Meet Nesher Ramla Homo: New form of human found

4. I hate the use of the word "primitive" in this context

It's an anachronistic homo-centric term that implies that a genetic species is progressing along some upward path that leads to a more "advanced" lifeform that just so happens to be modern homo sapiens.

Evolution doesn't work that way. Every species has adapted to its own environment at the time in which it lives; it's not a primitive form of something yet greater to come; it's just a precursor to another set of adaptations to an ever-changing environment.
