"Challenge Evolution" seems to be a misleading title. The actual title from TFA is "300,000-year-old human fossils found in Morocco challenge our understanding of evolution". Could one of the mods alter the title please?

Sorry about that, I couldn't include the full title in the submission. I figured it was the best I could do, because if we challenge our understanding of evolution, haven't we also challenged what evolution is? I'm happy with any better suggestions though!

Increase the allowable title length? :)

Even if the findings challenge what evolution is (which doesn’t seem to be the case — the course of human evolution is only one of millions of species over the years), the wording “challenges evolution” suggests that the findings cast the theory of evolution itself into doubt, which they clearly do not.

As far as a way to save character count to include a more accurate title, eliminating the “300,000-year-old” part seems like it would work.
