  • Does DHA settle the question on human origins?

    From JTEM@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 30 14:14:32 2022
    The answer is "Yes." It's really a matter of whether
    or not any particular individual accepts it...

    Omega-3s and DHA in particular would be vital in
    the rise of Homo: If you're going to build a brick
    house you need bricks. If you're going to grow a
    large brain you need these Omega-3s.

    So did Homo or at least "Modern Humans" originate
    only 84k years ago, or where our ancestors getting
    the necessary Omega-3s from another source?

    Oh. That "Other Source" means "Aquatic Ape."

    It means "Aquatic Ape" is correct and savanna nonsense
    is dead.

    So, is it?

    I hope so. :-)

    Big brain (DHA), fur loss, fat body, sodium+water excreting skin glands, plantigrady, island colonizations, voluntary breathing etc.etc.
    Google "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo".
