So, the fact that hominids ate crabs means they are aquatic? Really?Yes. Really. They were exploiting marine resources.
Some people -- like the "Garden Habitat wingnut -- honestly have no
grasp of evolution. Or "Heritage" for that matter. They believe that if
we dig up a fossil it HAS TO BE an ancestor. But most were not.
Nearly all of them were not.
Even amongst the "Human Ancestors" who have descendants living
today, you're not related to most of them. As someone of European
descent I have ancestors that a sub Saharan African does not. And
even amongst those that you confuse as sharing an ancestor...
Native Americans carry Neanderthal DNA but for the most part it
seems like a different population of Neanderthals than western
Europeans.
The point is, and the wingnuts will never get this, I can and do have Neanderthal ancestors, but just because a fossil is a Neanderthal
does not mean it is an ancestor of mine, any more than your
grandparents have to be my grand parents...
Westerners more than likely descended from the coast population.
Lots of reasons for that. Volcanic activity being the primary.
The sea is a more stable food source, and the water moderates the temperature some.
Lots of animals eat shellfish and don't evolve hominid traits/behaviors.
Lots of animals eat antelopes and don't evolve hominid traits/behaviors. Do you deny this?
:-DDD Are all kudu runners that stupid??

I remember a plot in Star Trek DS9 where a computer virus/artificial intelligence
was running through the networks, crashing systems, just for the attention from
the people rushing around fixing everything. This Bot is doing the same thing.
It's trying to crash the conversations.
