    Dear One and All

    FYI I have just uploaded the recorded video of the WHAT Talk admirably given by Stephen Munro yesterday.

    Please let me know if you spot any glitches or any other recommendations.

    https://youtu.be/s8cFZO8SsrU

    Just to remind anyone who has missed any meeting due to confusion about start times... please go to the web site www.whattalks.com DIRECTLY (i.e. not via Google) a day or so before the meeting - and on the day itself - and you'll get the exact time of
    the meeting with a countdown as well as a world map showing you the time of the meeting in your own local time.

    In any web browser, you can just start typing whattalks.com and if you do so regularly, your browser will probably "remember" it and you may only have to type in a "w" or, at most, a "wh" before pressing <enter>.

    This was the image on the web site before Sunday...

    This was actually a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.

    Seems like they hit upon what I've been saying all along, but refuse
    to admit it: Paleo anthropology is NOT a science. It's a social
    program. There really is an agenda and that agenda has no room for
    Aquatic Ape.

    Don't miss WHAT Talk #05

    You've heard of TED Talks, right? Well this is WHAT Talks.
    These are also ideas worth spreading, but only about human evolution and specifically ideas about waterside hypotheses of human evolution.
    Every month, a guest speaker will be invited to give a free, public, global, virtual talk to anyone interested in why we are so different, physically, from chimpanzees.
    The series will also be supplemented with occasional interviews, tutorials and other video items.

    WHAT Talks? - Humans, right? But why?
    There are many differences between humans and chimpanzees, including these... We are bipedal.
    We have an adult brain 3x bigger than theirs.
    We have a relatively denuded body hair pattern.
    Our infants are born with 5x as much subcutaneous fat.
    We have a descended larynx.
    We have fine voluntary breath control.
    etc.

    The simplest, most parsimonious, explanation for all these traits and many more is that our ancestors inhabited waterside habitats for most of their evolutionary history since the split with the chimpanzee.
    Waterside Hypotheses of Human Evolution do not propose mermaids or the man from Atlantis, they simply suggest that the lineage leading to Homo sapiens was exposed to greater selection from wading, swimming and diving than the ancestors of chimpanzees and
    gorillas.
    Waterside Hypotheses-related Anatomy Tutorials

    For about 3 generations, students of biological anthropology & human evolution have not really been taught a fair account of Alister Hardy's so-called "aquatic ape theory", far better labelled, in the plural, "waterside hypotheses of human evolution".
    The plan is to start to bridge that gap right here with a series of anatomy talks and tutorials that are not hesitant, or embarrassed, about mentioning the dreaded "aquatic" factor.

    This was quite interesting last time. I had decided in advance that I would keep
    my mouth shut but that doesn't mean I wasn't interested in the questions
    people asked.

    DEFINITELY recommend this!

    And, it takes place at 9am here in Boston, not 7am... mega cool.

    Who = "they", my little mermaid??
    Can't you ask a clear question? without shouting?
    About apiths? where do chimps sleep?
    About Homo? where do you sleep?
