    So does that mean Chimps only ever evolved AFTER Homo mastered
    the use of fire?

    Ground foraging could be a source of selective pressure on knuckle
    walking.

    One defining characteristic of dinosaurs, for example, is that their
    legs are under their body, like a horse of cow. But there are a few,
    such as the triceratops, whose front legs are splayed out lizard like.
    This is believed to be an adaptation to ground foraging.

    You make an interesting argument: Humans didn't force the
    evolution of Chimps & Gorillas by driving them extinct everywhere
    but the forest, we invented them by setting fires...

    Talk about this idea of yours more, thank you.

    Congratulations, you got it right.
    10 mya apes were like orangutans. The whole world was forest, most of
    the life existed up there, in the canopy, and there the main animals
    were apes. There was some life down there, on the ground, with great
    sense of smell, like pigs, who ate whatever drops from above (like, ape
    eats some fruit, but fruit drops from his hand, and pigs eat this), or scavengers with who ate corpses of animals that died in canopy, and some browsing ungulates, who browsed tree barks, dogs who chased ungulates,
    and cats who climbed the trees and ate primates (like clouded leopard).
    There were also elephants, who probably evolved in mangroves, but later
    they moved inland by making "elephant highways". Elephant highways are
    "roads" through jungle made by elephants by cutting trees, and thus
    allowed sunshine to reach the ground, the next time elephants pass on
    this road it would be a lot of young vegetation on it, so they would eat
    those, and thus maintain the highway. Other than that there wasn't
    vegetation on the ground, because sunshine couldn't reach it. Except, of course, when some tree dies. Then starts a race for another tree seed to
    take its place.
    Then came humans, who started to burn pig nests, and trees on which
    apes were. For example, orangutan cannot easily cross from tree to tree.
    He has to climb all the way to the top, swing the top until reaching
    another tree, this is the only way for orangutan to cross from one tree
    to another. This is why, when loggers come to cut the tree, if orangutan
    is on that tree he falls down along with the tree and dies.
    So, we were burning those trees that orangutans were on, and ate all
    the apes around, except, of course, in areas where you have so huge precipitation that you cannot burn trees (this is why orangutans are
    still alive). Possibly some lesser apes, who could move from tree to
    tree, developed their brachiation then (like gibbons).
    Well, it looks like we did better job in Africa than in SE Asia,
    because in Africa we actually forced some apes to adapt to ground
    living. Those apes were forced to run on all fours, so they used hand
    knuckles for it. Because their fingers were like hooks, stiff hooks, so
    they couldn't extend them anymore (plantigradly, like baboons), they
    remained hooked.

    How do you think, I "have zero proofs"? I don't keep proofs in bank.
    Discussing paleoanthropology requires to have some knowledge, of which

    And there were thick enameled human ancestors living on sea coast,
    adducted big toe bipedal humans on a rocky coast, and abducted big toe
    bipedals on shallow sandy coasts. Then, 10 mya those started to burn
    around, and all your apes disappeared (except orangutans, chimps,
    gorillas and gibbons/siamangs), and only my bipedal apes remained. So,
    my bipedal apes got rid of your quadrupedal apes 10 mya, :) . And then
    those bipedal fought among themselves, :) .

    - fire changed the environment on mass scale, starting at 9.7 mya. This
    is called 'Vallesian crisis'.
    - this extincted all the Miocene hominoids except our ancestors. This
    would say that our ancestors thrived by this development.
    - wherever humans first time emerged, the same thing happened,
    Australia, Siberia, Americas, always the same pattern, directly linked
    to us.
    - the only other source of fire can be climate, but climate cannot be
    because:
    - the change is too patchy for it, climate works on the whole area, it
    doesn't work in a patchy way
    - much more important, in the middle of the affected area (the whole
    Mediterranean coast) it was Tusco-Sardinian island, completely
    unaffected by this. Only when this island touched mainland it
    immediately became affected. This means that the change goes on foot,
    not by air.
    - humans eat meat, but they cannot eat meat if it isn't prepared on fire
    - humans live in symbiosis with fire in every way
    - the technique called fire-stick farming is extremely beneficial for humans
    - eating food prepared on fire is inefficient, if an animal can eat that
    food any other way, it will do it. Also, it is dangerous, because it
    relieves your position. If an animal *can* eat any other way, it will do
    it. So, we always lived that way.
    Now, it all depends on how smart you are. Everything points that this
    is the work of humans. Of course, depends on your view, it also may seem
    to you that this is the work of God, or NLO.

    This is called 'Vallesian crisis'.

    It was cooler and thus drier, which might explain your magical
    fires quite adequately... especially in comparison to your ideas.

    It seems to be associated with the extinction of any potential

    The Late Miocene is when Yellowstone exploded, by the by,
    which would have been a global catastrophe, with long term

    The Younger Dryas cooling, for example, lasted over a
    thousand years.

    - this extincted all the Miocene hominoids except our

    I've already talked about this quite extensively.

    The coast is far more desirable than is inland, after
    such a catastrophe, and the closer to the equator the
    better. The southern hemisphere recovers a lot quicker
    than the northern.

    Europe was not where you wanted to be.

    So does that mean Chimps only ever evolved AFTER Homo mastered
    the use of fire?

    Ground foraging could be a source of selective pressure on knuckle
    walking.

    One defining characteristic of dinosaurs, for example, is that their
    legs are under their body, like a horse of cow. But there are a few,
    such as the triceratops, whose front legs are splayed out lizard like.
    This is believed to be an adaptation to ground foraging.

    Wrong, and this has been known for a couple decades. This stance
    would have practically having the beast scrapping its chest on the
    ground.

    has a decent summary of the research on the stance. For example,
    the section for the year 2000 has

    "Paul and Christiansen studied ceratopsid forelimbs and
    concluded that in life the animal probably stood with
    its elbows slightly everted but with its forelimbs
    otherwise erect. They also concluded that ceratopsians
    had faster running speeds than modern elephants and
    were able to gallop."

    And from 2012

    https://scitechdaily.com/researchers-believe-triceratops-had-upright-forelimbs/

    "Dr. Shin-ichi Fujiwara from the University of Tokyo and
    Professor John Hutchinson from the Royal Veterinary College
    have developed a new, advanced method that provides insight
    into the kinds of forelimb postures animals might use,
    derived from simple measurements on bones.

    "Findings using the new method show that, contrary to popular
    belief, Triceratops had quite upright forelimbs like larger
    mammals, not splayed out to the sides like most reptiles and
    amphibians. "

    I am talking about humans, not chimps. The scenario is possible, and
    the mosaic environment has the highest population density of humans. So,
    what's wrong? If even chimps can and do forage that way, are you
    claiming that humans didn't? Hm, this is the opposite of logical.

    First thing, we have a bipedal creature that pretty much resembles
    humans, 11.6 mya (Danuvius).
    The second thing, we *don't* have chimps 10 mya, chimps are the new

    No. Apes are secondarily knuckle walkers.

    I am fully aware of the ideas circulating on Europe being the origins of bipedalism. There's some good arguments, but our ancestors didn't
    come from any inland group.

    Australopithecus weren't our ancestors but our "bros" (relatives, :)
    ). We separated from Australopithecus 8 mya (I am correcting my dates)
    It looks like initially we burnt Europe. Then, 8 mya Australopithecus
    separated from us to burn Africa, inland. In Europe we were never far
    away from sea shore. Continuing to live on a sea shore we developed
    language (Australopithecus had only rudimentary language), which allowed
    us to start manufacturing tools. With those tools we, finally, were able
    to spread all over the world. The problem for us is that we heavily
    depend on salting food, so we need to have established salt trade
    routes. We probably developed those in Europe, but establishing those
    routes in Africa slowed our spreading inland.

    if you want to look ever so slightly less insane, you might want to

    Who told you so? You read fairy tales that geneticists write. See
    animals on Galapagos, Sulawesi, or penguins on Antarctic. Completely defenseless. Adaptation is the engine of evolution. Isolation from
    elements is quite the opposite of that, no adaptation, no evolution.
    Again, dreams, fairy tales. Setting pigs on fire is what feeds me.
    Whoever can set everything else on fire, he rules the world. This is the ultimate power. We changed the environment, made mass extinctions of
    other animals, on the whole continents, for god's sake. Australia,
    Siberia, Americas, you name it.

    They were ground eaters, obviously. The front legs slayed

    The whole world was forest, most of
    the life existed up there, in the canopy, and there the main animals
    were apes. There was some life down there, on the ground, with great
    sense of smell, like pigs, who ate whatever drops from above (like, ape
    eats some fruit, but fruit drops from his hand, and pigs eat this), or scavengers with who ate corpses of animals that died in canopy, and some browsing ungulates, who browsed tree barks, dogs who chased ungulates,
    and cats who climbed the trees and ate primates (like clouded leopard). There were also elephants, who probably evolved in mangroves, but later
    they moved inland by making "elephant highways". Elephant highways are "roads" through jungle made by elephants by cutting trees, and thus
    allowed sunshine to reach the ground, the next time elephants pass on
    this road it would be a lot of young vegetation on it, so they would eat those, and thus maintain the highway. Other than that there wasn't vegetation on the ground, because sunshine couldn't reach it. Except, of course, when some tree dies. Then starts a race for another tree seed to take its place.
    Then came humans, who started to burn pig nests, and trees on which
    apes were. For example, orangutan cannot easily cross from tree to tree.
    He has to climb all the way to the top, swing the top until reaching
    another tree, this is the only way for orangutan to cross from one tree
    to another. This is why, when loggers come to cut the tree, if orangutan
    is on that tree he falls down along with the tree and dies.
    So, we were burning those trees that orangutans were on, and ate all
    the apes around, except, of course, in areas where you have so huge precipitation that you cannot burn trees (this is why orangutans are
    still alive). Possibly some lesser apes, who could move from tree to
    tree, developed their brachiation then (like gibbons).
    Well, it looks like we did better job in Africa than in SE Asia,
    because in Africa we actually forced some apes to adapt to ground
    living. Those apes were forced to run on all fours, so they used hand knuckles for it. Because their fingers were like hooks, stiff hooks, so
    they couldn't extend them anymore (plantigradly, like baboons), they remained hooked.

    No, Mario, they were "aquarboreal" (google), probably more like bonobos than like orangs.
    Early-Miocene Hominoidea already waded bipedally in swamp/mangrove/coastal forests, feeding on tree-fruits, mangrove oysters etc., climbing arms overhead in the branches above the water.
    1) c 20 Ma, hylobatids followed the S.Asian Ind.Ocean coasts -> SE.Asia,

    ??
    Yes, of vourse:
    Danuvius is one of the many many Miocene Hominoidea along coasts->rivers: aquarboreal (or ex-aquarboreal):
    Wiki:
    Danuvius guggenmosi is an extinct species of gr.ape 11.6 Ma, mid-late-Miocene S-Germany ... probably a woodland + a seasonal climate.
    1 male spm was estimated c 31 kg, 2 females 17 & 19 kg.
    It is the first-discovered late-Miocene gr.ape with preserved long bones, which could be used to reconstruct the limb anatomy & locomotion.
    Discoverer Madelaine Böhme: Danuvius had adaptations for suspensory behavior & bipedalism:
    Danuvius thus had a method of locomotion unlike any previously known ape called "extended limb clambering", walking directly along tree-branches + using arms for suspending itself.
    The human/ape LCA possibly had a similar method of locomotion.
    But Scott Williams & others say: the fragmentary remains do not differ enough from other fossil apes to provide such a clue to the origins of BPism.

    IOW, Danuvius was one of the many Miocene aquarboreal Hominoidea:
    wading bipedally + vertical climbing in the branches above the swamps = BPism + suspenson. :-)
    Early-Miocene Hominoidea already waded bipedally in in N-Tethys Ocean mangroves, feeding on tree-fruits, mangrove oysters etc.,
    they climbed vertically, arms overhead, in the branches above the water:
    1) c 20 Ma, hylobatids followed the S.Asian Ind.Ocean coasts -> SE.Asia,
    2) c 15 Ma, the Mesopotamian Seaway closure split pongids East (N.Ind.Ocean coazts) & hominids West (Medit.Sea -> Red Sea coasts):
    pongids followed hylobatids: did they force hylobatids higher into the trees, becoming smaller & brachiating?
    3) c 5 Ma, the Red Sea opened into the Gulf: Pan went right -> E.Afr.coast -> southern Rift -> Transvaal -> Au.africanus->Robustus etc.
    Pliocene Homo went left (humans lack African Pliocene retroviral DNA, e.g. Yohn cs 2005 PLoS Biol.3:1-11): -> S.Asian coasts -> Java Mojokerto, Sangiran etc.etc.

    Actually, again, this species happen right at the faunal turnover. At
    the locality, 11.6 mya is fauna of the old type, while just slightly
    younger layers, 11.5 mya, have the new type of fauna with Hipparionine
    horses, which should, actually, belong to much younger Mammalian Neogene
    zone MN9 (which is Vallesian). Exactly the emergence of Hipparionine
    horses is tied to the faunal turnover, or Vallesian crisis. I am
    claiming that this Vallesian crisis is caused by our bipedal ancestors
    burning forest, and we do have indications of forest fires on the locality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerschmiede_clay_pit#Biostratigraphy_and_Paleoecology

    Mio-Pliocene Hominoidea were already bipedal:

    Mario, Mario,
    please...
    who is stupid??
    Your "ideas"??

    You have 0, Mario, just big words, no content.

    There's no doubt whatsoever:
    early-Pleist.H.erectus on Java frequently dived for shellfish:
    you *nowhere* have any answer:
    - pachyosteosclerosis = shallow-diving
    - ear exostoses = chronic colder water
    - shell engravings in Dubois collection
    - dental wear caused by shellfish
    - colonisations of Flores & Luzon
    - brain size x2 = DHA etc. in sea-food
    - fossilisations amid shellfish
    - stone tools & dexterity = sea-otter
    - platycephaly = hydrodyn.streamline

    See my 2022 book,
    google "Verhaegen GondwanaTalks".

    Cite for what? Do you need a cite that Moon exists? For sure I will
    not provide it for you, I will not waste my time on it. Just rise up
    your head and take a look, there is a Moon up there. You have eyes, use
    them.
    Do you know anything about what this news group is dealing with? The
    Earth shouldn't look like this, it didn't look like this for the first
    55 my of Cenozoic. Then came fire, 10 mya, and produced meadows. Before
    that, the whole world was just forest, no meadows. Then fires started,
    and those fires produced meadows, produced steppe, produced savanna.
    This started with Vallesian crisis, like 9.7 mya. But we see that it
    happened even before that. The trait is the spreading of Hipparionine
    horse, which live in non-forested areas, steppe, short grassland. We
    find them even 11.5 mya in Vienna basin locality. You have Wikipedia,
    take a look at "Vallesian crisis", at "Hipparionine horses", read a bit.
    There you will find citations.
    I am talking about Vallesian crisis, you don't know anything about it.
    Fine, type "Vallesian crisis" in Google, then read. It is so *easy* to
    find info. If you would want to learn you would learn, if you would like
    to go on my nerves, you would ask for citation for each and every word
    that I write here. Well, I will not provide it to you, why would I
    provide you an info for something that you are not interested in? To
    make a fool of myself? If you are interested, simply, type "Vallesian
    crisis" in Google. This isn't some special knowledge of which only one scientist knows about, so that I can provide you his citation, no, this
    should be a *common knowledge* for anybody who dares to discuss in this
    news group. So, I am not providing citations for *common knowledge*, why
    would I?

    Mario, Mario, you better try to anwer this:

    Early-Pleist.H.erectus on Java frequently dived for shellfish:
    - pachyosteosclerosis = shallow-diving
    - ear exostoses = chronic colder water
    - shell engravings in Dubois collection
    - dental wear caused by shellfish
    - colonisations of Flores & Luzon
    - brain size x2 apes' = DHA in sea-food
    - fossilisations amid shellfish
    - stone tools & dexterity = sea-otter
    - platycephaly = hydrodyn.streamline
    - ...

    As I said, something is terribly wrong with you. Don't you realize
    that I support most of what you say? Don't you realize that all this
    works better on sea cliffs than on your marshes? Are you that crazy?
    Yes, I support most of the things you are saying, and it is *you* who is proving what I am saying, with what you wrote above. All this works on
    sea cliffs, don't you see this? A child would be able to see this.

    :-D Mario, Mario, something is terribly wrong with you. Don't you realize that all this works better on flat sea-coasts than on your cliffs? Are you that crazy? All this works on sea-coasts, don't you see this? A child would be able to see this.
