It seems like they would get in the way when doing it doggy style. Though if they were prehensile, you could get a tail job. And how would pants work? You'd have a hole right above your anus. Plus there's the added social complexity of having a tail: how to carry it, how to move it, when and where touching a tail is appropriate, etc... I have enough trouble with social conventions with my existing body parts, I don't need another one complicating things further. Anyways, back to more serious points...

Not to mention the fact that "species" is a human construct, and somewhat nonsensical when applied to evolution.

If all of the evidence amassed so far hasn't stopped Creationism, this fossil won't either.
