    Her case is extreme I admit, but still, how do you get the

    You simply do not evolve to run like that in a viscous medium like

    My little little little boy, nobody denies that humans can run a bit (half as fast as horses).

    But only complete idiots deny Pleistocene H.erectus frequently dived for shellfih:
    -brain size x2 (DHA etc., cf.marine mammals)
    -pachyosteosclerosis = slow+shallow diving
    -shell engravings, google "Joordens Munro"
    -stone tools & handiness
    -coastal fossilisation & dispersal
    -etc.etc.etc.

    I think he's right. At some point they were clearly diving and I
    would suspect it had to do with the glacial/interglacial
    cycle. So while their thoughts, their culture is programmed to
    think "Eat it all & move on," suddenly they couldn't move on.
    Some pushed inland, of course, while others learned to
    exploit more of a given stretch. Diving would have opened
    them to anything BELOW the low tide mark.

    There's also the fact that Humans like other animals have
    preferences. We like certain things, and dislike others, regardless
    of nutritional value.

    "We live to eat, we don't eat to live."

    Dumb cows how preferences, of course all of Homo did!

    Check your first video where he picks up some snails and
    dismisses them as not very good...

    Anyway, they might've picked clean a particular type of shellfish,
    like Oysters for example, then resorted to diving under the water
    to get more.

    It's not a bad model.

    Why erectus? Well he does have some physical evidence to back
    himself up, and it's logical in that erectus seems to be the dividing
    line: So called "Modern" humans.

    No, NOT in any fake-science, social-program way but in that erectus
    aligns nicely with estimates on the emergence of modern brains,
    the vanishing of the Boner Bone... etc. In his model, I'm thinking that
    maybe erectus was when our ancestors stopped being a hybrid for
    a while.

    Sigh... Incredible... Grow up, my little boy:

    "Questions arise over earliest evidence of human tool use"
    Nicole Branan 5.1.12 ... The debate over when our ancestors first used stone tools is not over just yet. In August, researchers had reported finding scratch marks on two 3.4-Ma animal bones that they said were made by Au.afarensis — scraping meat off
    the bones with sharp-edged stones. If true, that would push tool use back to 800 ky earlier than previously thought. However, a new study challenges this interpretation: the marks were not made by early humans, but came instead from sediments grinding
    against the surface of the bones: figuring out what caused scratch marks on fossil animal bones is a tricky issue, says Henry Bunn: hominin butchery & trampling — either from animals stepping on bones, or from sediments grinding against them — can
    cause deep grooves & fine scratches on bones ... experiments with modern bones have enabled scientists to distinguish between those types of cuts — e.g. V-shaped marks are characteristic of stone tool use, while trampling causes more rounded grooves.
    Bunn cs say the marks on the 3.4-Ma bones resemble the types of damage characteristic for trampling.

    Enough said, little little child??
    Grow up.
    Waste your own time with your ridiculous & imbecilic nonsense.
    Already caught your kudu??

    Technically, living off the sea *Is* hunter-gathering.

    Ocean Farming is a relatively new invention, with a nod towards ancient
    Roman efforts.

    If we look at your chimps, the forest supports a higher population density
    than does a savanna. And, yes, the sea can support a higher population
    density than the forest! Kind of depends a little on what stretch of beach
    and how you're exploiting it but, TONS of protein for the taking, with
    food available year-round.

    It's long been incorporated into my arguments for Aquatic Ape: Precursors
    of tools (shells, for example), the GOBS & GOBS of brain-building Omega-3s, OODLES of time to await that luck bigger-brain mutation... fire would have
    been damn useful... even "Spearing" could enjoy a lengthy developmental
    stage while still being of use (spear fishing)...

    So, bigger gene pool, a vastly more forgiving environment, TONS of brain building DHA and more hands trying to works stuff out at the same time.

    It's a great model. The good Doctor sure has done us all a favor.

    :-)
    It's not my model, JTEM: Max Westenhöfer, Alister Hardy, Elaine Morgan...
    But I did make it more realistic, I'd think, although everything I'm saying is based on discoveries of others.
    - 'If I have seen further it is by standing on the sholders of Giants' (Newton 1675, letter to Robert Hooke, who had a hump: no Giant).
    - Bernard de Chartres (12th c.) mentioned the mythical Greek giant Orion, who, blinded, could see through the eyes of a boy on his shoulder (nanos giganteum humeris insidentes).
    - Fysician Murray Gell-Mann laughed: 'If I've seen further than others, it's because I'm surrounded by dwarfs.'
    Yes, no doubt... :-D

    It's difficult to understand how a whole science can be & remain so incredibly wrong: the idiots believe they came from Africa, they descend from apiths, their ancestors ran after antelopes over Afr.savannas, they ("hominins" :-D) became bipedal by
    leaving the forests etc.etc. :-DDD

    What really happened is so logical & biological (although we still don't know the details):
    - our early-Pleistocene ancestors frequently dived for shellfish: stone tools, big brain, voluntary breathing, pachyosteosclerosis, fur loss, SC fat layer, external nose, hyoidal descent, small mouth etc.etc.
    - and our Miocene ancestors lived in swamp forests (google "aquarboreal"): most likely (hypothesis) this began when India approached S-Eurasia (30 Ma or so?), and some Catarrhini (the later Hominoidea) reached the new islands (archipel fm, full of
    coastal forests): larger size, orthogrady, bipedality, arm-hanging, broad sternum & thorax & pelvis, shorter & vertical & central lumbar spine, tail loss etc.etc. But what did they eat there? fruits, yes, but also shellfish already? rice or ... ??
    And why exactly did Homo (Pliocene already? or only early-Pleistocene?) in S-Asia (SE.Asia??) become real divers rather than waders? ice ages? more shellfish? islands?
    Still lots of questions.

    But only incredible fools still believe they descend from Lucy... :-DDD

    If we look at your chimps, the forest supports a higher population density than does a savanna. And, yes, the sea can support a higher population density than the forest! Kind of depends a little on what stretch of beach and how you're exploiting it but, TONS of protein for the taking, with
    food available year-round.

    It's long been incorporated into my arguments for Aquatic Ape: Precursors

    stage while still being of use (spear fishing)...

    So, bigger gene pool, a vastly more forgiving environment, TONS of brain building DHA and more hands trying to works stuff out at the same time.

    Here is the abstract - please point out these "Afro_anthropocentric
    prejudices"



    Abstract
    Over the past two decades numerous new trees of modern
    human populations have been published extensively but
    little attention has been paid to formal phylogenetic
    synthesis. We utilized the “matrix representation with
    parsimony” (MRP) method to infer a composite phylogeny
    (supertree) of modern human populations, based on 257
    genetic/genomic, as well as linguistic, phylogenetic
    trees and 44 admixture plots from 200 published studies
    (1990–2014). The resulting supertree topology includes
    the most basal position of S African Khoisan followed
    by C African Pygmies and the paraphyletic section of
    all other sub-Saharan peoples. The sub-Saharan African
    section is basal to the monophyletic clade consisting
    of the N African–W Eurasian assemblage and the
    consistently monophyletic Eastern superclade
    (Sahul–Oceanian, E Asian and Beringian–American peoples).
    This topology, dominated by genetic data, is
    well-resolved and robust to parameter set changes, with
    a few unstable areas (e.g., West Eurasia, Sahul–Melanesia)
    reflecting the existing phylogenetic controversies. A few
    populations were identified as highly unstable “wildcard
    taxa” (e.g. Andamanese, Malagasy). The linguistic
    classification fits rather poorly on the supertree
    topology, supporting a view that direct coevolution
    between genes and languages is far from universal.

    It's all idiocy. For starters Homo evolved inside of the Quaternary

    For most of our evolution the Quaternary has been characterized
    by the present glacial/interglacial cycle. This is where lengthy

    by much briefer warm periods, like the Holocene we now live in.

    Interglacial periods: Warmer and wetter.

    Now what you are arguing, quite poorly I may add, is that humans
    evolved in the vastly more humid tropics & subtropical regions and
    you know this because (now get this) you think our bodies are
    less suited there, and that we seem "Designed" for more northernly
    and color hence LESS HUMID regions...

    Wow. I'm impressed. I mean, that you were unable to spot the

    Actually, one obvious solution to the dilemma which you presented
    to yourself is Aquatic Ape. If our ancestors did exploit aquatic
    resources, if this was a major driver of our evolution, and ocean
    surface temperatures are BELOW normal body temperatures (which
    they are, even along the equator), it doesn't matter how well our
    innate cooling systems are, because just by hunting/gathering they
    would be cooling themselves.

    Seems to be a great argument for Aquatic Ape. Because, any population

    We lose salt from this sweating. Clearly your "Argument," if I may grace it with
    the use of that term, is that "Aquatic Ape" must be right else would could not have evolved a cooling system designed to expel salt unless of course we were consuming large quantities of salt... like from marine resources.

    There is more food inland.

    No there isn't. And there certainly wasn't. Not even close.

    No fruit grows in the ocean.

    We're not good at eating fruit. They are very high in carbs -- sugars -- which fuels diabetes and rots our teeth.

    You do know you're arguing AGAINST your Out of Africa purity,

    Now what you are arguing, quite poorly I may add, is that humans
    evolved in the vastly more humid tropics & subtropical regions and
    you know this because (now get this) you think our bodies are
    less suited there, and that we seem "Designed" for more northernly
    and color hence LESS HUMID regions...

    Great. It doesn't support your claim.

    It 100% applies to humans

    It's about machines, not humans.

    https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/phys_agents/humidex.html

    Seems to be a great argument for Aquatic Ape. Because, any population living in the tropics and even subtropics would die of heat exhaustion unless they were artificially cooling themselves with water... perhaps as
    a consequence of hunter/gathering.

    But only if we take you seriously.

    Did you actually look at the link?

    It's a great argument AGAINST you and in favor of Aquatic Ape, if we take

    https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/why-do-we-sweat-more-in-high-humidity/

    Which is weird, because east Africa is supposed to be more not less humid.

    We lose salt from this sweating. Clearly your "Argument," if I may grace it with
    the use of that term, is that "Aquatic Ape" must be right else would could not
    have evolved a cooling system designed to expel salt unless of course we were
    consuming large quantities of salt... like from marine resources.

    Meat helps replenish salt. https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/naturally-occurring-sodium-meat-10826.html

    You'd have to eat like 8 pounds of beef, according to the FDA, to meet the recommended daily intake for a modern adult living a modern lifestyle.

    Of course if you're sweating it out -- which they were both doing and NOT
    doing in your <ahem> "Model" -- then they'd need a lot more.

    Wood and meat as complementary sources of sodium for Kanyawara

    AFAWK, the Homo/Pan LCA >5 Ma lived aquarboreally in swamp forests of the then incipient Red Sea, frequently wading bipedally & climbing arms overhead in the branches above the swamp.

    IMO, when the Red Sea opened into the Gulf (Francesca Mansfield thinks 5.33 Ma: the Zanclean mega-flood?),
    - Pan went right ->E.Afr.coast ->southern Rift ->Transvaal ->late-pliocene africanus ->early-Pleist.robustus
    (largely in parallel with Gorilla 8-7 Ma in the northern Rift ->Afar ->late-Pliocene afarensis ->early-Pleistocene boisei),
    - Homo went left ->S.Asian coast ->early-Pleist.H.erectus Java etc. (see my book p.299)

    Internal body heat. Even YOU should know that.

    So when you said "dry and hot climates" you meant "NOT hot and
    dry climates."

    No

    Yes, actually, and you even just quoted yourself. Retard.

    I now

    get an English lesson.

    "Sweating is for dry and hot climates."

    See the word "not" anywhere?

    somebody:
    "Sweating is for dry and hot climates."

    Yes, for dry & hot circumstances:
    Northern furseals sweat abundantly (eccrine sweat glands) when overheated on coasts.

    "Our furlessness and SC fat require an efficient cooling system on land. Unlike other primates and most terrestrial mammals, humans developed very abundant thermoactive sweat glands (17). The completely aquatic mammals lack sweat glands, but at least one
    pinniped has the naked surface of its hindlimbs abundantly supplied with thermoactive sweat glands; almost any activity on land, at air temperatures that rarely exceed 10°C, causes Callorhinus to wave its hindflippers about (15)."
