Is there a word to describe the specific sort of evolution where no
branching has occurred? I'm having a difficult time explaining to
someone why H. erectus can be the ancestor of H. sapiens, with no
branching in between, and how the both can therefore be considered of
the same species in a sense, but that this in no way means that we are
the same.


Was there not branching? Both 'Homo sapiens sapiens' and 'Homo sapiens
neanderthalensis' claim 'Homo erectus' as an ancestor.
