• Australopiths = African apes' aquarboreal ancestors

    Anthropology: the 5 "A" mistakes:

    Traditional paleo-anthropologists simply believed
    -- non-human primates = quadrupedal = climbing = forest,
    -- human ancestors = bipedal = running = savanna in Africa.

    But:
    -Aquarboreal Miocene apes were already "bipedal": wading+climbing. -Australopiths were fossil relatives of Gorilla or of Pan, not of Homo. -Ancestor: the late-Miocene Homo-Pan LCA lived in Red Sea forests.
    -Asia: humans lack Pliocene African retroviral DNA: S-Asian coasts.
    -Archaic Homo was pachy-osteo-sclerotic He>Hn>Hs: shallow-diving.

    The facts are clear:
    the savanna idea of human evolution is the most idiotic fantasy thinkable: ridiculous anthropocentrism:
    - zero evidence,
    - physiologically & anatomically impossible.
    :-DDD
