It is one of the most fruitful procedures of modern science to bring specialists of various fields together to discuss the problems that concern the zone of overlap of their fields. Not possessing any first-hand knowledge of paleoanthropology, my own contribution to the question of the taxonomic categories of fossil man will be that of a systematist. Significant progress has been made within recent years among biologically thinking taxonomists in the understanding of the categories of subspecies, species, and genus, and it is my hope that this knowledge may help in a better understanding of fossil man.
