Seems that an editor left this here to be expanded ... --J. D. Redding 13:51, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Rename

Perhaps Homonid migrations to Europe would reflect the article contents better? Power~enwiki (talk) 05:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

I support the rename that has occurred. No further comment. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:40, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

{{Synthesis}}

Why the addition of "Neogene apes"? This was clearly intended as the page for "early Human migrations (Europe)", why expand the time horizon to random additional genera outside Homo? I imagine this was inspired by the title change to "hominid". Why not just change "Hominid" to "Early human", or just "human" and get a topical scope that makes sense? --dab (𒁳) 08:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Well the original intent was a rather unfocused colonization in Europe. It was renamed to Hominid dispersals in Europe following an AfD, which I suggested because the best content in the existing article was on prehistoric dispersals and that's a cohesive encyclopedic topic. It seemed logical to me to start that with the earliest hominids pre-Pleistocene. I think restricting it to Homo would be a bit arbitrary, and "early human" and "human" are ambiguous in a prehistoric context. Why do you think the current scope doesn't make sense? –Joe (talk) 09:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
