{{cquote|My own conclusion is that ''Homo erectus'' and Neandertal are actually the same: ''Homo erectus'' is the lower end, with regard to size, of a continuum that includes ''Homo erectus'', early ''Homo sapiens'', and Neandertal. The range of cranial capacities for fossil humans is in line with the range of cranial capacities for modern humans. Modern humans have a cranial capacity from about 700 cc all the way up to 2200 cc.<ref>Lubenow p. 127</ref>}} | |||
