There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

In my head, clinal changes result in new ecotypes, which to me is my defintion of a subspecies, which is that the populations are genetically different but not reproductively incompatible.
The Wahsnein fossils are around middle Early Pleistocene to early Middle Pleistocene (ShaoKun et al. 2013), so a few hundred thousand years before the Ngandong/Trinil form.
Excellent information GrizzlyClaws. So there was another allopatric speciation factor it seems.
