Australopithecus prometheus

This species was named by Dart in the 1940s. But since then most scientists have lumped it with Australopithecus africanus and indeed Australopithecus prometheus redirects to the A. africanus article. Ronald Clarke is proposing that Little Foot is A. prometheus and should be recognized as a distinct species. When Clarke finally publishes the full Little Foot skeleton it will undoubtedly will attract huge press attention as the most complete such skeleton ever. If that happened today, people will find the articles here in Wikipedia a bit confusing. To clarify the situation, at a very minimum a subsection in the A. africanus article should address the alleged species. I don't think an actual new article would be needed until it becomes clear that the majority of relevant scientists agree with Clarke and thus making a need for a separate A. prometheus article. 68.97.5.247 (talk) 23:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
