why is nixon the example of the human race? We couldnt find anyone else?

Would you prefer Reagan? --69.196.135.60 (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with the general objection against the human specimen samples. I would prefer to replace them with gorillas (much more noble animals), unclothed specimens. As for Nixon vs. Reagan, I'd choose neither. Some khoi-san or other nature people would be more representative for the integral existence of humankind. Rursus dixit.

Nixon? Really? Come on![edit]

Seriously Nixon represents a lot. And so does Reagan. But neither of them represent Humans as a species.

AFAIK these are Nixon and Brezhnev in 1971 during cold war negotiations — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.114.39.92 (talk) 08:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How about a better thing like people eating or sleeping, doing something animal-like. You know, like holding an objective criterion by which the picture representing humans is picked. ie. 'Pictures of animals performing natural endeavors in their habitat'. Given that politics (and government) is a political construct (and hence an entirely synthesized and therefore non-natural construct) it should not be used to represent humans as a species.

I see and understand the argument that politics/government is as good a human activity as any to demonstrate humans as a species. However, its more misrepresenting of Humans of the world (as a species) than anything else out there could be.

I mean hell, even a cliche diversity picture of people of all different colors is better than nixon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.168.173 (talk) 17:13, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nixon doesn't even belong here. The man was clearly a reptile.--Filby (talk) 23:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Representative?[edit]

Mammals seem overrepresented here by rodent-like creatures?

Canine or feline animals seem to be obviously missing, for instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.10.20 (talk) 00:03, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
