Should Homo expand to include Australopithecus and Paranthropus?

New fossil data and genetic analyses suggest the traditional three-genus classification of human relatives (Homo, Australopithecus, Paranthropus) doesn’t reflect true evolutionary branches, with evidence that Australopithecus and Paranthropus may not form real clades; some researchers propose folding them into an expanded Homo genus to better map our family tree, though this would erase familiar distinctions and require changes in language and interpretation of human evolution.
