This story is dated 2014. It's not like this stuff is recent.

I mean, there's no debate here: Erectus ate shellfish!

Two other massively important points. And they are...

#1. These in particular are fresh water shellfish.

#2. They're in Indonesia.

So either erectus is found nowhere else or this validates
Aquatic Ape, because the coastline is how they would
have moved between continents.

Also: it also demonstrates how humans populated the
inland areas. They couldn't have followed fresh water
sources from Africa to Indonesia and everywhere in
between. No. So they were living along the ocean, the
salt water. AND they were pushing inland. Driven by
conflict, or natural disaster or the glacial/interglacial
cycle or disease... they followed freshwater sources
inland. Because they could. They could find foods that
were familiar to them.

Of course, early-Pleistocene Homo (we don't know about Pliocene Homo) simply followed coasts.
From the coasts, different populations ventured inland along freshwaters,
e.g. neandertals along the Rhine & Meuse (seasonally?).

Yes, but have freshwater shellfish more chances to be discovered than marine shellfish?
In any case,
- the heavy pachyosteosclerosis of H.erectus suggests salt rather than freshwater,
- the dispersal to different continents & islands = salt water.

#2. They're in Indonesia.

Obvious, but difficult to understand for who believe their ancestors ran after antelopes... :-DDD

Yes, google
"coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo PPT".

Keep regurgitating the same nonsense!
