• Bipedal "Ape" found in Germany?

    From JTEM is so reasonable@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 25 23:41:26 2023
    Now I'm on record stating that I'm the very last person
    to pee myself over a tooth but, for the benefit of those
    who cling to these things like a drowning man to a life
    preserver...

    So National Geographic absolutely ROTS as a cite but
    here's this:

    In the highly likely event you can't even read that one, here's
    another URL:

    https://www.sciencealert.com/ancient-teeth-rewrite-human-history-9-7-million-year-old-mystery

    The claim is that the tooth -- teeth, it seems -- compare to
    Ardipithecus or Australopithecus, only they're *Way* older
    than anything found in Africa... almost 10 million years old.

    Speaking of old, this is a 2017 story. Obviously it's not something
    that resonated.

    But I'm raising it, because although it's too old for any of us
    other than the good Doctor, it's interesting.

    Hominids-dryopiths lived all around the Med.Sea (e.g. BP footprints Trachilos c 6 Ma) + Eur.rivers, but died out 6-5 Ma (cooling? mega-flood? ...?), only those in the Red Sea survived:

    Simple, no? :-)

    A new great ape with startling resemblances to African members
    of the hominin tribe, excavated from the Mid-Vallesian
    Dinotheriensande of Eppelsheim. First report (Hominoidea,
    Miocene, MN 9, Proto-Rhine River, Germany)

    Abstract
    In September 2016, two teeth of an up to now undescribed
    member of the Hominoidea have been uncovered from
    sediments of the Proto-Rhine River near Eppelsheim,
    Germany, the type locality for the Eppelsheim Formation
    (i. e. Dinotheriensande) and of 25 mammals of various
    systematic positions. Together with other finds from
    Eppelsheim and the Wissberg location, which is only 18 km
    away, these are the northernmost occurrences of Miocene
    primates in Europe. Both teeth, the crowns of an upper
    left canine and an upper right first molar, are
    exceptionally well preserved and obviously come from the
    same body of unknown sex. Their sedimentological
    environment and the accompanying faunal elements point to
    an age shortly before the Mid-Vallesian crisis at ca.
    9.7 Ma. While the molar shares characters with various
    other taxa, the canine reveals intriguingly potential
    hominin affinities: its lingual outline is clearly
    diamond-shaped; its ratio of lingual height / mesiodistal
    length is within the range of Australopithecus afarensis,
    Ardipithecus ramidus, Ardipithecus kadabba, and females
    of Pan troglodytes. The relative size of the canine,
    i. e. the ratio of the buccal heights of C and M1, is
    similar to those of e.g. Dryopithecus sp., Ankarapithecus
    meteai but also Ardipithecus ramidus. Both, reduced size
    and shape of the canine likely indicate that the new
    species from Eppelsheim had lost a honing (C/p3) complex
    already ca. 9.7 Ma ago. From all information gathered up
    to now, the question arises, if the newly discovered
    Eppelsheim species may be related to members of the
    African hominin tribe.

    :-) Thanks! This perfectly confirms our view of hominoid evolution: schematically (my book pp.299-300):
    -25 Ma India approaching S-Eurasia -> archipel fm: cercopith/ape split: Catarrhini reaching these coastal forests became Hominoidea: larger size, tail loss, very broad sternum-thorax-pelvis = dorsal scapulas = lateral arm+leg movements, shorter &
    central lumbar spine = orthogrady: wading bipedally + climbing arms overhead in swamp forests, google "aquarboreal",
    -20 Ma India underneath Eurasia split lesser apes (E -> SE.Asia) & great apes (W) -> Tethys Sea-coastal forests + rivers,
    -15 Ma Mesopotamian Seaway closure split hominids-dryopiths (W -> Med.Sea + rivers) & pongids-sivapiths (E -> S.Asia),
    Med.Sea hominids died out (Messinian Salinity Crisis 5.96–5.33 Ma? Zanclean flood 5.33 Ma? Plio-Pleist.cooling...?), only the Red Sea hominids suvived: today Gorilla & Homo-Pan,
    -8 Ma northern Rift fm: Orrorin, Sahelanthr., Praeanthr.afarensis->boisei, HP remained in Red Sea,
    -5.33 Ma Red Sea opened into Gulf (Francesca Mansfield): Pan went right -> E.Afr.coast -> southern Rift: Au.africanus->robustus // afarensis->boisei, google "aquarboreal",
    Pliocene Homo went left -> SE.Asia, e.g. early-Pleist.H.erectus Java: brain x2, pachy-osteo-sclerosis, stone tools, shell engravings, island colonizations = shallow-diving for shellfish.

    IOW, only incredible imbeciles believe their ancestors ran after kudus, fat & furless, sweating water+sodium under the hot Afr.sun. :-DDD
    Incredible fools!

    Why don't you get it over with & denounce Aquatic Ape as "Jewish Science."

    Maybe hold a book burning.

    No contradictions.
