Slight inaccuracy

edit

The article says "a group of scientists headed by Armand Mijares... published their studies in the scientific journal Nature". This is inaccurate.

In fact, it was Mijares' team who discovered the fossils. But he was not the head of the research team that published the article. The lead author of the article was Florent Détroit of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris.

They had different roles: Détroit is a paleoanthropologist. Mijares is a paleoarcheologist. It was Détroit's team consisting of French and Australian anthropologists who analyzed the data and came up with the conclusions of the paper. It was Mijares' team consisting of graduate students of UP NIGS who found and unearthed the specimens. Both teams and both roles are equally important.

I would credit Mijares for the discovery of the fossils. I would credit Détroit for realizing that it was an entirely new species, for leading the entire scientific team, and for being the first author of the study.

I would say both of them working together, leading their respective teams, discovered Homo luzonensis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.190.106.10 (talk) 05:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
