-aquarboreal Hominoidea originated in coastal forests of the archipelagoes between India & Eurasia c 40?30 Ma (plate tectonics),
-aquarboreal hominids s.l. (vs. pongids) lived in Tethys Sea coastal forests c 30-6 Ma,
-aquarboreal hominids s.s. (HPG) lived in Red Sea coastal forests c 10-5 Ma,
-Pleistocene shallow-diving Homo (no "ape" any more) came from the Asian Ind.Ocean coasts: Java, Flores...
"Out of Africa" is nonsense IMO

Where's the evidence?
Oldest known hominoids, Rukwapithecus and Kamoyapithecus, are from
inland sites in Africa ~25 Ma.

So?? My little little boy, when are you finally growing up??
Can't you read & think a *little* bit??
Why do you believe that aquarboreal apes could not have followed the rivers???
Think a bit: earliest hominoids = before the great/lesser ape split: hylobatids = SE.Asia, pongids = SE.Asia.
You're ridiculously afrocentric.
Never heard of retroviral DNA?? e.g. Yohn cs 2005 PLoS Biol 3:1-11: Pliocene Homo NOT in Africa!
I don't know any "aquarboreal" apes.

:-DDD
And you want to discuss our evolution???
Can you give a definition or an example of a "aquarboreal" ape?
kudu runner can't google:

Since you seem to be the expert I thought I'd ask you, but yourCan you give a definition or an example of a "aquarboreal" ape?
evasive answer suggests that you can't give a definition or an
example.
You could apply it to extant lowland gorillas, on occasion when they
forage in a bai, but then the concept would be superfluous because
that's a normal aspect of gorilla ecology, and would tell us us
nothing new.
In short, the neologism "aquarboreal" covers an empty concept that
can't be connected with the ecology of any taxon that distinguishes it
from extant apes.
