Priority List

Ok - I have been working on priority topics and have compiled the list below and am trying to work through them one by one. One of the most critical tasks - I think - is to complete some of the major headings as the subpages are logically identified and can be listed. Please feel free to go in and edit away, add to the list etc. It would also be helpful if some editors would look at completing or moving towards approval some of the articles I have started (there would be a clear COI if I did this). Many thanks in advance! Lee R. Berger 04:37, 8 September 2007 (CDT)

I also feel A sub-group needs to be set up to handle each individual species of human ancestor e.g. Australopithecus africanus, all living primate species e.g. Homo sapiens, each major fossil hominin and primate locality e.g. Gladysvale, and each major fossil discovery e.g. Taung child - (a monumental task but stubs on each to start would be great - go to Primate to see a comprehensive list of living primates).
