I suspect that a rich vein of irony or something has
just washed over me. No, hang on, it would have
to be a wave rather than a vein if it was going to
wash over. But anyway. |

Evolutionary biologists already do this,
extensively. The analyses are more often based
on DNA rather than anatomy, since sequence data
tends to be rather clearer. There are plenty of
analyses of extant human populations, from which
trees are constructed and ancestral genomes
deduced. |

// The Paleoanthropologists would study the anatomical features of people all over the world and categorize them in a spectrum from evolved to un-evolved based on how close they resemble our perception of ape ancestry. // |

Umm, you understand that, per Darwin, "evolved" is not a value judgement? There is no "neener neener; I'm more evolved than you". There's only "we're both still alive so far". Granted, idiots have been *using* "evolved" as a value judgement at least since the beatniks, but that has nothing to do with paleoanthropologists. |
