Lol. However, this article brings up one of my issues with the historical sciences (archaeology, paleontology, anthropology). All they have is a lower jaw bone and a tooth. A surprisingly large number of "Human ancestors" are based on similarly thin evidence. Makes it really easy for people who want to make a name for themselves to "discover a new species". Not several skeletons, just a few parts of one, maybe.
