Article structure

What I suggest here is to list (possibly on a subpage), for each candidate uniqueness, the following points:

  1. Trait (e.g. tool use)
  2. Definition of trait
  3. Taxonomic scope of uniqueness claim
  4. Pro uniqueness hypothesis (source)
  5. Potential counter examples (source)
  6. Aspects of the definition targeted by counter example, possibly including suggested amendments to definition.

Should this go into a table (possibly on a subpage) or list, or how should this be structured? Daniel Mietchen 06:14, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
