One more thing! I like the way you have summarized in the end the “take home” message on the difference between mathematical sciences and natural sciences (then connected it to the creationism versus evolution debate). In the latter, there may be long gaps in available data and it may be possible to fill those gaps in a variety of ways (subjectively), at least on a temporary basis. As more data points become available, of course the curve can be adjusted.

I think you could have started the article with that proposition and THEN used paleoanthropology as an example – to make it flow better and increase reader’s interest level.

Nice article, Dr. Gill, as always!

Notes:

[As a result, I could not digest much of the information, which usually included technical terms (particularly the names of the various species) in unfamiliar Latin, Greek and other equally strange languages. I was usually stumped by them.]
Oh yes, that “strange” Greek language? (Dr. NHK may have some thoughts on that!)

[The hominids, the ancestors of humans (Homo_Sapiens) and the apes lived millions of years in the past and are extinct now.]
Although, a counter argument is also possible, based on the average progressiveness/intelligence evident on the chowk web-site!

[But dating her was not so easy…. Lucy was more than two million years old, in fact, closer to 3 million.]
Indeed dating her would be extremely difficult due to the significant age difference.
