IOW, these papers suggest that human evolution began with the onset of a climate characterized by a severe and deadly dry season.
C4 grasses are a clear indication of the climate having a deadly annual dry season.
This is exactly what my hypothesis predicts:

They (traditional PA) missed the significance of seasonal deadly annual dry season. This oversight, I suspect, is the result of the fact that PA has been so myopically focused on trying to envision tools in the hands of the earliest hominids to explain
Without the deadly dry season and associated predatory massacres at hominid community sites (at localities that were well watered garden habitat) during the depth of the dry season there is no evolutionary expectation that humans/hominids would emerge..More specifically, without these factors there is no communal selection. Without communal selection there is no evolutionary mechanism for the communal adaptations that so thoroughly distinguish humans from the other species.

8 independent facts indicate that Pleistocene archaic Homo were shallow-divers:
• Archaic Homo's atypical tooth-wear was caused by "sand and oral processing of marine mollusks", Towle cs 2022 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24500
• H.erectus s.s. fossilized typically in coastal sediments, e.g. Mojokerto amid barnacles & corals, Trinil amid edible Pseudodon & Elongaria, Sangiran-17 in "brackish marsh near the coast".
• Stephen Munro discovered sea-shell engravings made by H.erectus, Joordens cs 2015 Nature 518:228–231 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25470048/
• Ear exostoses (H.erectus & H.neand.) develop after years of cold(er) water irrigation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5696936/
• Pachyosteosclerosis is only seen in slow+shallow-diving tetrapods (de Buffrénil cs 2010 J.Mamm.Evol.17:101-120), e.g. erectus’ parietal bone is 2x as thick as in gorillas.
• Brain size in erectus (2x apes & australopiths) is facilitated by sea-food, e.g. DHA in shellfish etc., cf. Odontocetes, Pinnipedia.
• Pleistocene Homo colonized islands far oversea: Flores & later even Luzon https://www.academia.edu/36193382/Coastal_Dispersal_of_Pleistocene_Homo_2018
• Homo’s stone tool use & dexterity is typical for molluscivores, e.g. sea-otters etc.
IOW, only incredible idiots believe heir ancestors ran after antelopes... :-DDD
