Recent article with date change
There is an article (https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/humanlike-footprints-in-crete-dated-to-6-million-years-muddle-archaeologists-1.10301706), which says recent efforts indicate a date of 6.05 BP. It also describes the footprints as those of a biped, contrary to our lede. It refers to a recent article in Nature, which is a highly credibe source. "The new paper in Nature goes further, suggesting the print-maker could have been Graecopithecus freyberg, a species discovered in 1944 and popularly dubbed 'El Graeco.'"

Use of the term "convergent evolution".
This article contains the claim that "congergent evolution is not scientifically supported", citing a CBC news article that doesn't even use the word "convergent" in it. Putting aside the fact that the claim is not properly cited, I think the writer intended to use term "convergent evolution" to mean something more specific and extreme than what it usually means in biology. Moreover I think the preceding sentences may be going back and forth between what meaning of the word they're using. DubleH (talk) 02:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
