• Human Origins: African savanna vs Aquatic Ape

    In case anyone isn't cool enough to read the better
    group:

    SAVANNA:

    "They survived by endurance running which they couldn't
    do yet, not five seconds after falling out of a tree, so they
    all went extinct until finally endurance running evolved,
    then they all became zombies, got up from the ground and
    everything was cool."

    WATERSIDE:

    They picked up shellfish and ate them. When the shellfish
    were all gone, or too much work to bother with, they walked
    away to a clean stretch of beach and started all over again.

    That's it. That gets them all the brain-building Omega-3s
    they could ever need, and then some. That moved them
    across the continents. That allowed a higher population
    density -- the sea can support more mouths than inland
    hunter gathering -- which in turn meant greater genetic
    diversity. That gets us the periodic movement of groups
    inland to escape conflicts, disease, natural disasters and
    even climate fluctuations. This meant that diverse groups
    arose as each of the inland populations adapted to their
    unique environments. This meant that the remain
    waterside population would link all these diverse groups,
    share each others DNA with them as they interbreed.

    There. Everything. All of it. Waterside, Punctuated
    Equilibrium, Multi Regionalism/Regional Continuity,
    Coastal Dispersal:

    IT'S ALL EXPLAINED!

    Aquatic Ape explains everything while savanna can't even
    explain savanna!
