Suggested merge of this article to Human change

I'm not sure why there would be a separate article of the scientific name. Probably more suited for the regular Human article. Darubrub (talk) 18:58, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • No, because as the page makes crystal clear (I would have thought) it is written as an introduction to Out of Africa, not as a summary for Human. One of the things we try and do is not get so long-winded as to put obstacles in the way of the reader, who is often young, and/or sometimes reading in a second language. Sheer volume of prose can be difficult for the younger reader. English wiki is so besotted with completeness that issues of comprehension rarely surface. We are not worshippers of completeness, we are worshippers of what we hope is successful communication. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
