No, Mario, not excellent at all: a just-so fairy tale, which explains nothing.

If you want to understand why humans & many fossil hominoids had vertical spines, simply google "aquarboreal".

Canopy theory is heavily just-so and less parsimonious than forest-floor dwellings. Why bother making a handaxe when a plain rock will do 90% the same thing with 1% the effort? Sleeping on huge tree platforms? No, just bowls to secure babies, domes

to shield.

Lol, I just wanted to say something similar. Pure just-so story.

Yeah, and why do they call it terrarboreal, since it is arboreal canopy with almost no terrestrial? Need more evidence and logic to support this hypothesis.

See this Sulawesi video, both fishing for huge swordfish and at 9:30 to see tarsier leaping like a lemur and climbing like an ape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3bWxe9RuOk&t=626s
