is the label next to the y-axis? What units is it measured in?
Already answered in previous posts.
1. Many skulls are just skulls and have no other bones of the body.
2. How do they determine what measurements are necessarily shown to be for a certain group?
Yes or no, are the skulls objective evidence?
There are many measurable points in the skull that can be compared between fossils. These are objective comparisons.
Through the multivariate analysis that I described above. This is what real science looks like:
Sexual dimorphism was examined in 221 randomly selected adult African Muscovy ducks extensively reared in north central Nigeria using univariate and multivariate measures of body size and skeletal proportions. The body parameters investigated included body weight, 8 primary linear body measurements [breast circumference (BTC), thigh circumference (THC), body length (BDL), bill length (BLL), neck length (NKL),foot length (FTL), total leg length (TLL) and wing length (WNL)] and 4 morphological indices (massiveness, stockiness, long-leggedness and condition index). The univariate analysis showed male dominance (p<0.05) in all the morphometric measurements, with the exception of stockiness and longleggedness where significantly higher mean values were recorded for females. Low, moderate and high positive and negative correlations among the body size and shape characters of the ducks were recorded. The canonical discriminant analysis on body weight and primary linear body measurements revealed that wing length was the most discriminating variable between the sexes, followed by body weight, neck circumference, total leg length, body length and foot length respectively. Three other variables not qualified to enter the model were expunged. The single discriminant function obtained (D= -3.116 + 0.280WNL+ 0.921BWT + 0.191NKL - 0.196TLL 0.063BDL - 0.283FTL) correctly classified 91.4% of individuals of known-sex ducks. This might aid in ecological studies, conservation and improvement of the indigenous ducks.

Scientists don't say, "it has the appearance of a duck". They actually use objective measures and statistical tests to test their hypotheses.
No I do not agree. The burden rests on those that make the claim that the evidence of design in life forms is an illusion produced by evolutionary processes.Don't tell me what I am thinking.
The burden of evidence for ID is on the ID folks. Agreed?
