Sure. But will I ever get an actual definition of a modern human ? I want it precisely from the experts in this forum who keep telling me : "That's not how evolution works".
Let's say we have species X and we define modern X by the following charateristic: "all members of the species X whose tail is >= 15 cm". Now the first observable member that has a tail longer than 15 cm will be the first modern X. I am sure that wasn't very difficult to define.

Um.. what ?
There either is a first modern human or there isn't. Again, this shouldn't be difficult.

You mean religiously the first human.. anyway, I am sure the only reason why you're reluctant to acknowledge the fact that there is a first human is because it supports creationism.
