He concludes, for example, a more recent Aquatic Ape ancestor, does he
not? I think the ball got rolling *Way* early. That, it's what gave rise to the
"Great Apes" in the first place.
He also talked about endure running. Yes humans are capable of this, we
are capable of climbing trees, swimming and there was an actual woman, mentioned on the Ted Talks, who could achieve orgasm by brushing her
teeth.
Honestly? I can't recall the last time I walked down the street and saw anyone climbing trees. It may of happened. If it did it was a child, maybe
a teen, but it's not something that's "Normal."
And I've never seen tooth-brushing porn either. So I'm guessing that is
the exception, not the rule, as well.
Persistence hunting? Definitely the exception. Absolutely positively NOT
the rule amongst human hunters.
I think what we have here, in the case of things like tree climbing and endurance running, are duel concepts. One is that of the "Emergent
Trait." In this case, meaning things like running weren't selected for but
it was an ability that just sort of "Emerged" from walking... perhaps
even swimming (kicking in the water).
The other concept is "Vestigial Traits." In nature, sometimes, traits go
away pretty quickly when they are no longer needed. I guess those
genes are something less than "Dominant." But on all other cases you
really need some selective pressure AGAINST a deep rooted trait
before it vanishes.
Sort of a biological "Law of Conservation" I guess... why change when
there's no good reason to bother.
Lucy displays what we like to think of as some Aquatic Ape traits
because that's what she's descended from. Giant sauropod dinosaurs
do have skeletons that appear to be somewhat optimized for
occasional bipedalism, maybe rearing up, BECAUSE they are descended
from much smaller, bipedal dinosaurs.
And, of course, I've long since cast my doubt on Aquatic Ape being
anything but casually (indirectly) related to the evolution of our genitals.
Aquatic Ape is what produced all these widely dispersed, DIFFERENT
groups of Homo. And this resulted in cultural differences, including different sexual/reproductive strategies. Some were sexually selected,
some were not. The more heavily sexually selected, the more selective pressure on penis size... the more sperm competition between males,
the larger the testicles. Well humans have larger penises, even humans considered "Small" would be admired & envied by the average gorilla,
but our testicles are very middle of the road.
Even so, there's HUGE variation in so called "Modern" human men, both
in penis and testicle size. I've actually seen guys with massive orbs
resting beneath a flesh-toned string bean. So the same guy, two extremes.
To me this can only mean modern humans result from MULTIPLE sexual/reproductive strategies. Not that our willies got long because of
the water.
Dude, boi parts SHRINK in the water!
"I've been swimming" is the biggest excuse for a turtle dick...
