H.erectus & H.sapiens cochleae set apart from living non-human catarrhines & australopiths.record.
They show cochlear relative lengths & oval window areas larger than expected for their body mass, 2 features corresponding to increased low-frequency sensitivity <2 Ma.
The uniqueness of the “hypertrophied” cochlea in the genus Homo (vs australopiths) & the significantly high phylogenetic signal of this organ among apes indicate its usefulness to identify homologies & monophyletic groups in the hominid fossil

Simply an aquatic adaptation. Sound propagation in air vs water. See my comment at the article.Kudus in central Java?? What are you jabbering about?? Saiga backfloaters??

Only incridible imbeciles think their Pleistocene ancestors ran after antelopes.
