IOW, although Mio-Pliocene Hominoidea already waded regularly in swamp forests, they didn't dive much:
there were considerable differences between apes-australopiths (aquarboreal) & Homo (shallow-diving):
did Homo's frequent diving begin
1) already during the Pliocene when Homo followed the S-Asian coasts?
2) or only early-Pleistocene (initiating coastal dispersal of the Old World)?
1) Pliocene S.Asian coasts: more shellfish there at some places? why?
2) only early-Pleistocene c 2.5 Ma? caused by the Ice Ages -> more edible shellfish?
The 2nd possibility is more likely IMO.
