Be careful Robert, these are far from straightforward signs. The morfological diferences among Modern Man are also vast! There are quite a few amongst us that also have very pronounced eyebrow ridges. It is only possible to make a distinction if a lot of the morfological characteristic are seen together on a skeleton. Just one or two elemnts is not enough to make a distinction. It is often very difficult or even impossible considering the fragmentary character of the fossil material we have.
