    -Only incredible idiots believe their Pleistocene ancestors ran after antelopes.
    -Lucy was no human ancestor.
    -The biggest problem in paleo-anthropology is seeing everywhere "human ancestors" (anthropocenrism).
    -H.erectus spent most of their time diving for shallow-aquatic shellfish. -Stone tool use began with stone use for cracking shellfish seaotter-wise.
    -The most aquatically-adapted fossil known is H.erectus: platycephaly, platypelloidy, platymeria, pachyosteosclerosis etc.
    -E.African australopiths are more related to Gorilla than to Homo-Pan. -S.African australopiths are more related to Pan than to Homo and much more than to Gorilla.
    -Miocene hominoids were already "bipedal" (wading & climbing upright).
    -Speech evolution began with duetting song (monogamy).
    -Our ancestors' brain enlargement correlated strongly with seafood consumption. -Human speech is based on duetting song, voluntary breathing control for diving, brain enlargement (seafood) & suction feeding (seafood).
    -Miocene hominoids were originally coastal aquarboreals.
    -Australopiths were bipedally wading & vertically climbing aquarboreals in swamp forests.
    -Most neandertals seasonally followed the river to the sea.
    -Late-Miocene hominids lived around the Red Sea or Gulf.
    -Only late-Pleistocene we became more wading-walking than diving for food.
    -The late-Pleistocene transition from diving archaic to wading-walking modern Homo was katalysed by a shift from seafood to shallow-water plants.

    Yup, that's MV's theme song.

    -The hominid+pongid split was caused by the Mesopotamian Seaway closure c 15 Ma.
    -Human philtrum + columella are rudiments of nose-closing in prognathic ancestors.

    Gibbons, sifakas, N concolor never wade, except in the Murky Marshes of your imagination.

    Wading+climbing ->diving+backfloating->wading+domestication ????? Absurdicus belgae!

    -Knuckle-walking evolved in parallel in Pan//Gorilla (our ancestors never knuckle-walked).
    -PA papers which contain the word "hominin" are wrong: they're prejudiced in believing that apiths are closer relatives of us than of Pan or Gorilla (anthropocentric fallacy).
    -Hylobatids evolved from aquarboreal to brachiating when Miocene pongids followed the S.Asian coasal forests.
