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.
The attached study proposes P. spelaea and P. leo split 1.89 million years ago and this split came before the presence of P. fossilis (at least whats on record). The dating of the split is highly indicative a distinct speciation, as in P. spelaea is the correct taxonomic classification. P. fossilis is then hinted to be just a type of P. spelaea.
