Abstract
The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis for human evolution proposes that the common ancestor of humans and other great apes
(Hominoidea subfamily) evolved around 15-8 million years ago (Ma) on a series of sunken Urobora Isles that existed

:-D
IMO, gr.apes c 20 Ma colonized the W-Tethys Ocean coastal forests.
The Mesopotamian Seaway closure c 15 Ma split pongids E (Ind.Ocean) & hominids W (Tethys=Med.Sea).
Med.hominids died out (Messinian Salinity? 5.33 Ma Zanclean flood? Pliocene cooling?...?),
Red Sea hominids survived, incl. Gorilla & Homo-Pan:
-Gorilla (& other hominids Orrorin, Ardip., Sahelanthr...?) c 8-7 Ma followed the incipient N-Rift -> Praeanthr.afar.->boisei etc.,
-HP remained in the Red Sea until (5.33 Ma? Francesca Mansfield) it opened into the Gulf:
-- Pan went right -> E.Afr.coastal forests -> S-Rift -> Au.africanus->robustus etc. // Praeanthr. in N-Rfit,
-- Homo went left -> S.Asian coasts -> H.erectus Java etc. = "aq.ape"s.s. Google "human evolution Verhaegen". :-)
