How can a whole science be (remain!) so wrong???
Yeah, and how can Einstein be so wrong?
Einstein was wrong, here & there, as was Newton. But paleo-anthropology
isn't even a science. It's an insult to real science to even apply the term.
Yes!
The imbecilic savanna-believers reason:
1) of all primates, only humans & australopiths are bipedal (anthropocentrism), hence australopiths are our ancestors...
How can one be so stupid??
They reason:
2) primates are QP in forests, humans are BP outside forests, hence we became BP when we left the forest...
How can one be so stupid??
They reason:
3) our nearest relatives Pan & Gorilla live in Africa, hence Homo comes from Africa... (afrocentrism).
How can one be so stupid??
They reason:
4) Pan knuckle-walks, Gorilla knuckle-walks, hence we had KWing ancestors... How can one be so stupid??
They reason:
5) we became BP when we left the forest, ouside the forest is the savanna in Africa, hence we were savanna-dwellers...
How can one be so stupid??
They reason:
6) we became BP on the savanna, possible food in savannas are antelopes, hence we must have hunted antelopes...
How can one be so stupid??
Etc.
This ridiculous nonsense can indeed not be called "science".
1) Miocene Hominoidea were already BP (wading-clmibing): google "aquarboreal". 2) Evolution is gradual: climb -> climb+wade -> wade+walk -> walk.
3) Orangs & gibbons live in SE.Asia, H.erectus lived in SE.Asia. (Besides, Homo lacks African retrovirus.)
4) Monkeys palm-walk, KWing = dorsal-hand-walking: hands were not used pronogradily between.
5) & 6) are even more stupid than the previous!
Again, do the Google on: Selection bias. Sample Bias. Preservation bias.
In all fairness, quite legitimately is FAILS to qualify as "Science." It simply
does not adhere to sound scientific practices, "Methodology."
"The light over here is better."
And we haven't even touched on how goddamn circular it is! It BEGINS
with the approved answers -- African origins, Out of Africa purity -- only
to interpret everything within their conclusions before finally pretending
to have "Arrived" at the conclusions they departed with...
Einstein broke the mold. Take a stroll down Google Lane in the direction
of "Aether," why don't you?
I spit on your paleo anthropology! I piss on it! I write "Paleo Anthropology" on little bits of paper and leave them strewn upon the bottom of the
bird cage!
Okay, maybe I don't do that but it sure ain't science...
Yes, it ain't science.
And the solutions (in general at least) are not so difficult:
google "aquarboreal" & read my 2022 book... :-)
