Afro+anthropocentric prejudices:
-- Austalopiths are no human ancestors (anthropocentric prejudice), but were fossil relatives of Pan or Gorilla.
-- Out-of-Africa is wrong (afrocentric prejudice): Pliocene Homo lived along southern Asian coasts.
-- Miocene "apes" were no quadrupedal knuckle-walkers (anthropocentric prejudice), but swamp-forest dwellers, already "bipedal" (aquarboreal).
-- Plio-Pleistocene human ancestors did not live in savannas, certainly not hunting (afro+anthropocentric fantasy), but have always been waterside.
IOW, paleo-anthropology before "coastal dispersal" (aquatic ape) is at least as wrong as geology was before "plate tectonics" (continental drift).
