It's the "lumpers" vs the "splitters" at work again. What it may really decribe is the "muddle in the middle". As with any science, the more
you learn, the more compliated it gets.
"The growing Chibanian hominin fossil record
across Eurasia and Africa is raising a number

variability and how these different types are
related to each other."
Basically acknowledging a paucity of data...
